Nicki Minaj recently slammed criticism from a fan who claimed she used her son's birthday party to defend her husband, Kenneth Petty. The rapper celebrated her four-year-old son Papa Bear's birthday this week and shared photos from the party on social media on October 1.

Among her photos, Minaj included a snap alongside her husband, Kenneth Petty, posing in an indoor playground. She wrote in the caption:

“They used to be giving yall the #fakenews so loud & proud I thought a brain vessel was gon pop. You’d have to have a brain for that tho.”

In a follow-up post, Nicki Minaj added:

“I let them run wit a #fakenews drag for years just so I could get this GOOD GOOD laugh. I’m a diff type a heaux. PETTY.”

Minaj's post led fans to assume that she included the image with Petty to defend him. Kenneth Petty is allegedly barred from entering children's play areas since he is a convicted s*x offender. In response to her post, a netizen wrote:

"Only you could make your child birthday about a man."

Nicki Minaj quoted the person's post on X and responded with a lengthy post, slamming claims that she made her son's birthday all about her husband.

The NYC rapper referred to the person as a "weak loser" for tweeting about someone else's birthday, claiming they had nothing better to do in their lives.

"There are 24 hours in one’s bday. So you have no idea what anyone’s bday was like via a photo on social media. That’s why yall was saying couple goals about a lot of those Instagram relationships & ended up looking dumb. Well yall BEEN looking dumb chi. The mirror told yall that way before I could’ve," she said.
"A photo takes one second to take & another second to post. That leaves over 23 hours. So again… making someone’s bday about something that took one second?"

Nicki Minaj also claimed the person was obsessed with her and had a low IQ.

"Nothing in the tweet has to do with ANYONE’S bday. So ummmmm how’d you know? Oh right. OBSESSED WITH ONIKA!!!!! DING 🛎️ DING 🛎️ DING 🛎️. Obsessed, ugly AND a VERY low IQ. They always check the same boxes," she tweeted.

Minaj continued to accuse the person of trying to bring her down and hating on her, writing a lost post explaining herself. She also added details about her latest tour in the post.

The rapper defended her husband by saying it is "his [Papa Bear's] son" and "her husband" and not just any man. She added that she has every right to defend her husband as a self-made woman who came as an "immigrant."

On October 1, Nicki Minaj took to Instagram to share images of her four-year-old son, Papa Bear, on his birthday. The rapper included a series of videos and photos of her son with herself and her husband.

"Dear #PapaBear, Happy 4th birthday, buddy. You’ve made mama & daddy so happy. Since you were in mama’s tummy, you gave me a whole new meaning to life. Hope. May God watch over you always & guide your path. No weapon formed against you will prosper. In Jesus name we pray. Amen," the post's caption read.

The post included a video of Papa Bear walking out of the elevator with his father while looking back at his mother. Other images featured him as a toddler in the arms of Petty and Minaj.

In a February 2022 appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Nicki Minaj spoke about how motherhood changed her.

"I think motherhood has made me see more good in people, more good in the universe. When I look at my son, I'm reminded that I am so blessed. I realized, for so many women, this is their dream. Their dream is to have a child and not everybody gets that blessing. So when you have a little baby, you are reminded every day like, 'Oh my God. Thank you God for this little gift,'" she said.

As per PEOPLE, Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty first met during high school. The couple lost touch for years before reconnecting in 2018. They tied the knot in 2019 and welcomed their son, Papa Bear, in 2020.
