Nicki, who would keep certain personal things from fans – as she should have – decided that she wanted to take a leap. “One of my goals was to give people a glimpse into my personal life, because it’s something I’ve kept very private,” she says. The artist then goes on to talk about a the child that she never birthed – always a sensitive topic.
Nicki alludes to a pregnancy that ended in abortion on The Pinkprint.
Minaj’s first love was an older guy from Queens she dated while attending the prestigious Manhattan performing-arts high school LaGuardia. When she discovered she was pregnant, “I thought I was going to die,” she admits. “I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through.” She ended up having an abortion, a decision she says has “haunted me all my life,” though it was the right choice for her at the time. “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 first rapped about the experience on a mixtape track called “Autobiography” she says she “didn’t expect anyone to hear.” Now the world is listening to every word she says very carefully: “Millions of people are gonna hear it. And you gotta watch everything you say — people find an issue with every fucking thing.”

One thing that makes an artist likable is their ability to be humble and let fans in. I commend Nicki for it. The female has let us in, in more ways than one.
