Nicki Minaj has not always been household name and international superstar. Earlier this year, the artist talked openly about her abusive father and how she truly believed he would murder her mother. Now, in the November issue of Cosmopolitan , Minaj shares another dark fact about her past: she once considered suicide. “I kept having doors slammed in my face,” Nicki tells the magazine of her early career. “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 just 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?’” Millions of face around the globe, of course, are very happy that Nicki kept fighting. As the cover above states, this singer most definitely rules her world.
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
