There’s a new Petty officer in town. Nicki Minaj has officially become a mother, welcoming her first newborn child into the world with husband Kenneth Petty.
Though Nicki Minaj has been screaming that “these bitches are her sons” for years, it would appear that the “Chun-Li” rapper has finally become a mother for the first time. After announcing her pregnancy in July, TMZ reports that Minaj gave birth in Los Angeles yesterday, confirming that both the name and sex remain unknown as of now. The publication also confirms that her husband, Kenneth Petty, was by her side for the duration of the birth.
The news comes as a welcome surprise for Minaj’s legions of fans, the Barbz, who have already began to celebrate via social media. As of this moment, the rapper has yet to publically announce the news on her own platform, though it’s likely she will share confirmation at some point in the imminent future. It’s also unclear as to whether she’ll be actively following through with previously-teased retirement plans, though it wouldn’t be surprising to see Nicki taking a temporary hiatus at the very least.
Expect to see the child’s name and gender revealed shortly, and in the meantime, congratulations to Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty on the great news. Regardless of how questionable either parent may be to some, a child is a blessing and completely innocent to anyone else’s actions. In the words of Miley Cyrus “Nicki-congratufuckinglations.” Peep some of the reactions to the news below:
