I`m a children freak: Nicki Minaj

Los Angeles: Singer Nicki Minaj says that she loves children and would love to have her own family in couple of years.

The 30-year-old is currently dating rapper Safaree `SB` Samuels. "In five years, perhaps, I`d like to have children. I love children - I`m a children freak. I`d like two, maybe three," Marie Claire magazine quoted Minaj as saying. Minaj, seen as a judge on reality show `American Idol`, is mostly in the news for her row with co-judge Mariah Carey as they say nasty things to each other. IANS
