Nicki Minaj got fired from a job once

Los Angeles - Nicki Minaj was fired as a waitress after she chased a customer down the street for stealing her pen.

The Anaconda hitmaker, 31, admits, before she became famous, she was sacked from the restaurant The Red Lobster after she followed a couple into the car park and swore at them for pinching her biro.

Asked whether it was a special pen they'd snatched, Nicki told the November issue of GQ magazine: "No. It was the
principle."

Check out these snaps from the GQ shoot shared by Minaj on Instagram:

The curvaceous singer was also briefly a customer service representative for a company in New York, but that didn't really work out for her either as she didn't like the attitude she received from some people.

She explained: "I like dealing with people, but I don't really like a lot of bullshit, so maybe customer service wasn't the best job for me."

Meanwhile, despite her ongoing success in the music industry, the brunette beauty, who has been dating her boyfriend Safaree Samuels for nine years, is planning to put her career on hold in the near future in order to get married and start a family.

She said previously: "I don't want to work my whole life without ever experiencing the joys of a family. The time is not yet ripe, but when I decide to get married and become a mother, I would like to take a hiatus and dedicate myself completely to my child."
