Nicki Minaj is sharing the first full photos of her baby son on Instagram.
On Saturday, the 38-year-old rapper, who gave birth to her first child on September 30, published a lovely photo slideshow writing: “#PapaBear thank you very much for choosing me to be your mother. I wish you a happy and prosperous new year. Thank you for your love and support throughout this journey. It meant a lot to me. “
She added: “Becoming a mother is by far the most rewarding job I have ever undertaken. Sending love to all the superhero moms out there. A big hug to all women who were pregnant during this challenging period. “
In the images, the child, whose name has not been announced, is sitting in a baby seat wearing Burberry, Versace and Fendi designer clothes and a gold necklace that reads “Papa Bear”. A video with the caption “Best of 2020” showed the baby wearing a red and green sweatshirt. Before Saturday, fans had only seen the baby’s tiny foot in honor of their wedding anniversary on Instagram.
In October 2019, Minaj married Kenneth Petty, 42, leaving the news on Instagram with a video showing “Mr.” and “Mrs.” “Bride” and “Groom” coffee mugs and baseball caps. “Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty”, she wrote, along with the wedding date. Months earlier, the “Moment 4 Life” singer had changed her name on Twitter to Ms. Petty, driving fans crazy with speculation.
Last week, Minaj shared her maternity story on Twitter, including feeling it unborn baby kick, at the moment when the bag burst while she was “naked” after the bath and delivery, which lasted two and a half hours. The first-time mother also confessed that breastfeeding and pumping breast milk was painful.
“He had no trouble breastfeeding,” tweeted Minaj. “He was admitted to the hospital, which was very surprising to me. I was afraid that maybe he didn’t. But breastfeeding is very painful. Pumping too. Women make these things look very easy. Mothers [are] really superheroes. “
The singer also revealed which celebrities gave advice and gifts (Ciara and Ariana Grande) and promised to eventually reveal her son’s name.
Yes. I was naked. I just got out of the shower and asked him to rub my back. As soon as I started running towards him in bed, I just felt the water start to come out. I was strangely calm and said quietly “oh, I’m almost in labor”. He was very scared and I was laughing at him. https://t.co/2FGBnQOp3T

Yes, natural vaginal delivery with epidural. I pushed for 2 and a half hours. Only b / c first, the epidural didn’t pass long enough for me to feel myself pushing. As soon as I could feel the pain, I pushed it out. https://t.co/gzN45j6V6z
