In a new Vogue “Life in Looks” video, the “Barbie World” rapper, 41, revealed that wearing her Burberry look — which featured a cleavage-enhancing bustier, leather pants and a ruffled train — “cemented” her choice to get a breast reduction. “I did my fittings, I told them I loved this hat and I loved what the outfit was giving, but I said, ‘You guys, look, these boobs are going to be spilling out,’” she remembered saying before heading to the red carpet. She also recalled supermodel Naomi Campbell “walking in and out of the room looking at me like, ‘Girl let’s go.'" “I knew before we even left the room that the boobs were about to have a night of their own,” Minaj added. In a November cover story for Vogue, the musician confirmed she had recently had a breast reduction. Nicki Minaj wears Burberry at the 2022 Met Gala.

"I could not believe even some of the photos that I didn’t love.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up to date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

My real self. And it made me think why didn’t I like this? So weird," she said. “But seeing old photos, being able to look at old photos again made me realize, ‘These old photos are beautiful.’”
