What does Nicki Minaj’s mother Carol Maraj do for a living?
Carol Maraj, her mother, is also a gospel singer of Afro-Trinidadian descent. Carol worked in the payroll and accounting departments when Minaj was younger. Minaj’s father was an alcoholic and crack cocaine user with a violent temper who burned down their home in December 1987. She has a younger brother named Micaiah, an elder brother named Jelani, and a younger sister named Ming.
Carol’s life has not always been easy. Her marriage to her husband Robert endured upheaval after he began consuming drugs and living a reckless life. Cara, afraid for the safety of her children, moved out with them, claiming that the most important thing in her life at the time was to keep Nicki and her younger brother safe.
When they relocated to Jamaica, Lil Wayne found Nicki’s potential and wanted to sign her to his company. Carol prayed and blessed Nicki as she was leaving, and they were blown away by Nicki’s sudden musical success.
