Rapper, model and singer Nicki Minaj and husband Kenneth Petty welcomed their first child Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
Minaj gave birth in Los Angeles, People and TMZ reported. The baby’s gender and name were not immediately released.
The Grammy-nominated artist announced her pregnancy on Instagram in July, saying that she was “overflowing with excitement & gratitude.”
Minaj and Petty wed in October 2019. They had previously dated as teenagers and sparked up a relationship after reconnecting in 2018, Us Weekly reported.
Their relationship has not been entirely without controversy. In March, Petty surrendered to federal authorities after failing to properly register as a sex offender following a 1995 first-degree rape conviction, USA Today reported.
Minaj has consistently slammed critics of her relationship with Petty.
