She just keeps getting more prolific and Nicki Minaj<\/a> is on the cover of the latest issue of BlackBook<\/a> magazine.<\/p>\n

The Pink Friday rapper explained that while things are great for her now, she almost gave up on her dream of being a rock star.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no money, I had no one to call, and I was out on my own. I also had the burden of not wanting to tell my mother that I was out of a job, and could I come back home? Besides faith in God, the only thing that got me through that time was the fear of what would happen to my family if I didn\u2019t make it. I remember thinking, I don\u2019t know if this is ever going work but I\u2019m going to give it one final try.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the comparisons to Lady GaGa, Nicki shared, \u201cWe both do the awkward, non-pretty thing. What we\u2019re saying – what I\u2019m saying, anyway – is that it\u2019s okay to be weird. And maybe your weird is my normal. Who\u2019s to say? I think it\u2019s an attitude we both share.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to guys, \u201cI\u2019m not the type to be talking to a random dude in the club. Unless I know him, I don\u2019t even want to be introduced to him, because it always turns into me being perceived as the ultimate whore-bag. I remember one time I saw a guy, someone famous, who was at one of my parties. I kissed him on the cheek and went to my seat, and they put up a story that me and him left together that night and went to a hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n
