The news was broken by several news houses, who reported that the rapper welcomed her baby in Los Angeles.
The gender of the baby is currently unknown. Nicki herself has not spoken publicly about her baby so the baby’s name is unknown as well.

“Children are a gift from the Lord. They are a reward from Him,” Pslams 127:3,’ she ended the post. ‘Let us rejoice!.”
