Nicki Minaj is expecting her first child with husband Kenneth Petty
New Delhi : Nicki Minaj is going to be a mom!
The rap icon Nicki Minaj announced she’s pregnant in a Instagram post. In the photo, a glowing Minaj cradles her belly while wearing an ornately decorated bikini.
″#Preggers,” she wrote in the caption, alongside a yellow heart emoji.
The rapper and her husband, Kenneth "Zoo" Petty, are expecting their first child together. Minaj and Petty got married in October, after more than a year together.
It was a surprise for everyone when Minaj abruptly announced her retirement from the rap game, writing at the time, “I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now.”
While the retirement didn’t necessarily stick ― she’s released a slew of songs and popped up in a handful of music videos since then ― Minaj has long expressed her desire to become a mother.
In May, Minaj responded to a fan who asked if she was experiencing morning sickness.
“Lmao,” she tweeted. “No throwing up. But nausea and peeing non stop. Omg what do u think this means guys???? Lmaooooooooooo”
Minaj later told her curious minds they’ll have to wait a “couple months” for a baby bump confirmation, teasing, “The world ain’t ready yet.”
