Rolling Stone sure has been digging deep into celebrity psyches these days, hasn’t it?

Tomorrow’s issue of the music mag features “Nicki Minaj: The New Queen of Hip-Hop,” an article that, from the very beginning (well, based on the online excerpt) starts trying to unravel the mystery that is Minaj’s crankiness.

Mystery, because she’s so successful right now, people can’t fathom why she might not be in the best of spirits all the time.

People used to tell me, ‘What is wrong with you? You’ll just sit there and think and get yourself depressed.’ I’ve always been a thinker. – Nicki Minaj

Throughout the article, Minaj talks about growing up with her father’s past abusive ways and his alcoholism and drug abuse, her not-so-great relationship with fellow rapper Lil’ Kim, where her ambition comes from, and the tough job of keeping a handle on who she is.

Hmm… Sounds like it’d be an interesting read.

Rolling Stone‘s December 9th issues is already on stands, but you can check out the three-page excerpt online.
