Nicki Minaj is giving fans a first look at her 3-month-old baby, and he already looks like her twin.
The new mom, 38, posted a series of photos of her son on Instagram, adding a sweet tribute to her baby boy. She wrote, "#PapaBear thank you so very much for choosing me to be your mama. Wishing you guys a happy & prosperous New Year."
The rapper continued, "Thank you for your love & support throughout this journey. It’s meant so much to me. Becoming a mom is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve ever taken on. Sending love to all the superhero mothers out there. Big hugs to all the women who have been pregnant during this challenging time."
Fans pointed out the resemblance between Minaj and her lookalike son, who has the exact same eyes as his mom. One fan commented, "He took your whole face [heart eyes emoji]. Such a cutie! God bless him." Several celebrities also joined in the comments to congratulate and encourage the new mom, including Diddy, Lauren London, Kelly Rowland and Kim Kardashian, who added heart emojis and wrote, "Beautiful baby boy."
Minaj tied the knot with her husband, Kenneth Petty, in October of 2019, then announced her pregnancy in July 2020, after surprising fans with photos from her maternity shoot. The rapper then quietly welcomed her first child on Sept. 30 in Los Angeles.
Fans got their first peek of the newborn in October, when Minaj shared a snap of his foot in honor of her one-year wedding anniversary with Petty. However, a name has yet to be revealed.
Here's hoping we'll see more snaps of Minaj's mini-me soon!
