Rapper Nicki Minaj has opened up about her body insecurities in a candid interview about body positivity.

Society has adopted a mantra to be comfortable in the skin you are in over the past few years and the Last Time I Saw you rapper has weighed in on the uptick of body positivity messages.

“I’m not in favour of body positivity if it means unhealthy bodies. That’s bull. It’s not believable, so let’s stop pretending,” Nicki Minaj said while speaking to Vogue.

Minaj stars as Vogue’s December cover and spoke to the magazine about her own insecurities.

She said now, at age 40, she has come to understand the importance of loving oneself whether you have curves or not.

Minaj, who has recently had a breast-reduction surgery, spoke about her previous desires to have a bigger butt.

“I’ve had a lot of time to figure myself out. The idea of accepting what you can’t change – it just never clicked with me before. Now I understand,”

Minaj also explained that after giving birth to her son, she felt pressure to quickly get back into shape and tied this into the difficulties of being a mother.

The star explained that as she has grown to manage her expectations of life and come to terms with not being able to control all aspects.

“You know that feeling when you unlock one of the secrets of life?” she continued.

“For me the idea of accepting what you can’t change—it just never clicked with me before. You want to have control over everything, but that’s the easiest way to be unhappy.

“So now, if I find myself trying to control it all, I try to remember what’s really important. I look in my son’s face, and my whole soul lights up. He has no clue how nerve-racking it’s been for me to be a mother and an artist”
