Nicki Minaj Breaks Silence On Her Dad’s Death

A few days ago, the Queens native admitted in an open message her father’s death was the most devastating loss of her life and often felt the urge to call him.

“Tho I can’t really bring myself to discuss the passing of my father as yet; I can say it has been the most devastating loss of my life. I find myself wanting to call him all the time. More so now that he’s gone. Life is funny that way. May his soul rest in paradise. He was very loved & will be very missed.”

Nicki Minaj’s Mother Files $150M Lawsuit

Nicki’s mom Carol Maraj is reportedly suing Charles Polevich, 70, for hitting Robert Maraj, 64, with his car and then driving off. She’s reportedly seeking $150 million from Polevich, who was arrested on February 17 on charges of leaving the scene of an incident and tampering with physical evidence. He’s since been freed on bail and is required to stay in New York state.

The rapper Nicki Minaj’s mother, Carol Maraj, has filed a $150m lawsuit against the man accused of killing Minaj’s father in a hit-and-run crash last month, an attorney for Maraj said. Charles Polevich, 70, is accused of striking Robert Maraj, 64, on Long Island on 12 February and driving off without calling 911. Maraj died at a hospital the next day. (The Guardian)

The legal team for Polevich has since come forward to speak out on the suit.

Polevich’s attorney, Marc Craig Gann, tells TMZ… “My client empathizes with the family. The question of whether there was negligence and degrees of negligence will be determined by the court. The $150 million amount seems to be over the top.” (TMZ)

She Grew Up Wanting To Get Away From Her Father

Nicki Minaj is still dealing with family tragedy. Her father was killed on Feb. 12 by Polevich and while she hasn’t commented publicly on her father’s death, details have resurfaced about their complex relationship.

In older interviews, Minaj revealed that she prayed to be rich as a kid so she could get her mother away from her abusive father. Nicki has also told the story about her father setting the family’s house on fire.

“All of my young and teenage early years we lived in fear that my mother would be killed by my father. It was ridiculous. It was very tough emotionally for me to have a parent who was an alcoholic and a drug addict. … My father was violent — physically and verbally.” (Huffington Post)
