Nicki's Multiple Personalities

In an interview she stated, “to get away from all their fighting (her parents), I would imagine being a new person. "Cookie" was my first identity—that stayed with me for a while. I went on to "Harajuku Barbie", then "Nicki Minaj". Fantasy was my reality.”
She created another alter-ego named "Roman Zolanski".and claims that Roman is her "twin sister". Roman also has a "mother", "Martha Zolanski." who has a British accent. In November 2010 Nicki assumed a different alter-ego named "Nicki Teresa", as in Mother Teresa.
