Have you noticed Nicki Minaj's new sexy, understated look? According to The UK Sun, the rapper fired her glam squad which included her stylist, makeup artist and hairdresser because she is "desperate to be taken seriously as an artist." A source told the tabloid, "She's fired her long-standing hairdresser who has been responsible for some of her crazy hairstyles over the years. She's also fired her stylist. Nicki feels that now she's done with 'American Idol' she can finally be taken seriously and release a proper hip-hop album." Speaking of style, this past weekend Ms. Minaj had a private event to announce her new Nicki Minaj Collection with K-Mart. The line will feature dresses, hats, boots and accessories. She said about the line, "Everything I do is a true representation of me. It's very important that I'm not just slapping my name on something. It's important that my fans know that."
