In one verse, the former American Idol judge raps about her 'child' who would have been the same age as her younger brother Micaiah, 16.
'I want Caiah to go to college just to say we did it/ My child with Aaron, would've have been 16 any minute/ So in some ways I feel like Caiah is the both of them/ It's like he's Cai's little angel looking over him,' she sings.
Nicki would have been around 15 at the time of the apparent pregnancy, but she doesn't divulge who Aaron is.

Nicki, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago, goes on to reference her difficult relationship with her mother Carol.

She also reveals her family struggles since the death of her cousin Nicholas Telemaque, who was shot in July 2011 in Brooklyn.
'I lost my little cousin to a senseless act of violence/ His sister said he wanted to stay with me but I didn't invite him/ Why didn't he ask?
'Or am I just buggin'?/ 'Cause since I got fame, they don't act the same even though that they know that I love them.'

Nicki recently revealed that her new album is her most personal to date, and will talk about 'My family, loss, death, guilt... I’ve struggled with a lot of guilt.'
She told Complex magazine: 'When you’re working and you’re busy and you’re successful, no matter what, something suffers, whether it’s your relationship with your mother, your relationship with your whole family, not being able to go to your brother’s graduation... Certain things suffer and take the back burner,'
On her recent single Anaconda, Nicki revealed: 'I wanted to create a song that embraced curvy women. I wanted to be sexual but be playful with it.'

'After the fifth, I’ll probably have my baby. I wonder if I’m going to be one of those women who balances my child with a career.'
'I always said, "When I have my baby, it’s going to be all about my baby."'
'I don’t want the child feeling like they don’t have all of my attention, so I always said, "I’m going to take a little break." But we’ll see.'
