GIRL, WHAT?: Coco Says She Paved “The Way For Thick Girls” Before Kim Kardashian & Nicki Minaj
Nicole Natalie Marrow Austin, better known as Coco, is either recognized as Ice-T’s wife or a curvaceous model that has graced the monthly covers of motorcycle calendars and magazine editorials, totalling up a 21-year modelling career.
The 38-year-old, whose current Instagram feed is typically filled with her mom duties with her two-year-old daughter, Chanel, has now been interrupted by a notable throwback of her flaunting a string bikini. The lengthy caption reads in detail on how she set the standard for bodacious women “during the Kate Moss days” when stick thin models were the norm.
Coco name drops big booty stars of today such as Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj, saying she flaunted her curves long “before the plastic surgery craze.”
“During my time it was pretty much Jlo that was making waves with the derriere phenomenon and Cindy Margolis was a popular bikini model and Buffie the Body was a popular urban model,” she says. “…and of course I need to give props to Anna Nicole Smith for also seeing this vision..To have booty it was considered to be fat in the modeling world.. But I helped changed the minds of what booty was.”
Coco and Ice-T had their own reality series, Ice Loves Coco that ran from 2011 until 2013. After that, Ice & Coco aired for just one year in 2015.
