Five weeks after welcoming her son with husband Kenneth Petty, the "Super Bass" artist, 37, revealed on Twitter Friday that she hasn't enlisted the help of a nanny yet. Minaj called the childcare choice a "difficult decision" to make.

"Everyone tells me that," Minaj wrote to one fan who questioned why she couldn't hire a nanny like a "normal celebrity" because they miss her in the spotlight. "Lol. I rlly should get one. Difficult decision tho."

The parenting update came as the rapper answered fan questions on social media to celebrate her new song "What That Speed Bout?!" for which she filmed its music video while pregnant.

"Last night I tried to tweet while I was feeding him. He looked @ me & said 'absolutely TF NOT,' " she tweeted about her son. "???? he wants his undivided attention chile."

Minaj said she misses her fans, who've begun calling her newborn their "nephew." The artist wrote to her avid fan base: "Can't wait til he meets you guys. I wonder if he'll like yall? he's prob gonna be so confused at first. Like why yall so loud? That lady ain't nobody she just my mommy."
