Nicki Minaj knows a thing or two about changing up her looks. Much like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, the "Anaconda" rapper has followed that Madonna-style model of changing up her style every album era with dramatic -- and sometimes unrecognizable -- results.
I mean, when you look back at photos of Nicki from the last five years, it's almost like you're looking at dozens of different people. Could Ms. Minaj actually be an army of fraternal clones sent to slay us with flawless features? Or is she just very, very skilled at styling a variety of different looks? Probably the second theory, but let's review.
