Nicki Minaj Claims She Doesn’t Have A Nanny
Nannies. If I had cash and a baby to burn (WAIT, strike that, reverse it), you bet your ass I’d be hiring one. And most celebrities would do the same. Hell, Beyoncé had six nannies for Blue Ivy. This is why it’s surprising that Nicki Minaj is doing the whole “first-time mom” thing sans hired help. Nicki gave birth to an as-yet-unnamed son with Kenneth “Zoo” Petty at the end of September, and this past weekend she tweeted that she’s still mulling over the “difficult decision” to get a nanny.
Here’s the tweet:
Everyone tells me that. Lol. I rlly should get one. Difficult decision tho. https://t.co/CM0iIW9Roq

Nicki also added that her baby boy requires his mother’s total focus:
Last night I tried to tweet while I was feeding him. He looked @ me & said “absolutely TF NOT” 🤣 he wants his undivided attention chile 🥴😍

Now, let’s think about this for a second. Maybe Nicki doesn’t technically have a “nanny”, but I’m willing to bet she has a team of assistants, housekeepers, chefs, etc. to help manage her life. So it’s not like she’s doing this entirely on her own. Also, it’s pretty wild that a celebrity saying she doesn’t have a nanny for a nine-week-old baby is headline news.
The same thing happened a year ago when Nicki’s (maybe former?) nemesis Cardi B revealed she also hadn’t hired help for baby Kulture. And even though Cardi claimed it was because she wanted to form a bond with her daughter, we all know it was so Offset didn’t pull a Ben Affleck/Jude Law.
Well, if Nicki finally decides to hire one, may I suggest Fran Drescher AKA Fran Fine? Or even Cardi, who was once rumored to take up Fran’s torch as The Nanny 2.0? I mean, Nicki as the boss, Cardi as her nanny? The hijinks write themselves! Greenlight that shit, network execs!
