The conversation took place shortly after the birth of her son during the COVID-19 pandemic. Minaj, initially hesitant to answer the phone while caring for her baby, felt compelled to pick up her father’s call. During the call, her father expressed his excitement and eagerness to visit her in California to meet his grandson and offer his help. Describing her father as a lively presence who brought joy to the household, Minaj recalled how happy he sounded about the planned visit.
Tragically, later that night, Minaj received another call, this time from her mother, Carol Maraj, informing her of the accident. Her father was hit by a car in a hit-and-run and later succumbed to his injuries. Reflecting on the sudden turn of events, Minaj expressed her disbelief, especially given how happy and hopeful her father was during their last conversation.
Minaj highlighted the importance of this conversation in her music, particularly in the first song of her album “Pink Friday,” where she addresses her father directly. The track serves as a poignant tribute, capturing the emotions from learning about the accident to his untimely passing. In her lyrics, Minaj regrets that her father never had the chance to meet his grandson, a moment she had eagerly anticipated.
This touching and deeply personal story reveals a different side of the artist, showcasing her vulnerability and the profound impact of her father’s death on her life and music.
