Coco Austin Claims SHE, Not Kim Kardashian Or Nicki Minaj Created The Derriere Phenomenon

She began her modelling career in 1997 at the age of 18. Now Coco Austin, 38, has posted one of her vintage modelling shots to Instagram and claimed that she started 'the derriere phenomenon' years 'before KimK [and] Nicki 0Minaj' were on the scene.

She wrote in the social media post.

'To have booty it was considered to be fat in the modeling world.. But I helped changed the minds of what booty was. During my time it was pretty much Jlo that was making waves with the derriere phenomenon. Of course I need to give props to Anna Nicole Smith for also seeing this vision. I helped history..I don't want to toss it aside like it was nothing...,' she said.
