Nicki Minaj Shares Her Son's Birth Story

American-Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj welcomed her first child, a son, with her husband Kenneth Petty, in Los Angeles, on September 30.

The “Barbie Dreams” rapper celebrated her son turning three months old on Wednesday with a fan Q&A on Twitter.

Minaj got candid about motherhood and how her water broke. She stated that she just got out of the shower and asked Petty for a back rub, and as soon as she began to move over to him in the bed, she felt the water start coming out.

"I was weirdly calm and I quietly said ‘omg, I’m about to be in labor',” she recalled.

Despite Minaj was calm during the ordeal, however, her husband was understandably scared. “I was laughing at him,” she joked.

The rapper stated that she was in labor “all night” and had a natural birth with epidurals.

“I pushed for 2 1/2 hours. Only because first the epidural didn’t wear off enough for me to feel myself pushing. Once I was able to feel the pain I pushed him out.” she stated.

Minaj also revealed that Ciara has been extremely helpful in giving parenting advice and that Ariana Grande sent her son “gorgeous gifts.”

When asked more about her pregnancy journey, the multi-platinum selling rap star encouraged fans to watch her upcoming six-episode docuseries on HBO Max.

Minaj also marked her son turning three months old with an Instagram post showcasing a never-before-seen pregnancy picture.

"🥳🥳🥳🥳🎈🎈🎈🎀🎀🎀🎀💛💛💛💛💛💛🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍Happy 3 months Bday #PapaBear Mommy & Daddy love you soooo much. You’re the best boy in the whole wide 🌍. 📸," she captioned.
