Nicki Minaj says she knew she needed a breast reduction after the Met Gala in 2022.

Nicki Minaj says that she "cemented" her decision to get a breast reduction after attending the Met Gala in 2022. Speaking with Vogue for the outlet's Life In Looks video series, Minaj explained that her chest was such an inconvenience on her outfit that she knew it was time. In the video, Minaj reflects on various looks from throughout her career.

When she gets to a photo of herself at the Met Gala, she noted: “I just realized just this moment that actually there was something good that came out of this. It’s what really cemented the fact for me that I had to get my breast reduction.” Minaj recalled: “I said, ‘You guys, listen, look, these boobs are gonna be spilling out.' And by the time we were ready to go, I looked in the mirror, I said, ‘Guys, my boobs are still spilling out.'" She joked that she “knew before we even left the room that the boobs were about to have a night of their own.”
