If there’s one thing Nicki Minaj is good at, it’s making us excited about whatever she’s excited about.

This time around, it’s her “V Magazine” cover.

“Its safe to say my cover shoot in V Magazine is dedicated to my gays and fashionistas. My most bad ass shoot to date,” Nicki shared with fans on Monday via her Facebook page.

In the feature photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, readers get to explore the wonder that is Nicki and her rise to fame.

“The fierce and fearless rapper isn’t waiting to take the throne–she’s already wearing the crown,” the Magazine asserts in a preview of the issue.

It hits newsstands later this week. Until, preview the full issue here.
