"The average person wouldn't be able to deal with it, my level of ridicule," Minaj says.
According to the "Barbie Dreams" rapper, "Most people mentally aren't strong enough to handle this pressure."
"I've got to get married first then I'll have a child," Minaj tells the magazine. "I might be closer than people think, actually."
"I love children," the hip-hop superstar admits. "I'm not going to put that off for much longer."
"When I was first trying to rap," Minaj recalls, "female rappers weren't out here getting paid a million dollars a show."
Minaj boasts, "I've been at the top of this totem pole for a very long time."
"Sometimes people just want to see someone who's been at the top fall, just to see if it can happen," the rapper offers. "It's a sadistic part of being a human."
