Nicki Minaj is pregnant.
Taking to Instagram today, the “Pills N Potions” performer revealed that she has a little one on the way with a duo of posts flaunting her baby bump. In the first image, Minaj posed up in an embellished bra top with chain detailing and a pacifier as an accent. She teamed the top with a pink string bikini bottom.
The real highlight of Minaj’s ensemble was her footwear. The A-lister opted for soaring see-through platform heels with feathers, beading and pearl-like detailing to match the rest of her bold ensemble. The shoes appeared to add about 7 inches of height to the 5-foot-2 star’s frame. Similar shoes are available from Pleaser; styles retail for $94 on Walmart.com.
The announcement caused a quick frenzy on social media, with Minaj’s Instagram post racking up a whopping 2.5 million likes in less than one hour. She captioned the photo simply: “#Preggers 💛.”

On her feet, she sported the same sky-high heels. Minaj pulled together the ensemble with a blue wig, featuring a neon green bow.
Minaj may be known best as an entertainer, but her resumé in the fashion space is pretty impressive, too. In 2017, she inked a modeling deal with Wilhelmina’s celebrity division. Then, last year, the “Chun-Li” artist collaborated with Fendi on a capsule collection, titled “Fendi Prints On.”
