Nicki Minaj had to learn to "sleep alone" following her split from Safaree Samuels.
The ‘Bed of Lies’ hitmaker, who recently split from her boyfriend of 12 years, admits she is "a vulnerable woman" despite her tough image and worried about sharing her pain on her new album, ‘The Pinkprint’.
She said: "One of my goals was to give people a glimpse into my personal life, because it’s something I’ve kept very private."
But the 32-year-old star is proud of herself for being brave enough to share her heartbreak.
She told Rolling Stone magazine: "I had to learn to do something as simple as sleep alone. I struggled with ‘Do I express these feelings?’ And I decided there’s no reason for me to hide. I’m a vulnerable woman, and I’m proud of that."
Nicki recently branded her ex-boyfriend an "ungrateful evil soul" in a lengthy rant about the aspiring rapper on Twitter.
She added: "I gave and gave and gave. Threatening me? Blackmail? Jump.
"Let me be happy now. God."
The ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker is now looking for a partner that appreciates her.
She previously said: "I want someone to appreciate how hard I work."
