Nicki Minaj shares adorable video of eight-month-old son attempting to walk on his own

Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty quietly welcomed their son to the world last September – and he’s already on the move.

The singer, 38, shared a video of her eight-month-old boy, who she only refers to as Papa Bear, trying to stand without assistance.

The tot could be seen in a cute Babygro as Kenneth was close by to stop him hurting himself.

In the clip, the rapper can be heard saying: ‘You trying to do all of that today? You’re not trying to do all of that today?

‘Am I bothering you? You had it?’

Speaking on behalf of her son, she said: ‘Mama I had it, leave me alone already please. I don’t got time for all of that mama.’

Nicki revealed she had welcomed a baby boy in October last year, weeks after giving birth to her first child.

The star took to Instagram at the time to thank her famous friends for sending their well wishes.

In a post shared on Instagram, the Anaconda hitmaker confirmed the sex of her child as she thanked her pals.

She wrote: ‘Thank you to Queen B, Kim & Ye, Riccardo Tisci, Winnie, Karol & everyone who sent well wishes during this time. It meant the world to me.

‘I am so grateful & in love with my son. Madly in love. My favorite liddo boy in the whole wide world.’

Nicki’s little one has received gifts from the likes of Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West after his birth.

Announcing the news she was expecting last year, Nikki couldn’t contain her excitement.

Sharing a picture of herself cradling her baby bump online, she wrote: ‘Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes.’

The Starships rapper began dating her childhood friend Kenneth in December 2018 before secretly tying the knot in 2019.
