Nicki Minaj may be a Hip-Hop titan, but the rapper’s rise hasn’t been without its hardships.
In the newest edition of Rolling Stone, the femcee – whose new album ‘The Pinkprint’ hit stores last week, opened up about having an abortion as a teen and her struggles thereafter.
The ‘Anaconda’ belter also clapped back at critics of her racy look and antics.
Her words below…
Recalling the horror of making the decision to end the pregnancy, which occurred when she was a teen, the 32-year-old told the publication:
“I thought I was going to die. I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through.
[It’s] haunted me all my life. 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.”
Addressing those who slam her image, Minaj added:
“I’m a grown-a** f*cking woman! I stand for girls wanting to be sexy and dance, but also having a strong sense of themselves.
If you got a big ol’ butt? Shake it! Who cares? That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be graduating from college”. {Source}

I liked her album ALOT but I just wonder why she is being so candid now….
FOR SALES!!!!!!!!!!
Like the way Beyoncé does and still is unable to sell half off what Adele and Taylor Swift sell (with far less stunts).
The “SUPPOSED” @Thewigsnatcher Keep it cute ! You have a lot of trash sh** u talking with no facts let’s Not hun! Ummm-Kay
@you tried nothing:
Of course a BeyHIVe member like you will come for like an uneducated fool without his GED KNOWING that I have the ability to drag him by his ratty tatty cheap weave if he wants to pull receipts with me. Be gone, peasant!
Flopnika Garbaj didn’t have an abortion. The baby couldn’t survive the trip through her stink pusssy. I can’t wait to see the Pink slip’s second week numbers. That will be a real KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Lmao!!!!!!! Clock that fraud like Beyonce. Her Lil kim impressions getting better. Kimmy Blanco also told people about her abortion. F*** THAT STUPID H**!!!!!!!
@LilKim, lmfao smh!
LOL
I believe Nicki’s story like I believe that Lil’ Kim never had plastic surgery and sold more than 100K units of Black Friday.
U delusionalist and your hate for QUEEN BEY IS HILARIOUS! You guys are sooo mad! Should I get you a Kleenex or some water because u b****** are THIRSTY!

And Lil Kim and Iggy album sales in the past 12 years still cannot catch up collectively to what Nicki has sold since 2009. Yet, you come for her with your adult chaperone.
I’m with her if your a grown woman, and you want to twerk, Twerk! Life is too short to live your life according to other people standards.
Support her…help that anorexic ass selling cd of hers
Bi.tch you trying it today. Watch it s***.

MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER MURDERER
You know Lil Kim had an abortion too, right? It was right before Hard Core. So…
DEATH!
lil kim aka Annabelle not only was a side chick to a married man but she got pregnant by him and she had abortion hmmmmm what was him name? oh yea he goes by the name of The Notorious B.I.G
Lil Kim also got an abortion. She was impregnated by the Notorious B.I.G – a then married man. Maybe the failure of her career and the IRS being after her face is a result of the abortion and her aborted baby haunting her.
DEEEEEEEEEEAAATH!!!!!!!!!!
You do know that plastic 40 y.o. muppet you stan do had 2 abortions, right? 2 that we know of, that is.
This is a mess. Her Christian fans are gonna abandon her now. Will the Pink Print go platinum in the US, I don’t know anymore.
Lmao her “christian” fans? You’re kidding, right?
Yes biitch, her christian fans. You must be one of those kids who have parents that live and breath the bible and only watch religious TV channels. Now shake your head to that. I don’t tolerant mediocrity. Fuuck outta my reply box with that shiit.
*SCR-REEEEAMMING!!!!!!* LOLOLOL!!!!
Lol and that’s the best you can come up with? You are as stupid as you sound.
Abortion OMG!
I can’t tell a woman what to do with her body, but the “I’m not ready to be a parent” is a dumb excuse. If you’re not ready, STOP FVCKING!
I rather her say she wasn’t ready rather than bring a child into the world and abandoned that child.. that was her life experience and right now your being ignorant with your comment..s*** like that ain’t nothing to poke fun at.. abortions mentally f*** up a girl mentally and physically
No, what I said was the god damn truth. Don’t want a baby? Don’t have s**. Don’t wait til you’re knocked up and THEN worry about your future. Think of your future when you’re opening your legs. Agian, I can’t tell a woman what to do with her body, but the “I’m not ready, so I’m going to kill my unborn because of MY poor decisions” is a cop out. Abortion is only ok when the woman was r**** or the child will bring her life to an end. Not dumb teens thinking their grown until their knocked up.
