Nicki Minaj's Mom Shares Her Struggle With Cancer On 'God's Been Good'

Carol Maraj debuts her EDM-influenced gospel single after teasing it last month.

Early in March, Nicki Minaj's mother, Carol Maraj, teased a snippet of her contemporary gospel single "God's Been Good," and the full track has finally debuted.

The feel-good, EDM-influenced song finds Maraj singing about some difficult life experiences, and ultimately making it through to the other side with some help from the man above.

She opens the song by recounting a miraculous visit to her doctor and sharing something very personal. "With a strange look on his face, the doctor studied me, looking at the x-rays I could see he wasn't sure," Maraj sings. "Got something to tell you, Mrs. C this is such a mystery, just can't find the cancer anymore." She also goes on to sing about a near miss in a drive-by shooting.

Carol Maraj is currently signed to Fame Star Records/MDM Music Group and it looks like she's running in sync with her daughter. On Tuesday Nicki dropped the scathing new single "Chi-Raq" featuring Lil Herb. Although their musical content isn't comparable, a passion for the arts clearly runs in this family.

"With my daughter's career thriving, I started spending more time writing about my life," Maraj said of her new single.
