Nicki Minaj, on the abortion she had as a teenager, her split with main squeeze Safaree, and her stand for girls wanting to be sexy with substance, all and more in a recent Rolling Stone interview. Paraphrasing her statement, Minaj said she's now a grown woman after releasing a video like "Anaconda."

Nicki Minaj talks abortion and other personal issues in the latest interview with Rolling Stone Magazine; the "Anaconda" singer practically wears her heart on her sleeve in the new album Pinkprint because she's proud of her emotions (usmagazine.com).

Minaj dishes out details on her boyfriend of seven years, Safaree Samuels, particularly on the album's emotional tracks "The Crying Game" and "Bed of Lies."

"One of my goals was to give people a glimpse into my personal life, because it's something I've kept very private, I had to learn to do something as simple as sleep alone," Minaj referred to her split with Samuels. "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."

One of Minaj and Samuels' spats were displayed on social media, on Twitter. Minaj said "Anything you don't appreciate will be taken. God sees your ungrateful evil soul. I gave and gave and gave. Threatening me? Blackmail?Jump."

Samuels responded "..and speaking to some1 about pub and splits isn't blackmail. stop looking for pity.. u handle your buisness why can't i? and it's not Bout fame it's about respect and you've had 0 for me the past few years.the 0 respect u had for me at home had nothing 2do w/music."

A hint of Nicki Minaj and abortion was also evident on her new album, the crisis of a decision she went through in her teenage years.

I thought I was going to die," the 32-year old singer confessed. "I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I'd ever gone through." Minaj decided to go through with the abortion, a decision she's still haunted with.

"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."(rollingstone.com)
