Unless you've been living under a media-free rock, you've heard about all the recent Photoshop controversy. Last week, Lena Dunham's images sparked a decidedly ridiculous body-shaming frenzy. Now, Nicki Minaj is taking to her Instagram to call out ESPN Magazine for retouching her cover with NBA star, Kobe Bryant. She posted this image with the comment, "I love my personal unretouched photos where my forehead doesn't mysteriously grow in length." Burn.
The next image was of the cover in question, to which she captioned, "When retouching goes wrong." Word to the wise, if you're going to Photoshop a very famous star… make sure it still looks like her afterwards.
