Nicki Minaj sends a message to her fans about motherhood.
The Queens rapper shared a heartfelt video via her Instagram story expressing “one day, they’re yelling ‘push’ and you’re in pain,” the 41-year-old said. “Then one day, comes out a beautiful baby boy.”
“Thank God for your glory,” Minaj said into the camera. “Congratulations to him and my ma up there, you’re doing a great job. In case no one’s told you that, you’re doing a great job.”
The motherhood PSA comes after Minaj sparked divorce rumors. The Queens rapper shared a post via X that read, “yes single” and fans have since been trying to figure out if she’s referring to her relationship status or her music.
“Whatever it is, I just hope it makes you happy @NICKIMINAJ…” reacts one fan. “Oh so u are single? Or are we getting a single? We are CONFUSED BABES!” questions another.
Nicki Minaj and her hubby, Kenneth Petty, were childhood sweethearts turned life partners. “We were like this about each other since we were very young kids in the hood,” she previously wrote via X. “He was on my body before the big ol’ ghetto booty. Before the fame and fortune. Fought my boyfriend cuz I wouldn’t be his girl. He was always a lil brazy. But anyway, timing is everything.”
The couple gave birth to their son, Papa Bear, Sept. 30, 2020. “Thank you to Queen B, Kim & Ye, Riccardo Tisci, Winnie, Karol & everyone who sent well wishes during this time. It meant the world to me,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.. “I am so grateful and in love with my son. Madly in love,” she added. “My favorite liddo boy in the whole wide world.”
