Nicki Minaj Opens Up about 'Abortion' - It Almost Killed her!
Nicki Minaj opened up about her past life in a candid interview with the Rolling Stone Magazine revealing that she had an abortion in her teens and that almost killed her.
Talking about her latest album "The Pinkprint," Minaj reveals that many songs on the LP were personal and therefore she "toned down" the loud costumes and focused more on her personal experiences and song writing.
Minaj confessed she struggled with doing little things as small as "sleeping alone" referring to the aftermath of the end of her 11-year-old relationship with Safaree Samuels.
Minaj also recounted that her first love was an older guy from Queens and they date when she was attending Manhattan performing-arts high school LaGuardia. She admitted getting pregnant at that time and remembered how terrified she was on finding out.
"I thought I was going to die," she confessed.
However, the "Anaconda" hitmaker decided that an abortion was the right thing to do because she was not ready to have a child then.
"It'd be contradictory if I said I wasn't pro-choice. I wasn't ready. I didn't have anything to offer a child," she said.
Minaj also added that the decision to not have the child has haunted her all her life. She said she had rapped about the experience in a mixtape "Autobiography" but didn't expect many people to hear it. But in "The Pinkprint" she dedicated a song called "All Things Go" to the unborn child, the lyrics of which go:
"My child with Aaron, would've been 16 any minute / So in some ways I feel like Caiah is the both of them / It's like he's Cai's little angel looking over him," she raps comparing the unborn child to her younger brother Micaiah.
Minaj also appears on the cover of the December issue of Rolling Stones magazine, where she bares it all - almost. Minaj is seen wearing a barely there white tank top and with minimal makeup, she wears her dark hair down.
