In the newest issue ofRolling Stonemagazine(out Jan. 2), Minaj addresses the new album, which gives an unprecedented look into her personal life–including hersplitfromSafaree Samuelsafter 11 years and her decision tohave an abortionas a teenager.
"One of my goals was to give people a glimpse into my personal life, because it's something I've kept very private," she tells the publication.
"I had to learn to do something as simple as sleep alone. I struggled with 'Do I express these feelings?' And I decided there's no reason for me tohide. I'm a vulnerable woman, and I'm proud of that."
One of the topics she decided to letthe world in on was theabortionshe had at a very young age.
"I thought I was going to die," she admits. "I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I'd ever gone through.
"She says the decision has"haunted me all my life," but she stillbelieves it was the right choice."It'd be contradictory if I said I wasn't pro-choice.
I wasn't ready," she admits. "I didn't have anythingto offer a child."
Minaj first rapped about the abortion on a mixtape track called"Autobiography," a song she says she "didn't expect anyone to hear." But 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 fu.cking thing," Minaj vents.
In fact, when it comes to her most talked about video of the year for"Anaconda,"which broke records, she says she doesn't care what anyone has to say about it.
"I'm a grown-ass fu.cking woman!" she says. "I stand for girls wanting to be se.xy 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."
