There is good news of a Barbie princess or prince as the Queen Barbie herself, Nicki Minaj, has announced on Instagram that she is pregnant!
The rapper posted a photo of herself rocking a beautiful two-piece bedazzled bikini and matching stilettos with her bulging baby bump in full glare.
The 37-year-old rapper had always wanted to get married before having a baby. She said in a 2014 interview that her mother had instilled that in her and did not see herself going about it in any other way. She said at the time that she feels she was “ put here to be a mother.”
“I definitely will be married before I have my baby. I want to make sure I do it in that order. I’ve always felt like that since I was young; my mother always put that in my head.”
She captioned her announcement photo, “#Preggers”, and she sure does have that baby glow in the photo.

We all love ‘love’ and Minaj sure is enjoying her marriage and now expecting her first child with her husband Petty. In June, she spoke to People Magazine about married life and the joy it brings her.
“When you have someone that feels like your soulmate or someone who understands you, it just makes you feel like you’re on top of the world,” Minaj said.
We are all rooting for you, sis!
