Nicki Minaj seems to hold on to the value of marriage first before starting a family.

While the 31-year-old singer doesn't seem shy in showing off her sultry sexuality in videos, she still doesn't want to bear a child out of marriage.

An interview with Complex saw the rapper quip in a matter-of-fact tone: "I definitely will be married before I have my baby."

But Minaj is definitely excited at the prospect of motherhood.

Minaj noted that she finds it rather disappointing if she's still not a mother by the time her fifth album is out.

She said that she would still be disappointed, no matter how money she has because "as a woman... I feel like I was put here to be a mother."

"I have definitely put off the wife thing because I don't want people in my business," she explained.

Minaj also explained why she wanted to get married first before she has babies.

She "want(s) to make sure I do it in that order."

"I've always felt like that since I was young; my mother always put that in my head," she continued.

So expect Minaj to " have walked down the aisle," by the time album No. 5 is out. Also look out because there'll definitely be "at least be on baby number one, possibly baby number two."

Minaj did not, however, say something about a potential daddy.

She, nevertheless, made references to her ex, Safaree Samuels, on her new single "Bed of Lies."

She also spoke about how her relationships with her family took a toll because of her fame.

"A lot of people, when they're chasing their dreams, they have to leave people they love," she said.

"A lot of artists feel that guilt but they don't express it."

Her third album, The Pinkprint,  is due for release Dec. 15.
