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.
