Nicki Minaj goes by a multitude of stage names: 'Roman Zolanski,' 'Barbie,' 'Onika'--(her real name),--but there is one moniker the popular femcee could do without...

'Nicki Minaj.'

The rapper reveals that she hates her salacious last name and only hangs onto because the fans love it and it's become attached to her persona."I was always called Nicki at home so I was known as Nicki Maraj but my first producer did not like Maraj and thought Minaj sounded better. I still hate the name and I was going to go back to Maraj on the album but people told me no because my fans like it," she said.

Nicki claimed she started calling herself Minaj because she was "eating chicks" with her vicious rap skills.
