Nicki Minaj has welcomed her first child with 42-year-old husband Kenneth Petty.
The Barbie Queen gave birth on Wednesday in Los Angeles, according to a report from TMZ.
The gender of the child and the name have not yet been made available.
The 37-year-old performer announced in late July she was was “preggers” and has since shared many photos of her baby bump on social media.
To announce her pregnancy, Nicki uploaded a snapshot of herself and Kenneth to her Instagram page on July 20.
In the post, Nicki cradled her full baby belly while dolled up wearing a curly yellow wig, embellished bikini, and sparkling platform heels, writing: ”#Preggers [yellow heart emoji]”.
Nicki shared a more introspective caption in another post, writing: “Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes”.
Rumors that the rapper was expecting have been swirling around since before she and Petty wed in 2019.
Her husband was likely by her side during the delivery. In August it was reported that Petty was allowed to travel with Minaj “periodically on business trips as her manager”, which will ensure he is present when she goes into labour.
Other pretrial conditions will stay in place, meaning Petty cannot use illicit substances and he will continue to wear an ankle monitor.
Petty is currently awaiting trial after being arrested for failing to register as a sex offender when he moved to California to be with the Queen rapper.
He submitted a request to alter his pretrial release conditions, which only allowed him to travel within California.
