Mrs. Petty is “preggers”!
Nicki Minaj sure seems to love surprising her fans with big news.
Last year, Nicki, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj, announced on social media that she has made it official with boyfriend Kenneth Petty – they tied the knot on October 21, 2019.
Fast forward a few months, Nicki has another major, life-changing news to share – she’s expecting her first child!
In a series of Instagram posts showing of her growing baby bump, the Queen rapper announced that she was “#preggers.”
She later shared another message about her journey – “Love. Marriage. Baby carriage,” and wrote that she was “Overflowing with excitement & gratitude,” thanking everyone “for the well wishes. 💛”
Just last month, she opened up to fellow rapper Lil Wayne about how much she was enjoying married life.
“When you have someone that feels like your soulmate or someone who understands you, it just makes you feel like you’re on top of the world,” Nicki said as they chatted on his Apple Music series Young Money Radio with Lil Wayne.
“I didn’t think it would be as refreshing and calming as it is,” she continued. “Even if you’re not married, when you have someone that feels like your soulmate or someone who understands you, it just makes you feel like you’re on top of the world.”
Nicki also sparked pregnancy speculations in May when, during a Q&A session to promoted her remix of Doja Cat’s “Say So,” she shared a list of food she was craving while staying at home – and revealed that she’d been experiencing nausea and peeing non-stop.
