Nicki Minaj used her Memorial Day weekend to enlighten the rest of us about the concept of self-worth. In a Tweet posted on Saturday, the rapper wrote, “#Queen, know your worth. I’ve been proposed to 3 times; asked by 4 boyfriends to have their child. Being emotionally, mentally, or physically abused just to crack a fake smile on the gram & show off a ring is not happiness. Being cheated on, humiliated, belittled… for the gram?”

It didn’t end there, though. Minaj followed that Tweet up with a couple more:
#Queen, know your worth. You were a Queen before him. You’ll be a Queen after him. He can’t make or break you. Being equally yoked is what you should strive for. Spirituality is key. Once your spirit can soar on its own, then you are ready to “allow” him the privilege of ur time.

Having men treat you like dog shit because they’re famous or have money is the new era we live in. Word to the gram. Arguing w|other women while defending your abuser is the new era. Word to the gram. #Queen 8|10|18

New boy asked if I could have his baby in a year & a half. On God I said: “ain’t pushin out his babies til he buy da rock”. Then I busted out laughing. He said: “I’ll put a ring on it. I’ll do anything it takes”. Yet all I could think of his how much I love my new found freedom.

Minaj’s stream of tweets comes just a couple months before she’s set to release her new album, rightly titled Queen, on August 10. The album was originally set to be released in June, but is now slated to come out in August. The artist announced the push-back date on Instagram live, saying, “The album itself I think I want to put out on August 10. I want to put out my second single, which I’m really, really excited about, and I want to now start an official countdown.”
And perhaps not-so coincidentally, Minaj’s tweets come shortly after rumors surfaced that she is dating rapper Eminem. In her song, “Big Bank”, Minaj raps, “Told them I met Slim Shady, bag the Em/ Once he go black, he’ll be back again.” Asked by a fan on social media if she was telling the truth and dating Eminem, she said, “Yes.” It seems, however, that she may have been pulling our leg. During a concert in Boston on Sunday, Eminem asked the audience, “Boston, how many of you want me to date Nicki Minaj?” Naturally, they cheered loudly.
