Nicki Minaj Opens Up On Heartache Of Teenage Abortion

Decision to terminate pregnancy has 'haunted' rapper all her life...

Nicki Minaj has opened up about having an abortion as a teenager.

Speaking about her decision in an interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper said: “I thought I was going to die.”

[related]“I was a teenager,” she explained. “It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through.”

Minaj, 32, fell pregnant while still at high school and said that while she “wasn’t ready” to have a baby, her decision to have an abortion has “haunted me all my life”.

"It'd be contradictory if I said I wasn't pro-choice," she said before adding: "I wasn't ready. I didn't have anything to offer a child."

The Super Bass rapper has spoken about the termination previously – first on her mixtape song Autobiography, and later on her single All Things Go.
