Onika Tanya Maraj, popularly known as Nicki Minaj, was born in Trinidad and Tobago on December 08, 1982. While Nicki has been quite open about her relationship with her mother and the struggles she had to endure to give a life of luxury to her and her siblings, there’s not much about her father.

Sources suggest that Nicki’s father was not only abusive but extremely short-tempered. When Nicki was five years old, her father got so angry at everyone due to his drinking issues that he burnt their house down.

However, Nicki’s mother decided to prioritize the safety and well-being of her children and while she relocated to New York to attend Monroe College, Nicki and her siblings were raised by her grandmother. By the time Nicki turned five, her mother relocated all her children to New York, which is where she spent the remainder of her childhood.
