Nicki Minaj Reveals She Contemplated Suicide


Nicki Minaj looks fierce on the November cover of Cosmopolitan, donning a black leather dress and bright pink lips. The singer opens up about a very serious issue in the interview, revealing that at one point in her life, she contemplated suicide.

“I kept having doors slammed in my face,” Nicki tells Cosmo in the November issue. "I felt like nothing was working. I had moved out on my own, and here I was thinking I’d have to go home.”

She adds: “It was just one dead end after another. At one point, I was, like, ‘What would happen if I just didn’t wake up?’ That’s how I felt. Like maybe I should just take my life?’”

Now, Nicki is a household name and an international superstar, touching many with her music.

I'm not a fan of her music (outside of Super Bass and Your Love) but I really love how well she does her Black Barbie image.

I'm glad to hear she was able to pull out of such a dark place. Not everyone can escape that darkness.

I think, even if you life a relatively decent, happy life, most people have moments where they just don't want to bother anymore. I'm not trying to downplay serious depression or anything, but this doesn't seem like anything that only a handful of people would ever think about.

"what would happen if i just didn't wake up?" ugh, i can completely relate to that, that's basically how my suicidal urges would start out. i'd start thinking it would be nice if i just fell asleep and never woke up again, and that would lead to wishing i'd die in my sleep or get hit by a car or something, and then that lead to actively trying to kill myself. \: i'm glad that nicki's opening up and talking about it and that she seems to have overcome those issues, though. i'm not a huge fan of her radio stuff now (other than super bass) but i like her old mixtapes and i love her as a person.
