Nikki Minaj has shared the first photos of her baby boy this weekend. The rapper has been keeping her personal life very private since the birth of her first child in September but has now shared some adorable snaps of her son.

Posting the pictures to Instagram she captioned them; “#PapaBear thank you so very much for choosing me to be your mama.”

“Wishing you guys a happy & prosperous New Year. Thank you for your love & support throughout this journey.”

When Nicki first announced her pregnancy, she uploaded a series of photos to her Instagram, the first simply captioned, “#Preggers”, followed by a non captioned image of her holding her baby bump, and finally, another with the caption “Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes.”

In an previous interview from 2014, Nicki spoke to Complex about her dream to become a mother. “[My biggest fear] is that I’ll become so consumed with work that I’ll forget to live my personal life to the fullest,” she said. “If I’m done with my fifth album and I don’t have a child by then, no matter how much money I have, I would be disappointed, as a woman, because I feel like I was put here to be a mother.”

Then just last year, she announced she was retiring to start a family, tweeting, “I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now,” she wrote. “To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me … Love you for LIFE.”
