You may remember Kim Kardashian's famous cover shoot for Paper magazine - the one with the popped bottle of champagne and a strategically-placed glass that the editor later admitted was Photoshopped.

Kardashian famously wanted to 'break the internet' with the image, but now rapper Nicki Minaj wants to replicate that feat with her own Paper cover.

The magazine's creative director Drew Elliott said: "“We have never called an issue ‘Break the Internet’ since we did it back in 2014 with Kim Kardashian. It takes a certain type of talent, with an awesome fan base and the ability to put trust in PAPER to work our magic. I have always loved all of the looks that Nicki has done (and she has done them all). Her style (typically anchored by her off-the-charts hair choices) matches her musical talent perfectly.

“‘Break the Internet’ is all about the big idea, the word, the image. It came to me one day that “Minaj à trois” had never been done. HOW? We have seen different versions of Nicki, from high fashion to seductive to in-your-face and eye-catching all at the same time. But we had never seen all of these together – and now we have the chance, thanks to our cover shoot with the rap star and Ellen von Unwerth.”
