Nicki Minaj has stated her belief that she was the Queen of England in a former life.

The debatable brag came from the 'Super Hoe' star in a new interview with Wonderland magazine, the cover of which she adorns this months. Speaking to the UK magazine, Nicki says: "I was born in London in my past life, no-one can tell me different.

Adding to her backstory, Nicki says: "I probably was like a queen in London, I was probably the people's Queen that fought for lives… and I probably started off as a maid and then was just, like, really revolutionary and moved all my [Barbies] into the big Queen mansion."

Minaj was praised by Madonna, whom she will perform with at the 2012 Superbow, for her independence and spirit recently.
