Nicki Minaj’s 11-month-old son, whom she refers to as Papa Bear, spoke his first words on camera, surprising Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty. The adorable video was posted on Minaj’s Instagram account on Sept. 2.
The 38-year-old Minaj was holding her son on her lap as she and Petty spoke into the camera. Minaj held her son’s hand to wave at the camera while saying, “Say ‘Hi,'” not expecting him to actually speak.
But Minaj, Petty and the person recording the video were shocked to hear Papa Bear respond, “Hi.”
The couple’s expressions were also caught on video, and the person recording can be heard gasping.
