Nicki Minaj Recalls Pre-Success Suicidal Thoughts

Young Money MC opens up about a dark period in the past, plus big plans for the future in November Cosmo. By James Dinh Nicki Minaj Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/ WireImage Nicki Minaj has soared to the top of the charts and collaborated with pop icons . With all of that success, it’s hard to imagine that the Young Money MC once felt completely down on life. In the November issue of Cosmopolitan, the Harajuku Barbie opens up about a range of topics, including a particularly dark period when the MC actually considered taking her own life. “I kept having doors slammed on my face,” Minaj recalled of her pre-fame struggles. “I felt like nothing was working. I had moved out on my own, and here I was thinking I’d have to go home. It was one dead end after another. At one point, I was, like, ‘What would happen if I just didn’t wake up?’ That’s how I felt. Like maybe I should just take my life?” Having gotten past those low points, the MC tells the magazine that she has firm plans for a bright future. “I will have put out five albums and will have an Oscar and Grammys,” she predicted. “And I will be getting married and, a couple of years after that will have a bun in the oven. … My whole life is about being Nicki Minaj now. It’s a never-ending saga.” Fresh off the release of her collabo with Willow Smith, Minaj had some words of wisdom to share about the differences between her and another star: Lady Gaga. The Queens native said that while both embrace over-the-top fashion, for the MC, it’s not a 24/7 routine. “I think Gaga is freakin’ dope for that,” she said. “But I can’t be bothered. Give me my sweats. I like transforming from completely raggedy to ‘Ahhh, I’m ready.’ That transformation gives me a high.” Related Artists Nicki Minaj

Sofia Vergara: "I’ve Had Huge Boobs Since I Was 13"

Capping off a week of sexy celebs sharing their suckle-stalk secrets is Sofia Vergara , the Columbian export who is currently straining men’s jeans as Gloria on Modern Family. According to Sofia, she’s been making the hombres sweat for quite some time now- in a surprisingly sexy interview (well, for middle-aged mom mag Redbook , anyway), Sofia shares this tantalizing tidbit about her tits: I’ve had these ridiculously huge boobs since I was super young. Like, 13. I was really skinny at that time, so it was weird to have those f–king boobs and be skinny. It was hideous. Then after I had my kid, I got hips and everything started to come together. Are we sure Sofia knows what “hideous” means? See more from voluptuous vixen Sofia Vergara right here at MrSkin.com!

Nicki Minaj Says "Good Morning, America" with Her Boobs [PICS]

Nicki Minaj. She’s got a big ol’ badonkadonk butt. But did you know Harajuku Barbie also has a big ol’ front? Tit’s true! And oh, did she prove it this morning on Good Morning America , when her left breast popped out during a live performance. The epic nip slip lasted for about 15 seconds- long enough for the nip to fall out, the guys in the control room to notice and cut the feed, and STILL have that puppy flying free when they came back to the show. The breast part? This is the first nudity, accidental or not, that we’ve seen from the always sexy but usually skingy Nicki. ABC, no doubt terrified of all the FCC fines and angry letters from uptight killjoys that are coming their way, has already issued a statement of apology: “Although we had a five-second delay in place for the Nicki Minaj concert on GMA, the live East Coast feed of the concert regrettably included certain fleeting images of the performer that were taken out of later feeds of the broadcast in other time zones. We are sorry that this occurred,” ABC said in its statement. Don’t apologize, ABC- this is one of the best mornings Skin Central has had for a while! If you live in a time zone where Nicki’s nipple was cut from her performance, or if you just slept in, never fear- Mr. Skin’s got the video of Nicki’s MAM-azing nip slip , and it’s right here on MrSkin.com!

Nicki Minaj Says Lil Wayne Is ‘Focused’ In Prison

MC talked about Weezy, Justin Bieber and more in interview with Funkmaster Flex. By James Dinh Nicki Minaj Photo: MTV November will be an important month for Nicki Minaj . During that month, the Young Money darling will drop her debut album Pink Friday and celebrate Lil Wayne’s release from jail. In an interview with Funkmaster Flex , the Harajuku Barbie spoke about her latest visit with Weezy, the backlash to Will.I.Am’s VMA outfit and a recent attempt to scam her fans. “I went to see [Lil Wayne], like, five days ago,” she told the DJ. “I was on Rikers. First of all, his birthday is coming up in a few days. He was just very focused, but he was laughing the same way. He was just making me laugh.” Minaj admitted that she forgot to thank her mentor when she revealed her album title during a live chat with fans . “He said that people were writing him in jail saying, ‘We love Thank Me Later and we can’t wait for Pink Friday .’ So he said he was looking at the letters and was like, ‘What the hell is Pink Friday ?’ ” the rapper explained. “I didn’t even tell him that [was] my album name and stuff, and he found out in jail by fans writing him letters. So he was like, ‘OK, Nick, that’s the name of your album,’ and we were just having a great conversation.” Nicki then talked about the blowback her VMA performance partner, Will.I.Am, received for his all-black outfit, which included dark makeup . “You’re talking to me. And I live for doing stuff that is super crazy and outside the box, so I loved it,” she said. “People are always going to have an opinion. It’s like ‘Yo, let him do his thing.’ I think that Will.I.Am lived on a different planet. You can’t expect him to make common folk happy. Common folk ain’t never happy with anything. … They going to pick everything apart.” The Peas frontman wasn’t the only guy she spoke about. When asked if she thought teen heartthrob Justin Bieber had a crush on her, she joked, “I think so. I think he had a little jungle fever. You know what I mean? I had to let the young boy know.” The two shared a cheek kiss during the 2010 VMAs. Before Minaj left, she took some time to address a recent controversy surrounding an upcoming concert at Montclair State University in New Jersey. She is being billed as the event’s headliner, even though she isn’t performing. “I didn’t have anything to do with it,” she said. “People are going around pretending that they are able to book me. They’re acting like they can sign paperwork and get me to do clubs, but in fact, I’ve never met these people a day in my life. I don’t know who these people are.” Nicki explained that she woke up one day and found fans tweeting about it. “I thought that it was a joke and then I clicked on it and it was dead serious, so I had to shut that down.” For now, the singer has recruited a legal team to look into the matter and said that she’ll post her actual tour dates on her Twitter or official website . “I’m so tired of people getting scammed,” she said.
