Minaj, who gave birth to her son on September 30, shared a video of him wiggling and smiling with the caption, “Best of 2020,” written on the video.
On Twitter, Minaj opened up on her experience giving birth when asked by a fan on what happened the moment her water broke.
“I was butt naked. Just got out of the shower and I asked him to rub my back,” she recalled. As soon as I started scooting over to him in the bed I just felt the water start coming out. I was weirdly calm and I quietly said, ‘OMG, I’m about to be in labor.’ He was very scared and I was laughing at him.”
Minaj also revealed that she was in labor “all night” and gave birth naturally after nearly three hours.
