Nicki Minaj has come out with a new single.
But instead of fans focusing on the beats of “All Things Go,” many have honed in on the track’s lyrics, most notably a passage that seems to imply Minaj either suffered a miscarriage or had an abortion 16 years ago.
Referencing younger brother Micaiah, Minaj raps at one point:
“I want Caiah to go to college just to say we did it/My child with Aaron, would’ve have been sixteen any minute/So in some ways I feel like Caiah is the both of them/It’s like he’s Cai’s little angel looking over him.”
The 31-year old also makes it clear that she was once engaged. Or at least that someone once asked for her hand in marriage.
“Ten years ago, that’s when you proposed/I look down, yes I suppose,” Nicki raps.
In 2008, Minaj admitted to feeling guilt about having had an abortion in the single “Autobiography.” She was around 15 at the time she ended her pregnancy.
Earlier this year, rumors of Nicki Minaj being pregnant (courtesy of Lil Wayne) circulated around the Internet, but they were never true, of course.
Minaj often shares pictures of her nipples, but rarely opens up about her personal life.
As a result, fans who have listed to “All Things Go” have been expressing their support for the artist over Twitter.
“The fact that we know how private of a person you are. To have u give us something like All Things Go. Wow I love u,” wrote one fan, while another added:
“respect & appreciate @NICKIMINAJ for being as candid & vulnerable as she is on ‘all things go.'”
