Did It On 'Em!: Nicki Minaj Continues To Set The Standard In Outrageous Floor-Sweeping Wig

She's taking her signature #inches to new lengths.

Nicki Minaj is continuously making changes, especially when it comes to her beauty—more specifically her wigs.

Since stepping on the music scene in the early 2000s, it was not uncommon for the Harajuku Barbie to be spotted in wigs of extreme colors like "Slime Green" or rocking her legendary leopard-print wig. But these days, Nicki is all grown up, and she’s got the #inches to prove it. 

Recently the 35-year-old rapper appeared on the July cover of Elle magazine, and her editorial photo shoot taken by world-renowned fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld is giving us all the feels with her super long hair.

Posing like a true diva, Nicki's image was flawlessly captured as the stylist for her epic floor-length tresses, Kim Kimble, combed it to keep its perfection. 

If you haven’t noticed, the Queens native is often spotted with hair that sweeps the floor, so we know this cover shoot was definitely not outside her comfort zone. Come through, Nicki! 

Keep scrolling to see the behind-the-scenes video of the 5-foot-2 rapper slaying behind the camera.
