Nicki Minaj Requires Lovers to Sex Her to Completion

Minaj also opened up about her split from longtime boyfriend Safaree Samuels, which inspired parts of her album The Pinkprint:

“I didn’t [set out] to write a personal album, but The Pinkprint came at a very crucial time in my life. I realized that people can up and take off at any given moment. As women, we are vulnerable and emotional, and that’s OK. I had to learn quickly that if you don’t have a sense of self, you can be destroyed by a man. You can be destroyed by a relationship. I had to ask myself, ‘Who am I? Is this good enough?’ I had to approve of myself and my skills.”
