I was Queen in Past Life: Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj has claimed that she was born in London and was royal in her past life.

In an interview with Wonderland Magazine, the rapper has confessed her love for the city, stating: "I was born in London in my past life, no one can tell me different.

"I probably was like a queen in London, I was probably the people's queen that fought for lives... and I probably started off as a maid and then was just, like, really revolutionary and moved all my [Barbies] into the big queen mansion," MTV quoted her as saying.

She also explained that there are two different people, when queried on the difference between her stage persona and her real life.

She stated: "Obviously what I would wear at home is not what I would wear up on stage and I think, when I'm at home it's a way more introspective character and I think the person people see on stage is anything but, I watch a lot of Judge Judy.

"And I cook - I cook spaghetti really, really good; I cook macaroni and cheese really, really good; I cook chicken really, really good," she added.

Minaj also said that she has a great obsession for Barbie dolls and feels Barbie is great because it focuses on beauty as well as work.

"And they come in different shades, which I love, and different hairstyles. So I think that they've gotten to the point where they're making girls feel like it's OK not to look like or be like the traditional Barbie," she said.

She joined Madonna in singing "Give Me All You Luvin'" for the superbowl halftime show, on Feb. 5, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Minaj is set to release her new album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' on April 3.