O_o
Dude WTF??? Are you crazy? You don’t know this woman. This the craziest shiit I’ve ever read. The Lil Kim stans must really hate this woman.
The “Lil’Kim Fans SEETH at her having an abortion ubu years ago & it’s not going to produce SELLS PEOPLE!! Your “Pink Shrimp” album isn’t doing what you thought it would & Now LETS CRY OUT FOR HELP!! I kill myself much like your ALBUM HAS KILLED MANY OTHERS IN A not so Cherry WAY!! Lol
The word is SALES sweetie. Try learning proper grammar before you try coming for somebody.
This isn’t new…she said it in her Autobiography song. I was going to wonder when she was gonna bring it up
That’s so sad. Sorry Onika
Hmm you believed that. For beyonce to fake prego and stage elevator fight and break for sales there is nothing this people can do or say for attention I don’t buy it.
For you to stan for RihIndustryPussy ur world sure does seem to revolve a lot around The Queen Bey.
I know u are a part of the R****** Navy but DAMN!!!
I don’t judge any woman who has an abortion. Better to do that than bring a child into this world to struggle and end up as just another welfare case. Real talk, there’s people walking around this planet now that should have been aborted.
P.S., Great tits, Nicki!
Sissy
Lol thanks for proving my point about people that should have been aborted.
Rolling Stone STILL owes Drake a proper cover. It would be in great taste if they catch up on this before offering a cover to Iggy or to Taylor Swift for the 10000th time.
As for Nicki, well congrats my b*****, you made it.
When all else fails, be transparent. Lawd knows those album sales are flopping.
Chiiiile….tell dat Truth. Yes bish
BEAUTIFUL COVER
Go buy her FLOP cd and gtf off this site
By the way, when is Queen Bey getting her second cover, Rolling Stone??? It’s been 10 years chile!
She has already flopped this whole will not help her flopping self.
Gives u hi five.. *shashays away*
*Sashay – Truthski, not shashay. LOL
HDD said this week The Pinkprint’ is selling 100k. At this rate it will go Gold before The New Accent. Watch these broke bums flood my reply box.
Eat me
Yup sold 104k without streams. Should be gold by the end of January.
“The New Accent”, SHADE heffa, SHADE!
mm not flopping 104k(without streams) second week
…guys be happy…
and abortion as a t*** well….she is still my fave artist in the world again…I don’t care about an artist personal life
reminder 301k(2wks) without streams >>>> 422k(9months)
-even macklemore said it better
-us sales will probably help WW sales
…..
were is rashad? nobody has answered my questions yet and its sad!!!
1: why was Iggy nominated in a pop category according to Grammy rules?
2: u asked y we waited 4 Iggy to be popular first? because nobody knows who she was…as she started eating enough money then she get enough critism….let see look at rihanna, Beyonce, Nicki ..all got same or more criticism
3: even Iggy criticized Nicki (bet awards 2013, calling PF:RR rigid)
4: macklemore said even if he worked hard for his position, immediately he blew up he was like ‘hiphop hero’ look at what is happening now to Iggy
side note: if u reply me u are honestly waisting your time…I absolutely don’t love/hate iggy…but I see things that makes u wanna reason…plus I’m white that reasons with blacks…..bye *goes to bed*
This biitch having MELTDOWNS HONEY!!!!
@truth(blah. blah, blah) I’m laughing, u guys notice before the pink print prediction he was nowhere to be found and then he disappeared when they published 201k….when he saw Nicki is to do better than Iggy he changed his username!!! now he never talks about 244k that Kim/Iggy would murder for but talks abt WW (sales that will be helped by US, the way the pink print is going)… u are hilarious and I just laugh at your comments..:):)
back to TPP: its going to be Gold God willing in next two weeks….target is getting their asses 2geda and her sales nowadays are coming from download instead of physical copies!!
@danyiel Teflon unlike truth is the most ‘most seek for attention’ illiterate idiosyncratic ‘unnoticable’ fossil that comments here..always saying dig Iggy’s music, Nicki is trash..that’s your opinion but why aren’t u buying reflippfied from falling down from billboard after 2weeks
@iggy on top or whatever that said Nicki is doing less less than 100k first week ..were are u?
