Nicki Minaj: My Abortion Has "Haunted Me All My Life"

Nicki Minaj has her boobs on full display in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. But, for a change, it’s actually the words spoken by this artist to the publication that have people talking. That’s because Minaj opens up to the magazine about the abortion she underwent as a teenager. In the cover story, Minaj talks about an older guy from Queens she dated while she was a student at the performing-arts high school LaGuardia. The relationship led to an unexpected pregnancy and then to a decision that weighs on Nicki’s mind to this day. “I thought I was going to die,” she tells Rolling Stone. “I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through.” In the new track “All Things Go,” Minaj hints at the termination of this pregnancy, rapping that “my child with Aaron would’ve been 16 any minute.” Speaking directly of the abortion to Rolling Stone, Minaj says the choice is something that “has haunted me all my life.” The Grammy nominee (and THG Celebrity of the Year #8 ) is clearly still affected by her past, yet she did what she believed was right at the time. “I wasn’t ready,” she says. “I didn’t have anything to offer a child.” 19 Nicki Minaj Fun Facts! 1.
