Nicki Minaj sparks concern with bizarre video after possible divorce announcement: ‘I hope she’s OK’

Fans shared their concern for Nicki Minaj after she uploaded a troubling video talking about her personal struggles.

Fans shared their concern for Nicki Minaj after she shared a troubling video talking about the struggles of motherhood.

In the clip shared on social media Tuesday, the Anaconda rapper seemed to be recalling when she gave birth to her and husband Kenneth Petty’s son, nicknamed “Papa Bear,” in September 2020, Page Six reports.

“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, he comes out a beautiful baby boy. To God be the glory,” she whispered into the camera.

“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.”

Additionally, on Monday, Minaj — born Onika Tanya Maraj — cryptically tweeted, “Yes Single …,” which sent her fans into a frenzy because they did not know if she was talking about new music or a possible divorce.

Page Six reached out to Minaj’s rep but did not immediately hear back.

Nicki Minaj appeared to be crying in the clip.

The rapper also looked drowsy in the bizarre video.

While it’s unclear what the Barbie World rapper is dealing with, her fans sent her love and support online.

“i just woke up and seen nicki insta story, that made me tear up @NICKIMINAJ i hope you okay sending you love and prayers and hugs,” tweeted one user.

“i honestly hope she’s okay. #WeLoveYouNicki,” added another.

“Ummm that Nicki Minaj video was very worrying and I hope she’s able to get out of whatever situation she’s in safely,” tweeted a third person.

“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,” wrote a fourth fan.

Minaj and husband Kenneth Petty have been married since 2019.

Petty, 46, and Minaj tied the knot in October 2019.

Last November, the Moment 4 Life singer revealed things “got testy” between her and her husband following the birth of their baby boy, which occurred during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I’m not going to lie, things got testy between us,” she told Vogue in her December 2023 cover. “Because of our history, I think we knew we’d get past it. But there’s no such thing as confidence in parenthood.”

The couple welcomed their son in 2020.

She added, “I kind of wish that someone had told me — although I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able to understand it — that there’s a level of anxiety, and you think it’s going to go away, but in fact it gets scarier.”

In addition to being new parents, Petty has made headlines for a string of legal issues.

The registered sex offender was convicted of attempted rape in the first degree in April 1995 for assaulting a then-16-year-old girl, for which he served more than four years in prison.

And in September 2023, he was placed on house arrest after threatening Offset, the husband of Minaj’s foe Cardi B.

Minaj is currently embarking on the second leg of her Pink Friday 2 world tour. She has a concert slated for Tuesday night in Copenhagen, Denmark.
