"It took me years to be able to look at things like this," Nicki wrote in the caption of the now-deleted post which featured two mugshots of a 20-year-old Nicki under her government name, Onika Maraj. "Criminal possession with the intent to use. I did use it tho. This is so inspiring to look back."
She went on recalling, "The girl was leaking blood and spent days in the hospital. The word on the street was that I was gonna b deported. I was so scared. LOL. I was 'on the run.' I rlly thought I was in a ghetto movie. I hid my car and went to stay with my Aunt in Brooklyn chile. Bwahahahaaaa. #Growth."
In response to the post, fans were not impressed. "Why would she post about shooting someone and them bleeding out...then lol that's not growth," one user questioned. Another person asked, "Why she tryna show she hood all of a sudden," while someone accused her of "trying for attention lately."
"This is embarrassing which is why she deleted it. Shes nearly 40. Who still boasts about things they did in their teens or 20's. Embarrassing," another person added. "I love her but baby this ain't it. We want you to keep posting music and we will be happy," someone commented.
A comment, meanwhile, read, "Why she bragging about having a girl leaking.... she act like a teenager . I definitely believe she's been threatening her husband's victim now." The person is referring to the allegations that Nicki and her associates harassed an alleged victim of of Nicki's husband Kenneth Petty, who was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender.
