She's a mama bear and she's not ashamed of it.

While talking to E! News, the 40-year-old rapper got candid about being very "attached" to her two-year-old son, who she affectionately has referred to as "Papa Bear."

"I remember being in the UK and just bawling. And when I try to FaceTime him, I get more sad," Minaj explained to Justin Sylvester.

"So, I try to hold out on FaceTiming him because to then put the phone down is so difficult."

The Beam Me Up Scotty artist further revealed that her son, whom she shares with her husband Kenneth Petty, "never had a nanny" which added to her "fear and anxiety" over juggling motherhood and her career.

She explained that as a Trinidadian women, hiring help is something she's culturally not used to.

"It's not a bad thing when moms do it," the Starships artist explained. "It's just that I have to get conditioned. I have to get it out of my mind that it's a weird thing, because there are tons of celebrities that are doing it and they're raising amazing children."

While anxiety over motherhood is something Minaj said "crept up on her," she isn't opposed to having more babies - just not any time soon.

"Having siblings, it causes you to have problem management skills early on in life. I would feel guilty if I didn't give Papa Bear another sibling or two."

It seems like only a matter of time before another mini MInaj will be on the way!
