Nicki Minaj has confirmed the birth of her first child, welcoming a baby boy with her husband Kenneth Petty.
Earlier this month, a source told PEOPLE that she welcomed the newborn – but the rapper had remained silent on the birth until now.
Taking to Instagram today, Nicki shared a series of messages from some famous friends, including Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé, who congratulated her on welcoming the newborn.
She wrote: “Thank you to Queen B, Kim & Ye, Riccardo Tisci, Winnie, Karol & everyone who sent well wishes during this time. It meant the world to me.”
“I am so grateful & in love with my son. Madly in love. My favorite liddo boy in the whole wide world. 🥳🧸🎁🎈,” she added.
Announcing her pregnancy in July, Nicki shared a series of photos to Instagram cradling her baby bump.
“Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes. 💛” she captioned one of the photos.
In another she simply wrote: “#Preggers 💛”
Obviously, people are excited about this news. For years, the Queen has been rapping about having hypothetical sons in the rap game and, finally, she can say that she has an actual son of her own.
Congratulations to Nicki and Kenneth!
