'Chase your dreams': Nicki Minaj is a bare-faced beauty as she shares throwback photo from her childhood days
Since bursting on the music scene, Nicki Minaj has surprised fans with her jaw-dropping taste in style, fast becoming a bona fide sex symbol.
And the 32-year-old, who has come a long way from her childhood days, decided to pay homage to her past humble beginnings by taking to social media sites to share an old throwback photo.
Flashing a hint of smile and dressed in a bright red jumper, the American singer - real name Onika Tanya Maraj - looked almost unrecognisable as she posed for the camera.

'Chase your dreams': Nicki Minaj decided to pay homage to her childhood days by taking to social media sites to share an old throwback photo
‘Chase your dreams,’ the Super Bass hitmaker simply captioned the image, posted on Friday.
With her sleeks locks partially braided and her barefaced beauty on show, Nicki looked a far cry from the risque image she pulls off now.
Earlier on, the popular rapper shared a series of selfies with her ample cleavage on full show as she squeezed her toned assets in an extremely tight black number.

Shred it up in a Tom Ford fringe gown
No more crazy red carpet getups for Nicki Minaj! She traded in the pink wigs and cartoon-esque costumes for a more demure, toned down look that we're really feeling. Like this shiny Tom Ford with its fringed skirt and down-to-there neckline. Well, some things don't change...
Ever since he left Gucci just over ten years ago to concentrate on his own eponymous label, Tom Ford has been consistently churning out sultry pieces that have been scooped up by the likes of Rihanna and Julianne more. He is one of the few designers to have a menswear line that is just as popular as the one for women.
The shredded hem on this daring number adds an interesting aspect to an otherwise ordinary black gown. We found one just like this one of a kind item in our edit by Herve Leger. But don't worry if the cost is too through the roof. There's more affordable fringed styles from ASOS and American Apparel that are sure to please.
Promoting her latest venture, which will see the star take on the role of Draya in new movie Barbershop 3, Nicki labelled one picture with the words, ‘Trailer life.’
She also wrote: ‘Who's going to see #BarberShop3 ?????’
Aside from her blooming career, Nicki appears to be completely smitten with her boyfriend and fellow recording artist Meek Mill, whom she first started dating at the beginning of the year.

It emerged in April that they were engaged, but Meek, 28, was quick to deny the speculation after Nicki was snapped with a massive yellow diamond heart ring.
'I ain't engaged,’ he told Fader Magazine, before telling the publication his relationship with the Anaconda singer is ‘definitely real.’
‘But it ain't really time to get married yet. We're still learning each other, feeling each other out,' he explained.
