There’s no denying Nicki Minaj has released her most personal LP yet with The Pinkprint, and now she’s opening up about what it was like to shed her badass demeanor for a bit and become vulnerable.
In the newest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Minaj addresses the new album, which gives an unprecedented look into her personal life–including her split from Safaree Samuels after 11 years and her decision to have an abortion as a teenager.
One of the topics she decided to let the world in on was the abortion she had at a very young age. “I thought I was going to die,” she admits. “I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through.”
She says the decision has “haunted me all my life,” but she still believes it was the right choice.
“It’d be contradictory if I said I wasn’t pro-choice. I wasn’t ready,” she admits. “I didn’t have anything to offer a child.”
