Earlier this year, Nicki Minaj broke the internet announcing that she was expecting her first child with husband, Kenneth Petty. Nicki Minaj then left social media and on October 1, news broke that Nicki Minaj gave birth to her first child on September 30.

Now that the international superstar has given birth, social media is fired up with even more reactions than the initial postings from Minaj. & honestly, I might be slightly (okay, more than slightly) emotional that she is now a mother. Though Nicki has yet to take to social media (as of 3:30 EST) to confirm the gender of the baby, a lot of fans are hoping that they baby is a girl. Take a look at some of the reactions.

We can’t wait to see wether the baby is a boy or a girl, but in the meantime, we’ll be soaking up the fact that Nicki Minaj is a new mother. Congratulations Nicki and Kenneth on the birth of the new baby! What do you hope the baby is? Any name guesses? Let us know in the comments section below or on our social media.
