She is one of the fiercest rappers around but Nicki Minaj’s strong public persona hides personal heartbreak.

The 31-year-old rapper’s mother Carol has claimed Nicki’s father Robert was a cocaine and alcohol addict who used to beat his children, including Nicki, and said Minaj used her tough upbringing to become the superstar she is today..See what she said below..

‘I was afraid, very afraid that something would happen to my mother.’

She added: ‘My mother left him many different time and came back. One time he pulled my mother out of a car and dragged her two blocks.’

Minaj grew up in Trinidad and Tobago where she lived with her grandparents and moved to New York when she was five.

She previously told Rolling Stone: ‘When I first came to America, I would go in my room and and kneel down at the foot of my bed and pray that god would make me rich so that I could take care of my mother.’

And while her dad would prefer she not speak out about his violent past, Nicki said: ‘It’s the price you pay when you abuse drugs and alcohol.

‘Maybe one day your daughter will be famous and talk to every magazine about it, so think about that, dads out there who want to be crazy.
