14. Nicki’s Fiery Past

Nicki’s family history is shocking. When Nicki was a child, while she and her mother were inside, Nicki’s father (a troubled alcoholic and drug addict) set fire to their house. Nicki also revealed to her fans her guilt about getting an abortion. Nicki has since persevered. She raps, “It’s like I feel it in the air, I hear you saying mommy don’t cry/Can’t you see I’m right here I gotta let you know what you mean to me/When I’m sleeping I see you in my dreams with me/Wish I could touch your little face/Or just hold your little hand if it’s part of God’s plan, maybe we can meet again.”
