“As soon as I started to approach him in bed, I felt the water start to come out,” added Minaj. “I was strangely calm and said quietly ‘my God, I’m almost in labor’. He was very scared and I was laughing at him.”
As for the support she received from celebrity friends since welcoming her son, the star revealed that Ariana Grande “sent her some beautiful gifts” and credited mother Ciara for being “sooooo helpful” with advice. (Minaj has collaborated with Grande numerous times in recent years, from joining forces with Jessie J for “Bang Bang” in 2014 to participating in the tiny pop star Dangerous woman-it was breaking “Side to Side” in 2016 and Sweetener promotional track “The Light is Coming” in 2018, while she and Ciara teamed up for the 2013 single “I’m Out” from the latter.)
Minaj also shared her ultrarelative experience with a newborn, saying that while the baby was admitted to the hospital, the breastfeeding process had been far from easy for her.
“He had no problem breastfeeding. He was admitted to the hospital, which was very surprising to me. I was afraid he couldn’t, ”she wrote. “But breastfeeding is very painful. Pumping too. Women make it look too easy. Mothers are really superheroes.”
