Nicki Minaj does not appear to be in a very positive place at the moment.
Late on Monday, the rapper addressed the camera via Twitter while wearing a silk turban and a night gown.
For whatever reason, she delved at the time into giving birth to her son back in 2020, explaining to listeners:
“One day, they’re yelling ‘push’ and you’re in pain. Then one day, comes out a beautiful baby boy.”

Minaj then grew a little bit quiet, whispering into the camera:
“Thank God your glory.
“Congratulations to him and my ma up there, you’re doing a great job. In case no one’s told you that, you’re doing a great job.”
This is a very nice sentiment, of course. On its own, Minaj is just thinking back to her labor and delivery and acknowledging her late mother.

But there’s another aspect of this story that has fans and followers both concerned and curious.
The video, you see, was shared hours after divorce rumors began to circulate on social media because the Grammy winner shared a cryptic post online that simply read:
“Yes single.”
Perhaps Minaj was just watching a baseball game and cheering a team on.
Or perhaps she was teasing a forthcoming song.
But more than likely, she was referring to the union between herself and her controversial husband Kenneth Petty.

Petty is a level two registered sex offender in New York who spent several years in jail for both attempted rape in the first degree and first-degree manslaughter.
He and Minaj got married in 2019.
After moving to California to be with Minaj in 2020, Petty failed to register as a sex offender in that state… for which he was sentenced to house arrest and probation in 2022.

Minaj supporters are unsure what to make of Minaj’s recent messages.
“Just saw Nicki’s IG story and now I’m worried and I don’t even know what’s up with her,” said user @Bunbarbive, for example.
“She’s scaring me,” wrote someone else.
Added a long-time fan and user:
“I’m so worried about nicki i pray she’s doing ok and finds the strength to guide her through whatever it is she’s going through right now. She’ll forever have my support and love.”
