Nicki Minaj’s leaked track "All Things Go" off her upcoming album The Pinkprint focuses on her family and career, but it also includes a major revelation: She almost had a child with an ex-boyfriend 16 years ago.
Nicki, who would have been around 15 years old at the time of the alleged pregnancy, drops the bombshell in a verse that focuses on her dreams for younger brother, Micaiah "Caiah" Maraj.
"I want Caiah to go to college, just to say we did it," she rhymes. "My child with Aaron would have been 16 any minute / so in some ways I feel like Caiah is the both of them / It's like he's Caiah's little angel, looking over him."

The song details Minaj’s struggles to balance her family obligations in the face of fame, but she expresses optimism about having children in the future.
"Life is a movie / but there’ll never be a sequel / and I’m good with that / as long as I’m peaceful / as long as seven years from now / I’m taking my daughter to preschool," she raps.
