Paper Gets Nicki Minaj To Go Green

Filed Under: Anna Wintour Spread 'Em Nicki Minaj Cyndi Lauper

Nicki Minaj is following up her pink Wonderland cover by going green for Paper's spring fashion issue.

Simon Doonan interviewed the eccentric singer, who was wearing only a pink thong and t-shirt, over the phone and talked about fashion of course!

Here are some HIGHlights:

On what she was thinking while sitting next to Anna Wintour at Fashion Week:

"I was screaming out loud inside my head. Me sitting next to the Queen of Vogue! It was such a strange experience. I felt like I was dreaming. And I thought she would be snobby or something. But she was so incredibly sweet to me."

On her biggest style icons:

"Grace Jones definitely. So amazing. And Cyndi Lauper, I loved her right from when I was a little girl. And Janet Jackson of course. And Boy George. I always loved the way he dressed, and his music too."

Simon ended the interview by thanking Nicki for giving "all the stupid hoes of the world" a voice. LOLz!
