Hey, Happy New Year!
It’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and Nicki Minaj shared the first adorable photos
of her baby boy over the weekend, but, believe it or not, was quickly met with criticism
by a troll TikToker who actually “fat-shamed” her beautiful son… seriously, I thought
we left all the negativity back in 2020…
Nicki Minaj’s only intention to kick off 2021 was to spread love, positivity and a
side of some serious baby cuteness.
And while many were preparing to face yesterday’s ‘sunday scaries’ just before letting reality
set back in, Nicki shared a series of photos of her newborn son to Instagram on Saturday,
whom she calls “Papa Bear”, and basically all chill was lost.
Along with the adorable photos of her baby boy dressed head to toe in all designer clothing
(because, DUH!), Nicki shared some sweet words to her newest addition after giving birth
back in September, and to her dearest fans who’ve shown her nothing but support over
the past year.
She wrote, “#PapaBear thank you so very much for choosing me to be your mama.
Wishing you guys a happy & prosperous New Year.
Thank you for your love & support throughout this journey.
It’s meant so much to me.”
Nicki also got real with fans, adding, “Becoming a mom is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve
ever taken on.
Sending love to all the superhero mothers out there.
Big hugs to all the women who have been pregnant during this challenging time.”
Fans and celebrities began commenting on Nicki’s “beautiful baby boy” and gushing over
each of the photos, however, Barbz were immediately out for blood when TikToker Mattia Polibio
left a crude and unnecessary comment on her post about her son’s appearance.
And before we get further into the story, I just wanted to issue a quick disclaimer
that we aren’t here to spread negativity, but to inform you on the crude comments being
made about someone, let alone an infant.
The severity of these types of situations are what lead many celebrities to come to
the decision to not show their babies to the world, which is why it is SO important to
kick this year off by spreading kindness in any way possible.
Alright, so Mattia reportedly has a private Instagram account with less than 10,000 followers,
however, some eagle-eyed followers who managed to slip through the cracks screenshotted a
recent post he shared of Papa Bear, with the caption, “FAT ASS BABY.
@NICKIMINAJ bitch!!”
The post has allegedly been deleted but it was simply too late as his comment went viral
in a matter of minutes, which led Barbz to jump to Nicki’s defense and accuse Mattia
of fat-shaming her three-month-old baby.
Many have been spreading Mattia’s personal phone number and even trolling his public
Instagram account with comments about Nicki and her baby, while many took to Twitter to
air their thoughts.
One fan tweeted, “Not bitches calling @NICKIMINAJ’s baby ugly.
I see why celebrities don’t post their child on their socials.”
This person shared side-by-side photos of Mattia and a bag of trash, telling others
to “Spot the difference,” while others took things as low as Mattia did and began
digging up photos of Mattia as a child, like one user who wrote, “Not Mattia Polibio
body shaming Nicki Minaj's baby when he looked like this as a child.”
Things got even more out of hand when many were quick to point out Mattia’s controversial
past, including the recent rumors that he cheated on his current girlfriend Vickie,
and got a fellow influencer, who goes by Jade, pregnant last month after she went live and
claimed he took off the condom during intercourse.
The drama didn’t stop there as Jade reportedly had a miscarriage after claiming that she
should’ve just lied about what happened between them and never spoken up about Mattia’s
indiscretions, but assured fans that this was not Mattia’s fault as she consented
to everything that happened between them.
This sparked many hateful comments toward Mattia’s “unborn child” that I won’t
get into because if the miscarriage rumors are, in fact, true, that is something that
should never even be joked about in the first place.
There is so much more to Mattia’s past antics, as well as the most recent backlash surrounding
him, but we just wanted to give you guys some context about what goes on when a comment
that might’ve been intended as a crude, disprespectful joke at first, can quickly
snowball into a continuous thread of hate that we don’t need going into the New Year.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it once again, please continue to spread kindness
whether that be online or in person… the world needs a lot more of that right now!
