Nothin' In The Oven: 5 Bogus Baby Bump Rumors

August 12, 2015 - 12:42 pm by Diamond Hillyer

These female celebs shut down pregnancy rumors with the swiftness

In the age of social media, baby bump rumors is everyday news. Case in point: Nicki Minaj affectionately referring to Meek Mill as her “baby’s father” during the Pinkprint tour. Social media and fans in attendance alike gushed over the couple’s flirty on-stage PDA, injecting pregnancy rumors onto timelines everywhere.

But Omeeka isn’t the only pair that Twitter has attempted to impregnate. Many celebs have found their names pinned beside the word "pregnant" in tabloid headlines, especially after flaunting a little belly post-lunch. VIBE ran through the rumor mill and found five women who have shut down pregnancy rumors.

Erykah Badu
In true Media Take Out fashion, the gossip blog published an “exclusive” story on Erykah Badu’s alleged pregnancy after a performance where Ms. Fat Belly Bella reportedly looked like she had a baby bump. MTO then pinned the cause-of-pregnancy on Jay Electronica, causing the neo-soulstress to shut the rumors down on Twitter as she reassured fans she wasn’t pregnant. “Just fat,” she said.

Before addressing Meek Mill a her “baby father," the lead Barb hushed earlier pregnancy gossip after Meek expressed his “wish” for a baby with her. Nicki let fans know that a genie wouldn’t be granting his or anyone's wish until she has a ring on it:

No matter wut he, or anyone else says, Onika Tanya Maraj won't b pushing anyone1 out her vajayjay, until she's married. Now check that

The newly-legal 18-year-old nipped her pregnancy rumors in the bud after tabloids reported that she was allegedly attempting to conceal her stomach in Instagram pictures. Nothing gets past the Internet-breaking Kardashian-Jenner clique, and Kylie took to Twitter to personally address the rumor:  

People been thinking I'm pregnant for 8 months now... CLEARLY I'm not pregnant!

As with any female Drake associate, Jhené Aiko’s reunion with the 6 God sparked relationship rumors between the two. All it took was a simple comment from Aiko saying that Drizzy was her “musical soulmate” for pregnancy whispers to be thrown in the mix. Shortly after, the Souled Out crooner revealed the truth:  

i'm not pregnant , kids . Now run along and enjoy your Friday ! and as my 4th grade teacher use to say .... " ... http://t.co/7JZD9R0uuy

After zeroing in on the pop luminary’s tummy, many suspected that her and her fiancée, Taylor Kinney, were expecting. During her L.A. concert at the Hollywood Bowl, she announced to fans that the little extra belly was due to age, not a new addition to the family. “I'm getting a little older and many people think I'm pregnant but I tell them, 'I'm just almost f**king 30’,” she told the audience in June.
