Nicki Minaj Addresses Rutgers Suicide

The number of gay youth suicides is unfortunately increasing each day, and Nicki Minaj has offered some words of wisdom for her fans.

The “Your Love” singer told MTV News, "I would encourage my gay fans to be fighters and to be brave."

She continued, "People face difficulties, no matter who you are. I faced difficulties with a lot of things. I face opposition every day, but I didn't kill myself and now, thank God, I'm here. So I want my life to be a testimony to my fans and my gay fans.”

"I mean I could never imagine what they're going through," Nicki added. "But I know that suicide is never the answer and I know that things always get better. So I'm supporting you guys. I love you very, very much and for the people who don't love you, they need help."
