Nicki Minaj Doesn't Want Her son To Do Rap

American rapper Nicki Minaj says she will not let her son, nicknamed Papa Bear, become a rapper when he gets older. 

She made this disclosure while discussing motherhood and her son on the DJ Buck & Friends podcast, earlier this week.

The 39-year-old 'Pills and Potions' hitmaker said  that whenever she stresses about something, she looks at her son and sees him as a “blessing,” 

“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,” Minaj said.

“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.”

And while Nicki said her son is a “show off,” she said that rap is out of the question at the moment.

“So I will just say that it’s been a great experience. I’m learning a lot, I’m laughing a lot,” she said.

“He’s a show-off, but I’m not letting him rap. I’m not letting him do nothing about no music.”

Nicki Minaj With Her Husband And SonNicki welcomed her first child, a son, with her husband, Kenneth “Zoo” Petty on September 30, 2020. 

She kept her newborn private for the first few months of his life and revealed him to the world in a New Year’s Instagram post in January 2021.

So far, she is yet to reveal her son's name and only referred to him as "Papa Bear" in social media posts.
