Nicki Minaj has shared two clips from her forthcoming Apple Music documentary, 'Queen'. The film was reportedly made during the recording process of Minaj's 2018 album of the same name. In anticipation of the release of the documentary film, Minaj shared the clips on her Instagram on Tuesday, which sees the 'Chun Li' singer discussing two abusive relationships from her past.

In the first clip, Minaj recalls trouble in her parent's marriage. "I remember when my mother would let my father be violent with her," she says in the clip. "And she always brings up this story, as a little girl I would stand in front of my mother and go like this," she says, spreading her arms out wide.

"Maybe some people would describe me as abrasive or bitchy or whatever, because I vowed from that age no man would ever abuse me, call me out my name, treat me like that, and all of a sudden that was my life," she added.
