Rapper Nicki Minaj is convinced she was a British royal in a past life.

The Super Bass hitmaker admits she always feels special when she visits London - because she once ruled the city.

She tells Wonderland magazine, "I was born in London in my past life, no one can tell me any different. I probably was like a Queen in London, I was probably the people's queen that fought for lives.

"I probably started off as a maid and then was just, like, really revolutionary." (KL/WNWC/MT)
