Nicki Minaj Addresses Pregnancy Rumors With Fans On Instagram Live

Nicki Minaj had fun entertaining the Barbz on Instagram Live Saturday night while addressing pregnancy rumors that seemingly went viral on the internet.

According to Billboard, the Queens native chatted with fans on the social platform just hours before she was set to perform as the headliner for London’s Wireless Festival on Sunday.

In the 11-minute clip, fans started asking the 39-year-old if she was expecting another child with her husband, Kenneth Petty.

“Am I pregnant?” her eyes bulged as she read the question in the live session.

“… Oh, I did mean to tweet this: ‘I’m not fat, y’all, I’m pregnant. Yeah, I meant to tell y’all, but I forgot,” Minaj continued.

While congratulatory comments from fans started reeling in, the “Truffle Butter” artist interjected by correcting her statement.

“Oh wait,” she said. “Did I say it wrong? I’m sorry. I think I said it wrong. I meant to say I’m not pregnant. I’m fat.”

Minaj was amused at the pregnancy rumors and the responses from fans after confirming the statement. She then laughed and thanked them for sending the celebratory messages.

“But thanks, guys, for all the congratulatory messages,” she chuckled.

Minaj’s response comes days after her performance at the 2022 Essence Festival in New Orleans on Friday, July 1, Sis2Sis reported
