Nicki Minaj’s father is troubled over her claims that he was abusive, said TMZ.com. Minaj, 29, laid into her father in an interview last week, claiming he sold the family furniture to buy crack, burned down their home, and threatened her mother. “I wanted to kill him,” said the rapper. Friends called the accusations “exaggerated,” and said Omar Maraj was hurt by his daughter’s words.
