In case you missed it, Nicki Minaj recently sat down to chat it up with Juju Chang on ABC’s Nightline.

In  a seven minute cut, the Trinidadian-born rap star dished on appealing to young fans, loving to use the “F-bomb,” her father’s abusive past, being compared to Lady Gaga and her infamous nipplegate scandal on “Good Morning America.”

On her father:

“My father was abusive. We were afraid for [my mother's] life because whenever he would have a real bad outburst, he would threaten to kill her,” Nicki Minaj said about her childhood.

On her “Good Morning America”nip slip:

“I’m so sorry about that. People are ridiculous if they think I would use that as a stunt. I would never, ever, ever—swear to God—do something like that on purpose. That’s ridiculous. I would never do that.”

On appealing to young fans:

“I don’t want to offend moms or children, like when they come and pay their money to see a show,” she said. “But I didn’t come in the game to be an artist that appealed to kids either—and I’m a crazy lunatic. We have a running joke. Can Sophia Grace sing that?”

Good to see that Nicki rose above her troubled childhood to become someone great.
