   Nicki Minaj probably went under the knife for a bigger backside, says report

Rapper Nicki Minaj is not only a force to be reckoned with on the music scene, she’s also reaping praises for her enviably curvy backside – which is precisely what is getting her now in the headlines.

According to a report on Make Me Heal, people who know Nicki from way back have noticed that it’s not just her popularity that seems to be growing, since her famous derriere also appears to be getting bigger.

This, of course, has prompted speculation that the 25-year-old rapper may have visited a surgeon’s for some help – and has gotten either a lift or implants.

Certainly, side by side photos would seem to confirm the rumors that not all the junk in Nicki’s trunk is 100 percent hers but, then again, one of the pics is taken when she was much younger. “25-year old hip hop artist Nicki Minaj is as well known for her unusually prominent rear end as she is for her rhymes. Many suspect that Nicki has been under the knife for a buttocks augmentation to help accentuate her curves,” Make Me Heal writes.

Dr. Michael Salzhauer, a Miami surgeon, has never met or treated the rapper but he’s convinced a surgeon’s hand is to thank for her prominent backside – at least, based on the photos available.

“It looks like Rapper Nicki Minaj may have had a buttocks augmentation and most likely with a technique known as a Brazilian lift,” Sazlhauer says.

“This procedure consists of liposuctioning different parts of the body and then taking that fat and re-injecting it into the patient’s buttocks. This procedure creates a very full and round buttocks,” the surgeon further says.

When asked for a comment on the rumors, Nicki’s response was crystal clear: she hasn’t had anything done but people would pick on anything about her simply because she’s a public figure.

Not that she minds it all that much, come to think of it.

“Absolutely not. People will pick anything to talk about, and that happens to be the thing at the moment. I love being a conversation piece,” she said.
