Controversial American rapper, singer, songwriter, and model Nicki Minaj, 37 has officially announced that she’s pregnant with her first child.
Nicki shared the photos on her official Instagram page where she posed with her baby bump on fleek.
The rapper shared three photographs on Instagram revealing her news, captioning the first picture: “Preggers.”

In the caption, she expressed her gratitude for all the well-wishes she has received.
“Love. Marriage. Baby carriage,” the “Starships” singer said.
“Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes.”
You will recall that in September 2019, Minaj announced she had “retired” from the music industry to have a beautiful family after she got married to married her partner, Kenneth, in October 2019.
Sharing a tweet back then, the rapper said: “I’ve decided to retire and have my family. I know you guys are happy now.
Nicki Minaj on September 5th, 2019 announced that she was retiring from music to have a family and said “I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep rep-pin me, do it til da death of me, in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me,” she wrote. “Love you for LIFE.”
In September 2019, Nikky’s announcement was met with bewilderment from Minaj’s fans, some of whom couldn’t quite believe that the rapper is actually retiring and suggested her tweet might have been a joke.
The best albums of 2019 (so far) Minaj rose to prominence between 2007 and 2009 with her mixtapes, eventually delivering hits such as “Anaconda”, “Super Bass” and “Starships”.
Her first album, Pink Friday, came out in 2010. Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded followed in 2012.
Minaj’s third studio album, The Pinkprint, was released in 2014, and her most recent album to date, Queen, debuted in 2018.
