In a just-released Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>\u00a0feature, Nicki Minaj confirmed suspicions<\/a> that the baby alluded to in her song\u00a0All Things Go<\/em><\/a>\u00a0had been aborted. She told the magazine:<\/p>\n

I thought I was going to die…\u00a0I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through. [The abortion] haunted me all my life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In All Things Go<\/em><\/a>, Minaj describes the experience. She believes that her aborted son is her younger brother ‘Caiah’s “little angel”:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My child with Aaron, would’ve have been sixteen, any minute<\/em>
\n So in some ways I feel like ‘Caiah, is the both of them<\/em>
\n It’s like he’s ‘Caiah’s little angel, looking over him<\/em><\/p>\n

Minaj was in high school at the Manhattan performing arts high school LaGuardia when she became pregnant. The baby’s father was “an older guy from Queens”; Rolling Stone<\/em> doesn’t divulge anything further. “It’d be contradictory if I said I wasn’t pro-choice,” Minaj says. “I wasn’t ready. I didn’t have anything to offer a child.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
