Nicki Minaj Pregnant Rumors
The news came after Nicki's fans started to speculate that she's pregnant.
Last month, Minaj sported nipple pasties and high-waisted knickers to promote her new single "Trollz" with controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine. She added long rainbow hair extensions to complete her look for the colorful video they filmed in Tekashi's garage since he is still under house arrest.
Although she had a head-turning look at the time, her tummy caught more attention. In fact, it even ignited the pregnancy rumors.
Her fans asked her that time if she used her sultry pose to distract them and hide her growing baby bump.
"Nicki Minaj so pregnant. I know an over-edited pregnant picture when i see one," one fan theorized that time. "The shape of that stomach and they edited out the dark line in the middle of her stomach and covered her breast because the nipples get dark when you're pregnant. Congrats though sis."
Another one said, "You was hiding ya stomach too much, I think this means something."
Minaj and her husband were also caught in the middle of pregnancy rumors when her fans and followers noticed that she hid her stomach with a baby shark in her promotional photographs for "Trollz."
Nicki was quick to respond to the curious fans and said, "The world aint ready yet."
It will be Nicki's first child with Petty after they got married in October 2019. They announced their union through an Instagram video, in which they showed a mug with the word "Mrs" written on it and a white baseball cap that read "Bride." Next to those items were a mug that said "Mr" and a black cap that read "Groom."
