Nicki Minaj got candid like never before in her upcoming documentary, Queen, reports, EOnline.com. The Barbie Tingz rapper shared two clips from the autobiographical project, revealing a tumultuous childhood that eventually impacted her to a point where a past relationship that became “violent” and almost threatened her own identity.
“Maybe some people would describe me as abrasive or bitchy or whatever because I vowed from that age no man would ever abuse me, call out my name or treat me like that,” she described as tears rolled down her face. “Then all of a sudden, that was my life.”
The rapper also recalled trying to save her mother from a physically abusive father.
Nicki revealed that the abuse robbed her of any motivation to make music, explaining, “Who was I going to inspire when I had nothing in me to give? I let one human being make me so low, that I didn’t even remember who I was. I was scared to get in the studio. I didn’t believe in myself.”
