Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty welcomed their first child on September 30 — and now, Black Barbie has finally revealed the baby’s gender.
On Thursday (October 15), Nicki shared an Instagram post showing off the various congratulatory cards she received from her famous friends, including Beyoncé, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and model Winnie Harlow. In the process, she told her 123.3 million followers she’s the proud mother to a baby boy.
“Thank you to Queen B, Kim & Ye, Riccardo Tisci, Winnie, Karol & everyone who sent well wishes during this time,” she wrote in the caption. “It meant the world to me. I am so grateful & in love with my son. Madly in love. My favorite liddo boy in the whole wide world.”
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of live shows, Nicki has been thriving in recent months. She was nominated for two Latin Grammy Awards in the Record of the Year and Song of the Year categories for “Tusa,” her collaboration with Karol G.
And she also scored a huge victory in her lawsuit with singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman. On September 16, a judge ruled her unreleased song “Sorry” didn’t commit any copyright infringement involving Chapman’s “Baby Can I Hold You” — even though she never got permission to sample the song.
“Artists usually experiment with works before seeking licenses from rights holders and rights holders typically ask to see a proposed work before approving a license,” judge Virginia A. Phillips said. “A ruling uprooting these common practices would limit creativity and stifle innovation within the music industry.”
Nicki Minaj's 'Sorry' Lawsuit Could Change Hip Hop As We Know It
Nicki is preparing to release another collaboration, this time with Sada Baby. Other than that, she’s presumably focused on taking care of her real baby and basking in her newfound motherhood.
Let’s see if you back your brother now!
You going to let him babysit?
You know considering he is a child rapist
AKA a fucking animal! NM had his back on this shit. She a fucking animal too.
She shouldn’t be aloud near no children (even her own)
as she condones the abuse. Paying for her brothers legal team. She should’ve been paying for that poor child’s counselling and what ever else it would take to put their life back together as best as it could be!
And IF someone responds on her saying she is paying for the kids help.
That would mean that she sees her brother as guilty! But still looked passed it.
Never mind tho B patted her on the back!
Brother and husband are convicts and rapists. Too bad money can’t buy good sense.
dow jones the nikkei. i repeat, the nikkei.
Nicki minaj stole her whole style from white woman and barbie culture. Typicak tjiugh black ins hiphoo rip off everyones hard earned real life name for rap
