Lil Kim’s voodoo doll sat down with MTV to give a quick interview on the oft-talked about ending for her music video “Your Love”

“I just felt like that was the most emotional and truthful storyline,” Minaj explained. “I felt like mostly everyone would normally make themselves win in the end. I wanted to show that the only way I could be beat is if you cheat. If you cheat! If you play fair and square, I’m gonna win. It’s my little way of looking at it. Also, I felt it was almost heart-wrenching to see it. I made myself this nice girl in the video and you bond with the character, you know what I mean? You know what I mean. You see her die. I wanted people to talk about it in the end. ‘Why did she make that decision?’ I wanted them to cry.”

I always thought Nicki was the result from which a young girl from the hood is made to sit in a dark room surrounded by Cabbage Patch Dolls and Lisa Frank notebooks with a television playing PBS’ “Masterpiece Theatre” hours on end.  And it looks like I was right.
