Nicki Minaj is a proud mother, and she recently expressed her love and joy on social media as her son, affectionately known as “Papa Bear,” turned four. The rapper has often shared how motherhood has profoundly impacted her life, and on September 30, she marked this special occasion with a touching tribute on Instagram.
In the days leading up to her son’s birthday, Nicki shared a series of heartwarming photos and videos. However, she saved the most heartfelt message for the big day itself. “Happy 4th birthday, buddy,” she wrote. “You’ve made mama and daddy so happy. Since you were in mama’s tummy, you gave me a whole new meaning to life.” Nicki expressed her gratitude to God for her son’s health and for the many birthdays to come. She concluded her message with a powerful prayer, stating, “May God watch over you always and guide your path. No weapon formed against me will prosper. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.”
A Mother’s Love and a Hidden Name
Nicki Minaj has maintained a delicate balance between privacy and openness when it comes to her family life. While she shares glimpses of her son with her passionate fanbase, she has yet to reveal his real name. Instead, she lovingly refers to him as “Papa Bear,” a nickname she first introduced in a post back in January 2021. In that heartfelt message, she expressed, “Papa Bear, thank you so very much for choosing me to be your mama. Becoming a mom is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve ever taken on. Sending love to all the superhero mothers out there.”
Despite the demands of motherhood, Nicki Minaj’s career remains as vibrant as ever. She continues to tour in support of her latest album and isn’t shy about engaging in social media feuds, recently calling out JAY-Z for his Super Bowl Halftime Show lineup choices.
