8. Nicki’s Song The Boys Was Inspired By Her Personal Life
The content for her song The Boys was inspired by the fact that Minaj witnessed her father abusing her mother physically and verbally. Nicki’s father was an alcoholic and even attempted to burn the family house down, which was part of the reason Nicki went to live with her grandmother when she was a small child. The song talks about a guy who is so consumed with material things that he leaves the woman he loves damaged. The woman then takes her revenge. Minaj always wanted to help her mother feel empowered, and felt that her success as a musician could help her mom live the life she truly deserves.
