Ice-T’s wife Coco, a glamour model, reality star and, as of late, fashion designer, is known for her impressive backside – and so is rapper Nicki Minaj. In a recent interview, Coco makes a claim no other celebrity has made before, saying Nicki got implants to be this way.

Coco sat down with gossip blogger Perez Hilton to promote her and Ice-T’s brand new E! reality show, “Ice Loves Coco,” and, among other things, she also dissed Nicki a bit, as the video below will confirm.

On the topic of natural vs. surgically enhanced assets, the reality star says she knows for a fact that Nicki’s much-mediated backside would fall in the latter category.

“Well, I read that it wasn’t. I thought that she came out with it. I heard it from her,” Coco tells the blogger, who immediately reacts with “Oh, the scandal!”

Perhaps realizing that, in fact, Nicki never came out saying that she had received some help in the looks department from a surgeon, Coco tries to backtrack.

At the same time, she continues to maintain the same: Nicki’s backside is fake.

“Okay I don’t know... We’re not even going to go there anymore,” Coco initially says.

She then goes on to add that words of mouth travels in showbiz, so whatever source she got that from is reliable.

“You know what I say about a lot of stylists that work with me... They work with me, they touch my body, they’re doing stuff all day long,” the star says.

“So they’re doing that same thing to Nicki Minaj and they’re saying a little bit different,” Coco adds. In other words, while her own derriere is all natural, Nicki’s is anything but.

As of now, the rapper has not responded in any way to the claims made by Coco on such a popular channel, but it could be that she’s too busy touring with Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale Tour, which kicked off last night, to pay attention to that now.
