Is Nicki Minaj single? Is she splitting from husband Kenneth Petty?

On Monday, June 10, whilst on her Pink Friday 2 tour, Nicki Minaj tweeted that she was 'single'. Fans were confused by this cryptic tweet as they believed the 'Super Freaky Girl' rapper was either going to drop a new song or she had split from husband.

However, some fans assumed it was the latter after Nicki shared a video talking about the struggles of motherhood.

"And then one day, they’re yelling ‘push’ and you’re in pain,” the 41-year-old drowsily said while wearing a white robe and a pink satin bonnet on her head.

"Then one day, comes out a beautiful baby boy. Thank God for your glory."

Congratulations to every mama out there, you're doing a great job. In case no one's told you that, you're doing a great job," continued Nicki in the cryptic video.

The rapper, who married childhood sweetheart Kenneth Petty in 2019 and had son Papa Bear a year later, were reportedly living apart last year amid rumours of a split. However, tabloids reported that the reason for their rumoured separate living arrangements was due to Kenneth's felony charges and lawsuits.
