Budding rapper Ming Luanli appeared on the We In Miami podcast recently, where she got candid about her estranged relationship with older sister, Nicki Minaj.
Aside from speaking on topics like her own music career, inspirations, dating and more, the 18-year-old opened up about being bullied as a child over her connection to the music icon. She also shared that, although they share the same father and different mothers, they were “never close.”
“I’ve never called her Nicki, by her name, at all. Calling her Nicki always felt weird, I’ve always called her Onika, too,” she admitted. “But we was never close, but we had a good bond. She was always, like, busy. She be busy and stuff like that, I be doing my sh*t, too. But at the end of the day, I know that I still got love for her, she still got love for me, and I’mma still be proud of her.”
The New York native also recalled the moment people began to piece together that she was related to thee Nicki Minaj.
“In elementary, middle school, high school, the moment people knew who I was, it was either like they would ask me about my sister or ask me, like, just weird things that’s gonna make me feel uncomfortable,” she recalled. “At the time, I felt not only attacked, I felt vulnerable. I felt like I was by myself.”
Speaking on her desire to pursue music like Minaj, she admitted that her career choice brought on much hate and comparisons — with her peers questioning why her sister doesn’t help her out. However, despite it all, she did admit that she still strives to “impress” Minaj, although she knows she’ll “never be at the same level” as the Young Money vet.
