Nicki Minaj Announces Pregnancy
After months of rumours, the rap queen has officially announced that she is pregnant with her first child with husband Kenneth Petty. Taking to Instagram on today, a pregnant Nicki shared a series of photos from her stunning maternity shoot, photographed by David LaChapelle.
Minaj, who married Petty in October, has been open about wanting to start a family. “I’m not saying I’m pregnant. That’s the end goal,” she said during an episode of Queen Radio last year. “I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness. It was so hard to get to a happy place. Now that I’m there I don’t want to compromise that for anyone or anything.”
In addition to delivering her first child, Nicki has also been working on her new album. Last month, she hinted that it may be titled Pink Friday 2, a sequel to her 2010 album. “It’s probably the most excited I’ve been about an album release in a really long time,” she told ELLE. “This one incorporates all the things people love about Nicki, but it also just has a way bigger sound.”
