  • Nicki Minaj welcomes first child with husband

    Nicki Minaj welcomes first child with husband

    Nicki Minaj has welcomed the arrival of her first child with Kenneth Petty, her husband.

    The 37-year-old rapper gave birth to her baby on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

    The new parents are, however, yet to state the gender or name of their bundle of joy.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Minaj in July had announced that she was expecting her first child while sharing a trickle of photos showing her in what seemed to be a two-piece sporting a baby bump.

    In one of the photos, the ‘Good Form’ crooner can be seen wearing a tiny showy bikini and a bright yellow wig — posing on a pink chair and showing off her brightly made-up face.

    In September 2019, Minaj had given fans a shocker when she announced she was retiring from music to start a family with Petty — in a decision that elicited mixed reactions from music lovers.

    “I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE,” she had written.

    Popular singer, Simi who welcomed a daughter earlier this year has stated that contrary to what many believe, her daughter’s name is not ‘Duduke’.

    Simi made this known during an Instagram Live chat with her fans on Sunday.

    The ‘Jamb Question’ singer said: ““My baby’s name is not ‘Duduke’. ‘Duduke’ is the name of the song I wrote for my child. ‘Duduke’ is the sound of a beat. That is where the title of the song came from. My baby’s name is Adejare, not ‘Duduke’. I love the fact that the song has become a trend and people can connect it.”

    When a fan asked her why she hasn’t been showing her baby’s face, Simi said: ““When are you seeing my baby’s face? I don’t know. It will be when I feel like. You guys already know how I am with social media.”

    The singer also noted that she was open to working with popular rapper, Olamide. She said, “Olamide is a leader in his own right. Collaboration with him won’t be a bad idea.”
