Nicki and Ricky Hit 'GMA'

Nicki, who was born in the island nation of Trinidad & Tobago, lost an uncle to AIDS. "It's important for people from the islands to understand that it's not something that should only be discussed in America," the singer told anchor Robin Roberts. "This is something that is killing a lot of young black women, so, for me, that's why it hits home." (2/15/2012)
