From Her White House Appearance to Fan Queries: Nicki Minaj's Family Timeline
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
The central question of whether Nicki Minaj's son is a US citizen requires zero speculation under federal law. He is an American citizen. Under Section 1 of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution, all individuals born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
This bedrock principle, known in international jurisprudence as jus soli (right of the soil), functions automatically. On September 30, 2020, Minaj gave birth to her son at a premier Los Angeles California hospital. Under state public health administration, the hospital issued standard institutional delivery records that directly informed the official Papa Bear birth certificate filed with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Because neither Minaj nor her husband held foreign diplomatic immunity at the time of delivery, the child instantly acquired birthright citizenship the second he drew his first breath in California.
