Nicki Minaj has been notoriously private regarding her son and is yet to announce his name, calling him “Papa Bear” publicly. However, in recent months the proud mother has shared some intimate family moments with her beloved fans.

The rapper shared a video of her baby boy driving a kids-size Ferrari while waving and saying “hi” to the camera. Nicki captioned the post, “Merry Christmas papa bear/ Lil man”