@beyminaj I like u but why say its going gold end of July when its approximately 360k with streams..we just need 140k more 2go
seriously!! haters need to chill….I laugh when I read comments here, it makes me love nicki more, whether u say the CD flopped from now till next year it doesn’t make it true…..Most of you are probably not from US…
my fave barbs on DGJ…
Faf
truth setrum
beyminaj …etc..:)
*can’t sleep* 🙁
Not a Fan of ANYONE who steals an Artist Act & Runs away with it if you don’t like it IDGAF!! I like Iggy’s music if you DON’T Thats on you, doesn’t bother me!!….carry on folks!!
Oh I didn’t say July, I said January. But the ways her sales are set up it looks like it’ll happen before 🙂
Um Nicki I’mma let you finish your article but Lil Kim had an abortion first!
Are you like 12?
Little boy names don’t bother me at all. I would have responded to you earlier but unlike you I have a career. Not a job baby girl a career. I only come here because it’s little high schoolers like you on your winter break that get so bothered when someone talks about your “Queen” take some advice and stay in school. Spend more time with your nose in a book instead of worrying about how old I am. The path you are on now you will never see a degree other than the copy of that 98 Degree CD that your mom has in her collection.
I had no idea Missy stans were so childish but daymn..
STAN is what you are, I’m a fan of music period. You are the pot calling the kettle black and probably the biggest hypocrite here. If it weren’t for your deranged ramblings and total bull from STANS like you I would never post anything. You Nicki fans can talk trash about anybody and but we are childish when we return the same. Well you can eat my a$$ with a spoon. Fck Nicki and fck you too.
& for all you hooked on ebonics t*****’s, Nicki been revealed her abortion way back in 2008 on a personal Song called ‘Autobiography’. Stink booty ass haters.
love the cover and the interview,the queen been doing her thing.
You haters are deranged, this era is about stripping down and allowing her fans to get to know her. The cd is dope and selling just fine.
By the way, she looks gorgeous on that cover!
Ikr??
Her boobs
I think Onika is a very pretty Black woman, but I seriously don’t like how her boobs look in the opening picture. Why couldn’t they let her wear something less revealing? She would’ve still slayed the cover.
Slay them all Queen Onika
Nicki has mentioned having an abortion on different occasions. So I don’t the big deal she made a choice and now let’s move on women make this choice everyday but who are we to judge? because we all make choices that may not be popular among society but it’s best to acknowledge them and move forward.
Wow, her surgeon did a great job on making her tits look decent!
Her sales this week are also good but expected since it was Xmas. It will go gold. I wonder how much her sales will drop in Q1 though since no one can even sell more than 30K a week anymore in Jan/Feb.
What a horrible woman. How could she pose for a magazine with those African tribe woman tits just hanging there like curtains?
Lol! I’m dyingggg!!!!!!!! Help revive me by throwing me a biscuit.
Somebody sounds jealous.
@NeNe
For you to stan for RihIndustryPussy, ur world sure does seem to revolve around The Queen Bey.
I know u are apart of the R****** Navy but DAMN!!!
To all yall Lil kim fans poking fun at her abortion KILL YOURSELF… ABORTIONS AINT NOTHING TO POKE FUN AT.. ITS TAKES A LOT TO BE OPEN ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIVES AND STRUGGLES.. FEMALES GO THROUGH A LOT…
Nothing on the fad dragging the 88 year old skeleton on a tour? Literally clinging to him for the remainder of his dear life. It’s next era will be so interesting.
You are as pressed as one of the shirts my made steams for me.
.
Stay mad at lana Fad Rey struggling to outsell ArTpop and cheek to cheek
LOL DID LANA DEL LESSOR KILL HERSELF YET OVER ULTRAFLOPPAGE AND ITS EPIC FAIL? DID IT GO TIN FOIL YET? LOL
Ultraviolence Gold Yet?
I choose Lil Kim over her. Lil Kim and Eve collabo will be great!
I don’t like this girl.
Then stop commenting on every single f**Cking article!!!!
The PinkPrint held on to weaves this week, it sold a further 100,000 (105,000 exact) this week. Bringing it to a total of 303,000 after just 2 weeks.
While Piggy is scraping 450K after 9 months, and these b****** still try it.
Not to mention
METACRITIC
TPP – 71/100
TNC – 56/100
