“It took me too long to get to work and leave him to be watched by anyone, so now I have a really big separation anxiety,” she said.
Minaj also shared how being abandoned by her family at a young age had affected her outlook on motherhood.
“I’m reliving all those things now because I’m afraid my son will one day feel that I left him for whatever, for whatever reason and for a certain amount of time,” she said.
