On Monday (May 17), the 38-year-old rapper opened up about her criminal past and decided to post a photo of her old mugshot.
In the now-deleted post, the "Fractions" rapstress celebrated her growth and success over the years, by highlighting where she came from.
The post was quickly picked up by several blogs and reposted on Twitter.
Nicki captioned the post: “It took me years to be able to look at things like this,” she wrote in the since-deleted caption.
She continued “Criminal possession with the intent to use. I did use it tho. This is so inspiring to look back. The girl was leaking blood and spent days in the hospital. The word on the street was that I was gonna b deported. I was so scared. LOL. I was ‘on the run’".
The star added" I rlly thought I was in a ghetto movie. I hid my car and went to stay with my Aunt in Brooklyn chile. Bwahahahaaaa. #Growth.”
The caption was beside two mugshots of a Nicki Minaj - real name Onika Maraj - at 20-years-old.
