Nicki Minaj has taken her parenting duties incredibly seriously since giving birth to her first son in 2020 and told Jada Pinkett Smith in an interview with Interview Magazine that her commitment to being a good parent is partially due to a fear that she might pass down her own childhood trauma.
“I love my son so much that I don’t know if it’s normal, but it seems unhealthy because I took too long to start working and leaving him to be watched by anyone, so now I have this real bad separation anxiety. So that’s not good.”

She continued: “When I was 2 years old, my parents left me in Trinidad. Of course, I was very attached to my mother, and in my little toddler mind, I thought I was going to see her the next day. And she was gone for two years, so that’s a big part in my development.
“So I’m reliving all of those things now because I’m afraid that my son will ever feel that I left him for anything, for any reason, and for any amount of time.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj has also hinted that her new album will arrive before the end of 2022.
“I wasn’t sure how I was even feeling about having to put out an album this year, but that song happening and people liking it, that made me happy,” Nicki told Interview Magazine, referring to her chart-topping, record-breaking single “Super Freaky Girl.” “People have gone through so much recently that they want to have fun. It’ll probably expedite the album to come out this year.”
