She completed the look with a black baseball cap<\/p>\n Nicki explained that she \u201cloved\u201d the outfit during the fitting. \u201cI said, \u2018You guys, listen, look these boobs are gonna be spilling out,\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cAnd by the time we were ready to go, I looked in the mirror, I said, \u2018Guys, my boobs are still spilling out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n However, Nicki and her team didn\u2019t have time to make adjustments before she hit the red carpet. She added that she \u201cknew before [they] even left the room<\/a> that the boobs were about to have a night of their own.\u201d<\/p>\n Nicki opened up about the inspiration for her breast reduction just one month after she admitted she regrets getting plastic surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI guarantee you, if you change anything on your body and do anything surgical and all this, you\u2019re going to \u2014 more than likely, not definitely, more than likely \u2014 look back one day and say, \u2018I was just fine the way I was,\u2019\u201d she said during the November 9 episode of \u201cThe Run-Through With Vogue\u201d podcast<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s what happened to me. I could not believe even some of the photos that I didn\u2019t love.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cBang Bang\u201d singer said she didn\u2019t \u201clike\u201d the way she \u201clooked\u201d during the early days of her career, which led to her decision to go under the knife.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t like being skinny, having a flat butt, you know. Having boobs that didn\u2019t sit high enough. It was a lot of things,\u201d Nicki told hosts Chioma Nnadi<\/strong> and Chloe Malle<\/strong>. \u201cAnd when I look back at myself now, I literally was like, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m about to look like that girl again.<\/a>\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Nicki then admitted that she \u201cwasn\u2019t able to look back at [her] old photos\u201d because she \u201cdidn\u2019t like the way\u201d she looked \u201cphysically.\u201d<\/p>\n While she didn\u2019t specify which cosmetic procedures<\/span><\/a> she\u2019s had done, Nicki previously opened up about <\/span>undergoing her breast reduction surgery and getting butt injections<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n She went on to note that she now views her body differently after becoming a mother. Nicki welcomed her first child<\/a>, a son whose name has not been revealed, in September 2020 with her husband, Kenneth Petty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cI think pregnancy could\u2019ve played a role because seeing my son did remind me of myself so much. My real self,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cAnd it made me think, \u2018Why didn\u2019t I like this?\u2019 So weird. But seeing old photos, being able to look at old photos again made me realize, \u2018These old photos are beautiful.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
