Nicki Minaj Settles The Rumor About Her Possible Pregnancy: ‘I’m Not Pregnant, I’m Fat’

In the fall of 2020, Nicki Minaj gave birth to her first son with her husband Kenneth Petty. Nicki has yet to reveal the name of the child, who is almost two years old now, as she’s affectionately referred to him as “Papa Bear” through posts and videos. Over the past few weeks, a rumor began to spread that Nicki was pregnant with her second child. At long last, the rumors reached Nicki herself after a fan directly asked her about her possible pregnancy when she was on Instagram Live.

“Am I pregnant!?” Nicki said shockingly after the fan inquired about her rumored pregnancy. She smirked and told viewers that she “did mean to tweet this: ‘I’m not fat, y’all, I’m pregnant.’” Nicki was hit with a slew of congratulatory messages in the comments, and it was there that she reversed her answer. “Oh wait, did I say it wrong? Oh, I’m sorry, I think I said it wrong,” she said in a British accent. “I meant to say I’m not pregnant, I’m fat… But thanks, guys, for all the congratulatory messages!”

While Nicki may not be pregnant, she appears to be at odds with Kanye West. During her performance at the 2022 Essence Festival last weekend, Nicki Minaj’s cued up Kanye West’s “Monster” with the intention of her performing her verse on the song. However, Nicki had other plans as she told the DJ to cut the track. “A monster though!” Nicki said to the crowd. “A monster though! But we don’t f*ck with clowns.”

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Was Sentenced To A Year Of House Arrest For Failing To Register As A Sex Offender

Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband since 2019, has been sentenced to a year of house arrest for failling to register as a sex offender in California, according to CBS Los Angeles. In addition, he must pay pay a $55,000 fine and complete three years of probation. Petty pled guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in September last year after being arrested in November of 2019 during a traffic stop.

Petty was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in New York in 1995. Despite completing his four-year sentence and registering as a sex offender in New York, he did not update his address with authorities upon the couple’s move to Los Angeles in 2019. He originally pled not guilty to failing to register, but considering a conviction could cost him up to ten years in prison with a lifetime of supervised release, he apparently changed his mind, taking the plea for a lesser sentence.

The alleged victim from his original conviction, Jennifer Hough, sued both Petty and Minaj in 2021, claiming that they or their representatives have been harassing her to recant her initial testimony. Nicki and her lawyer have called the lawsuit an attempt to shake her down for money and called for Hough’s lawyer to be “severely punished” for making certain claims in his filings saying Nicki was part of a New York street gang.

Is there beef brewing between Nicki Minaj and Kanye West? During her headlining set at Essence Fest, Nicki Minaj cut her performance of “Monster” short.

“A monster though!” Minaj said. “A monster though! But we don’t fuck with clowns.”

Nicki Minaj May Be At Odds With Kanye West After She Cut Off ‘Monster’ At A Show: ‘I Don’t F*ck With Clowns’

Nicki Minaj has had quite an eventful 2022 year so far. She put her comeback into full swing at the top of the year with two tracks alongside Lil Baby: “Do We Have A Problem?” and “Bussin.” She later returned alongside Fivio Foreign for “We Go Up” and lent a guest verse to Coi Leray for “Blick Blick.” Next for Nicki in her 2022 year was a headlining performance at the 2022 Essence Festival, something she delivered on Friday night. Her set made headlines thanks to some comments she seemingly made about Kanye West on stage.

After a 45-minute delay, Nicki hit the stage and performed “Do We Have A Problem?” before switching off to fan favorites like “We Go Up,” “Did It On ’em,” and “Beez in the Trap.” Next, the DJ play “Monster,” Kanye West’s highlight 2010 single that features Minaj, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, and Bon Iver, but Nicki had other plans. “A monster though!” Nicki said to the crowd. “A monster though! But we don’t f8ck with clowns.” After that comment, the DJ got the message and went to the next song.

The moment left many wondering if there’s an ongoing issue between Nicki and Kanye, and if so, what it could be about. Many believe that it has to do with Kanye’s recent collaboration with Cardi B for “Hot Sh*t” as Nicki and Cardi have been at odds for quite some time. Others noted that Nicki’s frustrations with Kanye shelving their celebrated “New Body” track with Ty Dolla Sign might have been a factor behind her comments.
