Congratulations are in order for Nicki Minaj!
The Queens native and her husband, Kenneth Petty, welcomed their first child together on Wednesday (Sept. 30), multiple reports confirm. The new mom reportedly gave birth in Los Angeles. The baby’s name and gender are unknown.
Minaj officially debuted her baby bump in a July photoshoot shot by David La Chapelle.
Minaj and Petty tied the knot in October 2019. Four years earlier, in an interview with Cosmopolitan, the “Chun-Li” rapper predicted that she would be married with children within a decade. “Ten years from now, I will have two children, unless my husband wants three,” she said at the time. “I will be into my fitness a lot more, I will stop yo-yo dieting, and I’ll be a housewife with careers that I can run from home.
“I want to be able to cook for my children, bake cookies for them, and watch them grow up. I just want to be mommy,” she continued. “Take them to school, go to the parent-teacher conference, help them with their homework, and put their work on the refrigerator.”
