The 40-year-old rapper confessed her regrets on Thursday’s episode of The Run-Through with Vogue podcast, reports People magazine.

As per People, Nicki immediately told the co-hosts that she prefers not to look at older photos of herself "cause I didn’t like the way I looked." "I didn’t like being skinny, having a flat butt, you know. Having boobs that didn’t sit high enough. It was a lot of things," she continued. The singer said: "And when I look back at myself now, I literally was like, ‘Oh, I’m about to look like that girl again’.

“The reason why I wasn’t able to look back at my old photos was I didn’t like the way I looked, right, physically," Nicki added. "And now I love the way that person looks physically.” The Starships rapper explained how her decision to make changes became reliant on her growing public persona.
