Nicki Minaj confirms pregnancy with photo shoot showing off baby bump
Nicki Minaj is officially going to be a mom!
The rapper shared a slew of jaw-dropping baby bump photos on Instagram on Monday, confirming pregnancy rumors that have been circulating the last few months.
"Preggers," Minaj captioned the first photo of herself cradling her baby bump. In the photo, she wears a floral-themed bra, fringe-decorated heels and a stunning yellow wig while sitting on a light pink couch.
In another photo, Minaj wore a blue wig, and a pink- and blue-fringed outfit with yellow ruffles on her shoulder.
The comments flooded with messages of congratulations and heart-eye emojis from the likes of actress Halle Berry, rapper Young MA, fashion model Duckie Thot, singer Sam Smith and more.
"Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude," Minaj wrote alongside a third photo, a variation of the first, in response. "Thank you all for the well wishes."
This will be Minaj's first child. She and her husband, Kenneth Petty, wed last October after having dated as teenagers and reconnected in 2018.
Minaj's fans have been speculating about her pregnancy for months, especially after her latest video for "Trollz," featuring Tekashi 6ix9ine, in which she appeared to be deliberately concealing a possible baby bump.
Back in May, the "Super Bass" rapper teased fans on Twitter about her pregnancy, while promoting her first Billboard Hot 100 record, the "Say So" remix with Doja Cat. At the time, Minaj shared she was having cravings for steak, shrimp, red meat, her famous cheeseburgers and salad with "extra jalapeños" and had experienced nausea and peeing nonstop.
"Omg, what do you think this means, guys? Lmaooooooooooo," she tweeted.
