Nicki Minaj Shares Adorable Papa Bear Moments On Son's 4th Birthday

Nicki Minaj has shown a softer side of her personality by sharing a number of intimate moments with her son Papa Bear in celebration of his 4th birthday.

Uploading a number of pictures and videos to Instagram on Monday (September 30) to mark the occasion, the Young Money rapper and her husband Kenneth Petty can be seen enjoying some precious family time with their only son.

She captioned the sweet post: “Dear #PapaBear, Happy 4th birthday, buddy. You’ve made mama & daddy so happy. Since you were in mama’s tummy, you gave me a whole new meaning to life. Hope.

“May God watch over you always & guide your path. No weapon formed against you will prosper. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.”

Nicki Minaj has only sparingly shared images and details of Papa Bear (including his real name) since his birth in September 2020, preferring to keep her family life private.

However, the child did join his mom during her Pink Friday 2 Tour stop in New York City earlier this year.

In a clip that made the social media rounds, the little boy could be seen dancing in the crowd as his rap star mother’s 2010 hit “Roman’s Revenge” was heard playing in the background.

Nicki also cited her son as the reason why she canceled a performance in Romania after protests were planned in the country’s capital city of Bucharest.

 

She said: “As a mom, I have to make sure I’m making sound decisions for me to make it home to my son and for my team to make it home to their families. To not heed the advice of security at this time is simply not what I think I should be doing. I love you and thank you for your understanding and support.”

Nicki Minaj has been open about the fact that she does not want her son to follow in her footsteps and enter the rap game.

“When I look at my son, sometimes when I’m stressing about something, I look at my son and I realize, ‘What are you mad at? Look at what God blessed you with,” she said on the DJ Buck & Friends podcast in 2022.

“This is the ultimate blessing of the universe. There’s no greater blessing. There’s none. You can’t think of one greater blessing that the universe gives us as human beings.”

She added: “So I will just say that it’s been a great experience. I’m learning a lot, I’m laughing a lot. He’s a show off, but I’m not letting him rap. I’m not letting him do nothing about no music.”

Rihanna Laughs At Reporter Who Asks If She Attended Diddy Parties: Watch

Diddy knows everybody in the music industry. He's been one of the most well-connected moguls of the last three decades. Anyone who has made it big has been photographed with him, or has interacted with him at some point. Rihanna is no exception. The pop icon was recently leaving a party when journalists approached her and began asking her about the Diddy scandal. She was asked whether she had ever attended one of the mogul's alleged "freak offs," and she gave a characteristically Rihanna answer.

The questions were quick and direct. "Did you attend any of P. Diddy's parties?," the singer was asked while being escorted by her security. "Were you involved in any of the 'freak offs'?" It was the second line of questioning that elicited a response. Rihanna couldn't help but crack a smirk, and she can be seen and heard mumbling the phrase "that's crazy" as she gets in her vehicle. The timing of her response was not lost on the journalists, who can be heard laughing behind the camera. The singer might find the whole thing crazy, but this question has seemingly become the norm for fans and journalists.

Rihanna Dismissed The Questions As Being "Crazy"

Rihanna and Diddy have not have many interactions over the years. At least, publicly. They have been photographed together at parties and public events. They exchanged niceties during the 2014 iHeart Radio Music Awards when they were both onstage. Diddy also commented on the domestic abuse that Rihanna suffered at the hands of Chris Brown. Unsurprisingly, the mogul's comments have aged very poorly in light of the allegations made against him. "We know sometimes those relationships get ugly, you know," he said during a 2009 appearance on Ellen.

People want to know who was and wasn't involved with Diddy's alleged crimes. Joe Budden, a man who gets paid to talk about other artists for a living, felt the need to set the record straight during his podcast. "For the last time, can y’all take me off the list of names that y’all think is on these tapes," the ex-rapper asked. "I ran the jokes long but I thought the joke was a joke because of who I be." Then there was Trick Daddy. The Miami rapper went on Instagram Live and threatened to beat up the next person who asked if he ever attended a Diddy party. "I'mma slap the sh*t out you," he asserted. "They don't like my kind at them parties."
