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.

Ive worked with kids who grew up being sexually abused by their parents and have tried to commit suicide.Theyre not 'cowards' their in pain and dont know how to deal with it.Thats goes fro almost anyone whos tried to kill themself because they didnt know how to deal with their issues.

My aunt is a social worker part time and has the worst attitude toward mental health, she just doesn't get it, it makes me rage. It also makes me nervous.

One of my girls cuts all the time and I discourage attention seeking and manipulative behavior like that. But as a whole, I dont compare kids and adults that are suicidal, I do not hold children as accountable for their actions.

I dont call her manipulative but she basically tells me that what she does is a cry for help (to sum it up). So I try and reinforce that their are other ways she can receive positive rather than negative attention. The problem is that getting noticed for doing stupid things is much easier than gaining recognition in a positive way. Especially when you live in a group home.
