Nicki Minaj has been hit with “more anxiety” since becoming a mum. The ‘Anaconda’ rapper, 39, who had her first child, son ‘Papa Bear’ on September 30, 2020, added she hates she is worried about the child and says mothers are under pressure to be “perfect”.

She told E! News on Wednesday (19. 10. 22): “I remember being in the UK 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 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?’ I think moms feel like they have to be perfect. ” When asked if her worries would stop her from having more children, Nicki added she would feel guilty if she “didn’t give Papa Bear another sibling or two”.

The singer, who shares the boy with her music executive husband Kenneth Perry, 43, added she often feels like her heart is being “ripped out” every time she is away from their two-year-old.
