Angela R. White, who is more commonly known as Blac Chyna, has put up a seasonal query of sorts for her followers, ‘Have you been Naughty or Nice this year?’ The wonder of her makeover overshadowed her question entirely. The new persona began to rule over the discussion in a way that people had no longer realized it was the same star they were talking. Many shared the view that the model had already gotten the full look of a Nicki Minaj and even more had their views reinforced as they continued to see the resemblance.

The image displayed a totally new Angela White. The color and style of her hair were beyond words, this was what the people were talking about first. Almost everyone who saw it could perceive the connection very powerfully and immediately with Nicki Minaj from the entire picture, her posing and styling people were all on the same page. The comments section became a lively place of awe and comparison, where user after user was stating their initial bewilderment. One user wrote, ‘God I thought its nickii,’ and similar replies came at the end of the replies with statements like ‘I did too,’ ‘Me too,’ and ‘literally.’ Another person stated in a direct way, ‘Gurl u looking like Nicki Minaj,’ contrary to this, another one hailed, ‘You and Nicki are literally twinz.’
The shared features were not just skin deep; some comparisons even directly cited her new look as being reminiscent of one taken from Nicki Minaj’s music video. A sharp-eyed individual said, ‘This giving Nicki new body video,’ thus marking the specific iconic moment in the popular culture around which the look was created. The supposed similarities were so striking that the comments on it could not be counted. However, not all the responses were positive towards the new style. One doubter raised the question of how old the imposition was, commenting that it ‘looks familiar.. a little too familiar.. have some originality, no?’ This critique seemed to come from the madding crowd that was taken up largely by comparing and pointed to a discussion that can be expected in the world of celebrity styles to be about inspiration versus imitation.

At the time of Nicki Minaj being discussed, some of the followers gave direct attention to White’s original query. Someone even posted a long and funny self-assessment stating, ‘I got good intentions and try my best but when they test me they bring out the dawgg in me so I guess I been naughty.’ No doubt, the visual aspects of the post were the focal point of the conversation, yet, this response was still considered as contributing to a personal interaction between the user and the celeb. Others, on the contrary, were more than happy to direct their compliments right at Chyna’s artistic representation. One such comment read, ‘All of your creations are beautiful. You are the magician and you own it and you know it,’ which was a kind of acknowledgment of her artistic power to create a strong and appealing look.
