Nicki Minaj has only sparingly shared images of her son or details about him with her fans, but she couldn’t help but share an adorable moment from her show in New York City.
The superstar mom brought the Pink Friday 2 Tour to her hometown of New York City on Saturday night (March 30), and was apparently joined by members of her family, including her three-year-old son, who the world still only knows by the nickname Papa Bear.
In a clip that made the social media rounds on Sunday (March 31), the little boy can be seen dancing as his mom’s 2010 hit “Roman’s Revenge” is heard playing in the background.
Check out the adorable moment below.

Papa Bear isn’t the only special guest to have joined Nicki Minaj along her tour so far. And the past week and a half was particularly busy.
On March 22, the Barbz in attendance at the second sold out night of the Pink Friday 2 Tour in Atlanta were treated to guest appearances by 2 Chainz and Waka Flocka Flame.
Following a set by hometown favorite Monica — who has been along for the duration of the Pink Friday 2 Tour — Nicki ran through a series of hits new and old, and brought out 2 Chainz to perform their 2012 collab “Beez In The Trap.”
Waka later appeared, delivering a live rendition of his club banger “Hard In The Paint.” Lil Scrappy also pulled up and performed his debut single “No Problem,” a certified Atlanta classic, with an assist from his former Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta co-star Khaotic.
On Friday (March 29), the 41-year-old passed through the City of Brotherly Love for a show at the Wells Fargo Center. During her set, the “Barbie World” hitmaker even brought out local icons Freeway and the Young Gunz.
The night before held a little more meaning for Nicki after an onstage from a legendary rapper.
Taking to her Instagram Story following her show in New Jersey on Thursday (March 28), Minaj named Jadakiss as one of her favorite rappers of all time as she thanked him for popping in to surprise the crowd.
“The one and only Jadakiss graced #GagCity with his presence tonight and I couldn’t feel more honored,” she wrote. “One of my faves of ALL time. Y’all know that’s the truth. Kiss, thank you.”
Fivio Foreign also stopped by as a special guest for a live performance of their collab, “We Go Up.”
