Nicki Minaj says she almost died last week...and blames TMZ

During her acceptance speech for Best Female Rapper at the BET Awards on Sunday night, Nicki Minaj revealed she almost died last week but she was afraid to call an ambulance because she didn't want it to end up on TMZ. Nicki made the shocking admission on stage, explaining;

"The other day, literally I didn't tell anybody this, I really thought I was about to die. Like, I was saying my prayers to die. And I didn't even want to call the ambulance because I thought, 'Well if I call the ambulance, it's going to be on TMZ.'

"I would rather sit there and die. And it made me realize I don't care what anybody got to say. I'm going to do me."

You don't care what people say, but you would rather die at home than call an ambulance so no one sells the tape to TMZ? Wow!!! Meanwhile MTO claims the problem that nearly killed Nicki was 'weed overdose'.
