Some might say she's crazy, some might say she's cool; but there's one thing we do know for sure: Nicki Minaj is definitely one of a kind! In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Nicki talks about her latest album "The Pinkprint" and opens up about her personal life; a side we've never seen from her before.
In the first part of the interview, the rapper talks about the exhausting process she had to go through in order for her 15-minute Pinkprint movie to get released on time. She looks over retouching and color correction when it isn't done properly. She tells the magazine: "I would save so much time if I didn't care about things like that. But I do." Not only is Minaj a perfectionist, she is also a vulnerable woman. That being said, she wanted to give her fans a glimpse into her private life.
The end of her 11-year relationship with Safaree Samuels is one of the many events in her life that inspired her songwriting for the new album. She says: "I had to learn to do something as simple as sleep alone. I struggled with 'Do I express these feelings?'". She decided she wasn't going to hide anymore as she reveals another painful moment in her life; a pregnancy that ended in abortion.
While attending a performing arts high school, Nicki was dating a much older man. When she found out she was pregnant, her whole world was turned upside down. "I thought I was going to die", she says. The abortion is something that has haunted her all her life and for her, not having the baby was the right decision to make at the time. She just wasn't ready for it.
