American rapper, Nicki Minaj, 39, has revealed that she’s had “more anxiety” since becoming a mom.
Recall that the rapper welcomed her first child and son on Sept. 30, 2020.
In an interview with E! News, Nicki Minaj revealed that she’s had “more anxiety” since becoming a mom.
According to her, she is very attached to her 2-year-old who she nicknamed, “Papa Bear” and each time she is away from him, she feels like her “heart is being ripped out”.
In her words;
“I remember being in the U.K. and just bawling. And when I try to FaceTime him, I get more sad. So, I try to hold out on FaceTiming him because to then put the phone down is so difficult.”
“I’m a Trinidadian woman. Culturally, we’re not really used to nannies and strangers taking care of the babies. “It’s not a bad thing when moms do it. It’s just that I have to get conditioned. I have to get it out of my mind that it’s a weird thing, because there are tons of celebrities that are doing it and they’re raising amazing children.”
“I hate that I have more anxiety now because you’re like, ‘What if the one time I leave my child, I get that phone call?” she said, adding: “I think moms feel like they have to be perfect.”
When asked if her fears would prevent her from having more children, she added that she would feel guilty if she “didn’t give Papa Bear another sibling or two.”
