Rapper Nicki Minaj Rocks "Au Naturale"

Rapper Nicki Minaj, the 31 year old "Super Bass" singer (seen above), has did away with her signature colorful wigs and wild makeup in favor of a more ladylike style, that seems ages away from her animated rap character we all came to know. 

The curvaceous star tried out her new look on the red carpet at The Other Woman premiere in Los Angeles on April 21, and at the MTV Movie Awards on April 13.

Although Minaj's hair stylist prefers wigs over real hair since all the styling, heat, and color can severely damage hair follicles, the sexy rapper, who recently released her latest fragrance Minajesty, is staying away from them. "I'm trying to gradually get her back into wigs, but she's adamant now," he says. "She doesn't want it."

Good for you Nicki, rock your "au naturale" hair and have fun while you're doing it! Personally, I've been waiting to see the "real" Nicki behind the commercialized character Nicki, and I must say that I'm pleasantly impressed.
