Nicki Minaj a dezvaluit odata cu noul ei album aspecte ale vietii ei private pe care pana acum nu le stiam. In cel mai recent interviu acordat revistei Rolling Stone, rapperita a povestit drama prin care a trecut cand a ramas insarcinata si decizia pe care a fost nevoita sa o ia.

Nicki Minaj a afisat pentru multa vremea atitudinea de rapperita rea si hotarata si si-a tinut foarte departe de ochii presei viata personala, chiar daca relatia ei cu Safaree Samuels era totusi un lucru cunoscut. Chiar si asa, cei doi nu au facut cunoscut ce se intampla in vietile lor, iar abia recent Onika a mers la radio si a povestit felul in care se simte dupa 11 ani de relatie. Pentru Rolling Stone a facut insa o declaratie pe care nu am fi crezut niciodata ca o vom auzi de la cea care canta Superbass: I had to learn to do something as simple as sleep alone.

Rapperita a recunoscut ca i-a fost greu sa ia decizia de se deschide in privinta vietii personale, dar a simtit ca e cazul: One of my goals was to give people a glimpse into my personal life, because it’s something I\’ve kept very private. I struggled with \’Do I express these feelings?\’ And I decided there’s no reason for me to hide. I\’m a vulnerable woman, and I\’m proud of that.

In plus, a detaliat experienta avortului si faptul ca a ramas insarcinata pe cand era adolescenta si doar eleva la liceu.

I thought I was going to die, she admits. I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I\’d ever gone through. She ended up having an abortion, a decision she says has haunted me all my life, though it was the right choice for her at the time. It\’d be contradictory if I said I wasn\’t pro-choice. I wasn\’t ready. I didn\’t have anything to offer a child. She first rapped about the experience on a mixtape track called Autobiography she says she didn\’t expect anyone to hear. Now the world is listening to every word she says very carefully: Millions of people are gonna hear it. And you gotta watch everything you say — people find an issue with every fucking thing.

Nicki a spus si ce gandeste despre cei care nu iau in serios muzica rap:

I hate when artists brag about not writing rhymes, or doing things really quickly, and then it’s not great, she says. It’s ill when Jay Z or Wayne say it, because the results are great. When they\’re not? Sit your ass down and figure out something new to say!

Chiar si asa, ea continua sa spuna ceea ce crede si despre femei si sexualitate, dar si despre politica, luandu-i apararea lui Kanye West, care mereu a lasat lumea sa stie ce pareri are despre subiectele zilei care implica cetatenii de culoare.

With a video like \’Anaconda,\’ I\’m a grown-ass fucking woman! she says. I stand for girls wanting to be sexy and dance, but also having a strong sense of themselves. If you got a big ol\’ butt? Shake it! Who cares? That doesn\’t mean you shouldn\’t be graduating from college.

It’s sickening, and I\’ve been reading so many people saying, \’Why are we surprised?\’ That’s what’s really sad: that we should somehow be used to being treated like animals. It’s gotten to the point where people feel like there’s no accountability: If you are law enforcement and you do something to a black person, you can get away with it.

I feel like when Public Enemy were doing \’Fight the Power,\’ we as a culture had more power — now it feels hopeless, Minaj says. People say, \’Why aren\’t black celebrities speaking out more?\’ But look what happened to Kanye when he spoke out. People told him to apologize to Bush! He was the unofficial spokesman for hip-hop, and he got torn apart. And now you haven\’t heard him speaking about these last couple things, and it’s sad. Because how many times can you be made to feel horrible for caring about your people before you say, \’Fuck it, it’s not worth it, let me live my life because I\’m rich, and why should I give a fuck?\’

Nicki Minaj s-a tinut de promisiune si a venit cu un album mult mai personal, chiar daca asta inseamna ca nu va avea hit dupa hit in Billboard. A renuntat la stilul foarte colorat si kitchos pe alocuri pentru un look mult mai natural, iar aceasta schimbare i-a adus si ocazia de a deveni imaginea noii colectii Roberto Cavalli.
