Nicki Minaj talks becoming a mother and how she wanted to quit her career: Read more
In her interview for this month's Vogue Italia issue, Nicki Minaj reflected on a plethora of topics, including motherhood. The rapper, 42, revealed she "put off becoming a mother" so she could make a name for herself as a musician and businesswoman first:
"As a woman, I put off becoming a mother. A lot of women in the industry, especially older than me, never had children. Some don't regret it, but others do. I put it off. "
Minaj, who was voted Best Female Rapper of All Time by Billboard this year, reflected on how she lived within modest means growing up and had to work twice as hard to get where she is today:
"I had to earn everything, I had nothing and I wanted it more than the others. And when my friends drank or smoked weed or wanted to go to clubs, I went, yes, but not so often."
Nicki Minaj currently shares a four-year-old son with her husband, Kenneth Petty.
During the interview, she also revealed that she had some major setbacks in the form of criticisms early on in her career, which often left her feeling like she should have quit:
"I've heard every possible criticism about me. I've thought about quitting so many times. I'm glad I didn't. I hope my story can be an inspiration, and push kids, adults, anyone, not to give up," said the rapper.
Nicki Minaj last dropped Pink Friday 2 in December 2023. This November 2024, she dropped AGATS2 (Insecure), and fans have been awaiting her forthcoming project since then.
