Nicki has a complicated family life, only made more confusing by the many rumors about her online. Some say that Nicki has a twin, but is it true?

Nicki Minaj does not have a twin. She has a younger sister that looks a lot like her, and she invented her own evil twin alter-ego.

Nicki Minaj’s Almost-Twin

Nicki Minaj’s sister looks so much like her that fans were quick to call them “twins.” However, Nicki’s sister Ming is younger than Nicki, so the two are not technically twins. 

Nicki did not post about her little sister Ming until 2013. Fans were surprised to learn that Nicki had a little sister. 

Nicki seems to keep Ming out of the spotlight. She only posted about her twice – once in the post mentioned above in 2013, and a second time in early 2020. 

In 2020 Nicki shared a short video of Ming rapping along to “Moment for Life.” Once again, fans were quick to point out the physical similarities between Nicki and her sister.

Nicki’s Complicated Family Life

Nicki seems to be on good terms with Ming, but there have been complex issues with her other family members in the past. Fans were first made aware of these issues when Nicki opened up in interviews. 

Nicki discussed her abusive father in 2011, explaining that she and her siblings lived in fear that he would kill her mother. She said that he was a violent drug addict and was abusive both verbally and physically. 

However, in a 2012 interview she revealed that things improved and she was on good terms with her father. She said her father went to rehab and started going to church. 

Nicki’s father overcame his substance abuse and stopped being abusive. He still lives with Nicki’s mother.
