Nicki Minaj Pregnant: The Rumor & The Truth About Her Family

Is
Nicki
Minaj
pregnant?

After
recent
whispers
about
another
child
on
the
way,
fans
are
reminded
of
how
guarded
the
rapper
often
is
about
her
family
life.

Considering
some
of

her
choices,
that
is
no
surprise.

Here
is
everything
that
we
know
about
Nicki’s
family,
children,
and
more.

What
is
Nicki
Minaj’s
real
name?

Nicki
Minaj
was
born
on
December
8,
1982.
Her
real
name
is
Onika
Tanya
Maraj-Petty.

The

-Petty
hyphenate
is
a
byproduct
of
her
unfortunate
marriage
to
Kenneth
Petty,
her
childhood
sweetheart
and
now
her
husband.
He
is
also
a

convicted
sexual
predator.

Though
Nicki
previously
dated
noted
hottie
Safaree
Samuels
and
then
another
rapper,

Meek
Mill,
Petty
is
the
father
of
her
child.

Who
is
Nicki
Minaj’s
son?

In
July
of
2020,
Nicki
took
to
her

Instagram
page
to
announce
that
she
was
pregnant
with
her
first
child.

Kenneth
Petty,
her
husband,
was
the
father.
The
two
had
dated
briefly
in
high
school
but
“lost
touch.”
(He
went
to
prison
for
attempted
rape
when
he
was
a
teenager)

On
September
30,
2020,
Minaj
welcomed
her
first
child.

What
is
her
son’s
real
name?

Following
his
birth,
Nicki
has
avoided
revealing
her
son’s
name.

Instead,
she
refers
to
him
by
a
nickname
—
“Papa
Bear.”
Sometimes,
she
simply
refers
to
the
wee
one
as
“Papa.”

In
August
2022,
Nicki
gave
a
shoutout
on
stage,
saying:
“I
have
a
new
baby.
His
name
is
Papa
Bear
and
I
love
him.
Papa
Bear,
I
love
you
so
much.
Mommy
loves
you
so,
so,
so,
so,
so,
so,
so
much.”

Is
she
pregnant?

In
late
2024,
rumors
that
Nicki
Minaj
might
be
pregnant
circulated.
And
not
for
the
first
time.

She
had
previously
posted
edited
photos
that
appeared
to
show
her
with
a
baby
bump.

These
images,
though
convincing,
were
part
of
a
promotional
campaign
for

Pink
Friday
2
(Gag
City
Edition).

As
far
as
we
can
tell,
there
has
been
no
conclusive
evidence
of
an
actual
pregnancy
after
Papa
Bear’s
birth.

Is
Papa
Bear
her
only
child?

It
is
absolutely
conceivable
that
Nicki
could
have
become
pregnant
again
and
hidden
the
pregnancy
and
concealed
the
existence
of
a
second
child.
This
can
happen.

However,
there
is
no
conclusive
evidence
of
anything
of
the
sort.
It
is
most
reasonable
to
conclude
that
Nicki
has
only
one
child.

When
a
popular
rapper
is
on
hiatus
from
music
and
touring,
fans
are
naturally
going
to
speculate.

For
now,
it’s
only
speculation
—
without
proof.
