Nicki Minaj Just Shared the First Photos of Her Son's Face on Instagram

From Harper's BAZAAR

Nicki Minaj gave birth to her son on September 30. We still don't know his name; Minaj calls him by the nickname "Papa Bear." On Saturday morning, she shared the first full photo of her baby, and boy is he a cutie.

"#PapaBear thank you so very much for choosing me to be your mama 🎀🦄🙏," she wrote. "Wishing you guys a happy & prosperous New Year. Thank you for your love & support throughout this journey. It’s meant so much to me. Becoming a mom is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve ever taken on. Sending love to all the superhero mothers out there. Big hugs to all the women who have been pregnant during this challenging time."

In the past few months, Minaj shared a few glimpses of her baby, including this look at his little foot, which she shared in October.

In late November, she shared this audio message of her son making baby sounds.

"Say hi to the Barbz, papa bear," Minaj said, referring to her fans, as her son made sounds on the recording. "Whatcha doin'? Say somethin'!"

The baby made more cute sounds.

"Aww, you said hi to the Barbz?" she said. "Good boy, good boy!"

This is her first baby with her husband, Kenneth Petty, whom she married in 2019. She revealed in August of that year that she had gotten her marriage license with Petty.
