And The Latest Celeb Mum Of 2020 Is (Reportedly)… Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty have reportedly welcomed their first child together.
If the reports are true, Nicki Minaj just became a mummy! And even though details are scarce right now, TMZ reports that the rap queen and her husband, Kenneth Petty, welcomed a baby into the world, though no further information – including the baby's sex – has come through just yet.
People and Us Weekly have also confirmed the news. Both report that Minaj gave birth yesterday, September 30, in LA.
The hip-hop icon first revealed her pregnancy on Instagram in July with a series of colourful shots of her cradling her baby bump, culminating in a regal, stunning final portrait shot by David LaChapelle. She married Petty in October 2019, sharing the news in an Instagram post showcasing some his and hers wedding merch.
Despite a total shutdown of the live-music industry, Minaj spent 2020 earning her first two No. 1 songs on the Billboard, first with Doja Cat on the disco-pop track "Say So" in May and again in June, teaming up Tekashi 6ix9ine on the colourful "Trollz." She also collaborated with Meghan Trainor, A$AP Ferg, and more.
It's also been quite a year for new babies in the pop-music world. Just last week, Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid announced they'd welcomed their first child, a daughter, following similar announcements from Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom; Ed Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn; and Usher and music executive Jenn Goicoechea.
Congrats to Minaj and Petty, as well as all the new parents in 2020. Babies, man! Cute!
