Is Nicki Minaj Pregnant?

by Maggie Malach

Could congrats be in order for Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill? Because Minaj, who started engagement rumors when she posted a heart-shaped diamond on her ring finger in April, has fueled speculation that there could be more good news on the way. During an Aug. 8 concert, Minaj hinted that she might be pregnant, or at least encouraged such when she called Mill her "baby father" during her Aug. 8. show. Bustle has reached out to Minaj's rep for comment, but has not heard back at this time.

In a clip from her concert, which you can watch below, Minaj enthusiastically tells the audience to "Make some noise for my baby father" as Mill walks onto the stage. If she is expecting, Minaj wasn't trying to hide anything. She rocked an amazing crop top onstage that showed off her toned stomach. Neither Minaj nor Mill has commented on the news, although she retweeted a fan's video of her calling Mill her "baby father," adding the laughing with tears emoticon.

If it's true, this wouldn't be the first time a singer announced a pregnancy during a live show. Remember in December 2012 when Kanye West told an audience that Kim Kardashian was pregnant with their first child? Happily, that rumor proved to be 100 percent true and North West was born six months later. (Although Kardashian's second pregnancy announcement was tied to Keeping Up with the Kardashians.) And then, of course, there was Beyonce's famous belly-rub at the 2011 VMAs, her way of telling the world that she and Jay-Z were going to be parents.

Whether or not Minaj is pregnant, it looks like wedding bells aren't in the future for the couple. Following the engagement rumors last spring, Mill clarified to The Fader, "[Our relationship is] definitely real, but it ain't really time to get married yet. We're still learning each other, feeling each other out."

Either way, if this news is true, it's very exciting for Minaj and Mill. Just look at the exuberant expression on her face as she brings him onstage — aren't they cute?
