“SNL just gave me yet another #moment4life | S/O to the entire staff 4 being INCREDIBLE ; and Thank you all for tuning in! xoxo” Nicki tweeted after the show.

For someone who has been getting lots of press over the last couple of years, Nicki Minaj hasn't really revealed a lot about her personal life.

Of course we've known that the 26-year old was born in Trinidad and Tobago, moved to the U.S. at age 5 and had a father who was an abusive drinker. But in a new interview with the UK Sun the Young Money rapper really opens up about what life was like for her, her brother and mother living with a man as abusive as her dad and how that affected her.

"All of my young and teenage early years we lived in fear that my mother would be killed by my father. It was ridiculous. It made me act out to guys and be evil to them when I was growing up," Nicki said. "It made me tough. Of course it did. I am an emotional person, but I am a tough person. It was very tough emotionally for me to have a parent who was an alcoholic and a drug addict. I had a mom with no money."

Living in that environment has shaped Nicki into the woman she is today. Wildly successful and strong, yet slightly vulnerable at the same time.

"We didn't really have many options. When you don't have options you feel helpless. And I think that is the worst feeling. My father was violent - physically and verbally. Once my older brother grew up he became the man of the house and started standing up to my father. That was the only time we had peace in my home, when we knew there was another male figure in the house and he could protect us," Nicki explains. "I will cry about something but I never let anything stop me. I can't be like my mom. I know I can cut ties and still make it. She didn't cut ties when I felt like she should have done. That's been my whole thing. I've been able to say, 'This isn't working any more. You need to get out of my life'. I keep it moving and it has worked."

It definitely has worked out fine

Comment by kcrunchone on January 30, 2011 at 9:51pm: She is having her moment and time to shine, I finally listened to a couple of the songs and she is pretty good. Let her do her and get the money, like I said she is going to go to acting I would expect. She has a certain attraction power and I am not talking about her body. I mean her personality

Comment by Psycho on January 30, 2011 at 6:24pm: @ DJ KID....thank u....every artist has they moment & this is hers. It shouldn't b personal to anyone what she does and how she does it.....she's an entertainer, so just focus on the music and let her have her time. I didnt hear none of yall "shittin" on Lady Gaga when she came out with her so call "crazy" style. Why do we do it to our own people????????

Comment by kcrunchone on January 30, 2011 at 4:08am: To be honest I was not feeling her in the beginning and that was not hating because I love th fact aht she is getting paid she is from my neck of the woods. Get that money love do you. If people call it fake then actors are the best fakes, she seems to me like She might be Hollywood bound she is a good actor, with lessons she might do well who knows.

Comment by Malcolm X on January 29, 2011 at 4:06pm: She's signed with Lil Wayne's Young Money label. It seems like the more you hate them the richer they get. Would somebody please start hating on me.

Comment by DJ Bravo on January 29, 2011 at 12:12pm: It is funny how people say they are not hating but they are hating; If you don't like her, that is fine but damn you would swear that Nicki did something personal to these haters. She is just making music and it is selling; she is all over the TV and Radio. I agree that her persona is a little out there but I am not judging her on that, just like I don't judge Michael Jackson or Lady Gaga on their weird ways. What I like is her music; not all of it but most of it; Moment for life is a big hit and most artist come out hot and end up Tired and worn out; everyone has their time and right now is Nicki's time.

Comment by mary on January 29, 2011 at 10:39am: I AM NOT A HATER IF I WAS GOING TO HATE ON ANYBODY IT WOULDNT BE HER FIRST OF ALL SHE IS A FAKE AND SHE IS A AIRHEAD HER MUSIC DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO ME .SHE LOOKS LIKE A F***** CLOWN TO ME .HER ASS WILL BE TIRED AND WORN OUT SOON AND SOMEBODY ELSE WILL COME AND STEAL HER SPOTLIGHT.
