Nicki Minaj's father is upset with her!

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (NOVEMBER 29, 2010) (HOLLYWOODTV) -Nicki Minaj's father is completely torn up over the rapper's comments that she wanted to "kill" him when she was a child, and now, he wants the world to know he's not some violent monster like he was portrayed by his daughter. Minaj, in her recent "Nightline" interview, went off on her dad Omar, describing the guy as a drug addict and alcoholic who often threatened to kill her mother, and once even burning their house. Minaj said, "I wanted to kill my dad. I use to wish he was dead. We were afraid for my mother's life because whenever he would have a real bad outburst he would threaten to kill her." But family sources say Nicki's anecdotes are grossly exaggerated Omar admits he had anger issues when she was a child, but insists it never reached the point Nicki described in her interview. Sources also say, Omar never knew Nicki felt this way about him and he's absolutely crushed she decided to air her grievances in the media. Omar still says he loves Nicki very much and always has no matter what.
