Nicki Minaj Congratulates Rihanna On Pregnancy, 'Money Can't Buy This Joy!'

Nicki Minaj is congratulating Rihanna on her just-announced pregnancy with A$AP Rocky, telling her the joy of having a child is something money just can't buy.

The 'Anaconda' rapper shared the emotional message on Instagram, sharing a set of photos that have been making the rounds of Rihanna's baby bump photo shoot. It appears the two stars set up an announcement, complete with pictures of Rihanna's belly showing from under a jacket.

"So happy for you mama ?? conquered the world already. Given so much. Nothing left to prove. you deserve your own little gift now. Different level of joy that money can’t buy," Nicki captioned the photos. 

Obviously, she is referring to the fact that both women are at the top of their industries, are super-wealthy, and are in long-term relationships with their significant others. Plus, Nicki just experienced the unconditional love of motherhood and is telling the 'Umbrella' singer just how great it's going to be when the baby is here.

As we reported, Rihanna debuted her bare baby bump during an outing in A$AP's hometown of Harlem, New York.

As we said, it appears the photos were a setup by the couple and included RiRi sporting a long pink jacket, closed by one button, and a pair of ripped jeans. But, the coat was open enough to show her bare belly pushing through and was complemented by a long necklace that hung over the baby bump. During the outing, the couple stopped at one point, and Rocky kissed his girlfriend on the forehead. Awww...

Earlier this month, eyewitnesses say the couple hit up NYC restaurant Carbone, and RiRi was scene openly rubbing her baby bump, and drinking sparkling water. "At one point she got up and had to maneuver the bump around the side of the table," a person told Page Six.

Interestingly, there have been several photos taken of the singer in the past few weeks -- but, smartly she is wearing baggy clothing most of the time. Normally, celebrities wait until the second trimester to reveal their pregnancies based on the reality of making sure the baby is healthy before having to answer any questions. It's unclear how far along Rihanna is in the pregnancy, but rumors began in November when she accepted the National Hero Award in her native Barbados in a tight-fitting gown.

A$AP Rocky opened up about having children with Rihanna, in a past interview, saying, "If that’s in my destiny, absolutely. Nah, but like, I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very."

The rapper gushed about his "girl" in the same interview, saying, "So much better when you got the one. … She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the one."

As we said, Rihanna and Rocky haven't officially issued a statement about the pregnancy but decided to allow a company to release the photos of her baby bump. We expect to see a lot of it in the next few months!

Stay Tuned...and Congratulations!
