From Fantasy to Reality ¶
As a little girl, Nicki Minaj always dreamed of walking down the aisle with her dream gown and saying 'yes, I do' to the man of her dreams. However, she seems to have changed her mind, focusing more on what happens after tying the knot.
'Now it is more to me about life, the future, the love, the partnership than the wedding,' Nicki Minaj said in an interview.
Love in the Face of Criticism ¶
Despite the negative criticism from fans, Nicki Minaj has defended her lover, Kenneth Petty, who was convicted of attempted rape in 1995. She believes that true love is not about money or fame, and that Kenneth loved her before she had any wealth.
'When a person is with a nigga that loved them before they had a dime in their pocket? How do you not understand that? It is the truth; money can't buy me happiness and good sex,' Nicki Minaj said on Queen Radio.
Ready to Fight for Happiness ¶
Now that she has found happiness with Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj is ready to fight for it at whatever cost. She believes that marriage is not a bed of roses, but she is willing to face the challenges that come with it.
