Nicki Minaj has opened up on why she loves the colour pink so much.

The 'Stupid Hoe' singer is rarely seen without the colour on her - and speaking to the Sun, Minaj said that it all probably stems back to her childhood.

She said that her upbringing was quite tight financially, and as she shared a room with her brother, she often looked upon other girls' bedrooms with envy.

She added that she dreamed of having her own room - bathed in pink, of course. She said:

"When I was younger I didn't have much financially, like we couldn't afford a lot of stuff and I remember seeing little girls' rooms on TV and they'd all be pink. I didn't have my own room, I shared with my brother, so I would have this daydream and imagine that one day I could have my own room and it would all be pink, like Cinderella's. So I guess pink takes me back to that time and it just feels euphoric when I wear it. I love it."

Minaj meanwhile in the same interview gave the journalist an earful after she called her new album, 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded', "pop".
