“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.”

Nicki Minaj also opened up about her split with Safaree Samuels after the two have been dating for 12 years.

“I had to learn to do something as simple as sleep alone,” she said. “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.”

Nicki new album The PinkPrint released on December 15. On that project she opened up about a lot of personal subjects including heartbreak and torture.
