Nicki Minaj is a singer, writer, rapper and all-round A-lister, but she's got her sights set on another role; she wants to be a mother. In an interview with Complex magazine, where she posed in a bra and thigh-slit skirt, she hinted she's really feeling the urge to have a baby soon.
The subject of kids came up when she was asked about her biggest fear, and replied: "That I'll become so consumed with work that I'll forget to live my personal life to the fullest. If I'm done with my fifth album and I don't have a child by then, no matter how much money I have, I would be disappointed, as a woman, because I feel like I was put here to be a mother."
The rapper is just about to release her third album, The Pinkprint, which gives an idea of the family timeline Minaj is mapping out for her future.
She continued: "I have definitely put off the wife thing because I don't want people in my business. I'd rather not do anything that's going to be on paper but I definitely will be married before I have my baby. I want to make sure I do it in that order. I've always felt like that since I was young; my mother always put that in my head.
"By the fifth album," she said, "I will have walked down the aisle and I will at least be on baby number one, possibly baby number two. [Laughs.] And have $500 million."
The interview revealed that Minaj is contractually obligated to put out six albums, but she hasn't decided what that means for her future family plans.
"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."
