Nicki Minaj's son is celebrating his first birthday, and it looks like the rapper went all out for a stunning 'Kung Fu Panda' birthday party!
The 'Starships' rapper shared the awesome pictures on Instagram, showing inside of the 1-year-old's shindig -- affectionally known as 'Papa Bear' -- including snaps with his family and his father, Kenneth Petty.
"On Sept. 30th you turned 1. Mama is so proud of you, PapaBear. You’re the best boy in the whole wide world. I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but God bless you, son. Mommy & Daddy will never stop loving you," Nicki captioned the party pics.

You can see that the famous couple went all out for the party, including balloons and cut-out characters from the movie.
"Happy Birthday Papa Bear happy born day to the Queen that carried you," 'RHOA' star Phaedra Parks wrote.

BTW, everyone is continuing to call Nicki's young son by his nickname, after the famous rapper decided to shield his real name from the public. It's unclear why she believes people knowing his actual name is problematic. It should be noted, the little guy was dressed as fly as possible with a tiny Christian Dior outfit and a diamond chain. Nicki included a video in a second post, of Papa Bear getting ready for his big day. Cutest thing ever!
Of course, the Barbz filled Nicki's post with a bunch of well-wishes including one who wrote, "I can’t believe it’s been a year 😭 Happy Birthday to your wonderful baby boy Nicki, I’m so happy to see you happy together with your lovely family!!🥺 may God continue to bless and protect you all! 🙏🏽 tell papa the Barbz love him."

Nicki Minaj's mother got in on the action and shared a beautiful picture of the youngster with an emotional caption.
She wrote:
Happy Birthday Papa Bear
I look into your eyes and I linger there
What striking good looks Papa Bear
May you grow up to live against the
status quo
But trust in Jesus as you go
May you make a difference in your generation, I pray
It's a pleasure to wish you
Happy 1st Birthday
Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty Still Dealing With Drama From His Past
As we reported, the birthday party comes amongst a drama-filled few weeks of the rapper's life. She's been accused of bribery by her husband's assault victim and faces criticism over her position on COVID vaccines. The woman filed a lawsuit against the couple claiming she was harassed by them to drop her allegations against Petty.
"[Petty] did something a long time ago and he had consequences that he was supposed to stick with. What they did to me and my family wasn't OK," she said. Adding, "It wasn't right and it doesn't matter how much money you have. It doesn't matter what your status is, you can't intimidate people to make things go better for you. And that's what they did."
