Nicki Minaj recently made headlines for addressing her sister, Ming Li, in a public tirade during a chat with her fans. The rapper questioned why a family member would speak openly about their private relationship, emphasizing the importance of maintaining privacy. Despite the apparent criticism, Ming expressed her love for her sister and acknowledged the need to prioritize her own path.
Ming, 18, revealed in a podcast that she faced scrutiny for not receiving certain favors from Nicki, leading to bullying. She emphasized her independence and the importance of proving herself without relying on her sister's assistance. Ming clarified that while they were not particularly close due to Nicki's busy schedule, their relationship was characterized by typical sibling disagreements.
However, Ming highlighted Nicki's role as a caring sister who checked in on her and their father periodically, ensuring their well-being. She expressed no animosity towards Nicki, emphasizing their familial bond despite any conflicts. Nicki, who has three other siblings, has faced family challenges, including her brother Jelani's legal issues.
In 2020, Jelani Maraj was sentenced to 25 years to life for criminal charges. Despite these personal struggles, Nicki and Ming's relationship reflects a mix of sibling dynamics, with both acknowledging the complexities of family ties and the importance of individual growth.
