According to hiphopdx.com, Nicki Minaj threw a massive birthday party for her son Papa Bear, showcasing the Minions party she set up for her son on Instagram, who recently turned two on September 30th.
The post read, “Next. Level. So grateful to Edgar & his team, B4 I post pics wanted to show you guys the overall world. So beautiful. Ice cream machine, cotton candy machine, smoothie machine, pop corn, magic mocktail bar, bouncy house & slide, slime station, Lego hat making station, coloring station, face painting, etc. etc. #PapaBearTurns2.”
In another separate Instagram post Nicki posed with her son and husband Kenneth Petty for a heartfelt post that read, “On 9/30/22 you turned 2. #PapaBear, your Dad & I love you so much, You make us so happy. You’re perfect. Thank you for giving mama new meaning to life. God cover you. Always.” She also shared a thank you saying, “@cassie @alexfine44 it was such a pleasure to have you guys. Full circle moment. From rapping about Cassie to having kids the same age. I love you guys so much.”
Minaj had childhood trauma of her own that has led to her wanting the absolute best for her son previously stating that, “I love my son so much that I don’t know if it’s normal, but it seems unhealthy because I took too long to start working and leaving him to be watched by anyone, so now I have this real bad separation anxiety. So that’s not good. When I was 2 years old, my parents left me in Trinidad. Of course, I was very attached to my mother, and in my little toddler mind, I thought I was going to see her the next day. And she was gone for two years, so that’s a big part in my development. So I’m reliving all of those things now because I’m afraid that my son will ever feel that I left him for anything, for any reason, and for any amount of time.”
She has also hinted at her new album arriving before the end of the year saying, “I wasn’t sure how I was even feeling about having to put out an album this year, but that song happening and people liking it, that made me happy, People have gone through so much recently that they want to have fun. It’ll probably expedite the album to come out this year.”
Besides just music, the rapper will also be releasing a new documentary about herself called Nicki that is split into six parts and the docuseries will examine different moments of Nicki’s career.
