\n\u201cI always have hope to keep going, and that\u2019s what I always try to tell these women. That it\u2019s not over.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nNicki \u2013 born Onika Tanya Maraj \u2013 grew up with her grandmother in a household with 11 cousins while her gospel singer mum worked several payroll and accounting jobs before getting her green card and moving to the US aged 24, after which she brought over Nicki and her younger brother Jelani. <\/p>\n
