Born on Sept. 30, 2020, Papa Bear — a sweet nicknamethe rapper gave himand the only way she refers to him publicly — is Minaj and Petty's first child together. Minaj, for the most part, has kept her toddler out of the spotlight, though she does share moments from her life with him on social media. And in February 2022, she was spotted with her son sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers game, so it's possible she will bring him to public events more often.
During the VMAs in August 2022, Minaj received the video vanguard award andcalled out Papa Bear during her speech. "I have a new baby; his name is Papa Bear," she said at the end of her speech. "Papa Bear, I love you so much. Mommy loves you so, so, so much."
Minaj has been hard at work ona documentary series about her life, so it seems likely fans will get to know Papa Bear even more when that's released.
