Nicki Minaj took to social media to share clips from her upcoming Queen documentary.
In one clip, Nicki opens up about witnessing domestic abuse growing up and experiencing it first-hand with an ex-boyfriend.
“I remember when my mother would let my father be violent with her,” she said. “As a little girl, I would stand in front of my mother.”
She elaborated a bit, saying those traumatic experiences helped shape her and that she made a pact to keep herself out of similar situations.
“That’s why maybe some people would describe me as abrasive or bitchy or whatever, because I vowed from that age, ‘No man would ever abuse me, call out my name, treat me like that,'” Nicki said. “And then all of a sudden, that was my life.”
In another clip, Nicki explained found herself in an abusive relationship and said that it kept her from working on her music.
“Who was I gonna inspire when I had nothing in me to give? I let one human being make me so low that I didn’t even remember who I was. I was scared to get in the studio because I didn’t believe in myself.”
She didn’t name drop anyone specifically, but Meek Mill took to Instagram shortly after and shared a quote about being with someone who will use you with the caption “lol.”
Take a look at the clips and Meek’s response below.
