Before Nicki Minaj officially blew up, there were many times when she doubted herself as an artist. Fortunately, as she told us, the Young Money standout had her mother to help push her through and remind her that anything is possible.

Interestingly enough, the Queens native explained why it’s important for her mom to not know everything she does in the industry.

Meanwhile, Nicki is looking forward the release of her debut album, Pink Friday, which will be available on November 22nd.
