The 28-year-old rapper said that it seemed like everything was working against her, and she would never catch a break.
'I kept having doors slammed on my face,' she explained to Cosmopolitan. 'I felt like nothing was working. I had moved out on my own, and here I was thinking I'd have to go home. It was one dead end after another. At one point, I was, like, 'What would happen if I just didn't wake up?' That's how I felt. Like maybe I should just take my life?'
But now that her career is going from strength to strength, she added that she has great plans for the future.
'I will have put out five albums and will have an Oscar and Grammys,' she predicted. 'And I will be getting married and, a couple of years after that will have a bun in the oven... My whole life is about being Nicki Minaj now. It's a never-ending saga.'
