Nicki Minaj gushes over Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's pregnancy announcement

Nicki Minaj has gushed over Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's new baby news.

The Anaconda hit maker shared Rihanna's baby reveal snaps that have gone viral and tagged her pal on Instagram.

"Congratulations RIH!!!!!" she wrote in a story.

She also shared a snap of A$AP gently kissing Rihanna's forehead as the Umbrella hitmaker proudly displayed her blossoming bump.

She also added lots of praying hand and heart-eye emojis for extra effect.

Rihanna revealed her baby news to the world on Monday during a freezing walk with boyfriend A$AP Rocky in New York City.

The We Found Love singer was photographed wearing a bright pink vintage Chanel coat that she had open to reveal her baby bump.

Despite temperatures dropping to a freezing -4 in the city, Rihanna sacrificed her body temperature in the name of a pretty dramatic pregnancy reveal.

The star wore gold chains that draped over the bump and a Chanel belt that wrapped around her light blue distressed jeans.

Rocky was seen with his arm around Rihanna who beamed with happiness as they strolled through his native Harlem.

Every inch the cool dad, A$AP wore a pair of baggy leather trousers that he teamed with black Dr Marten type boots.

He opted to be a little warmer than RiRi though and wore a V neck knitted jumper and an oversized denim jacket.

The pair allegedly started dating after the singer split from her ex-boyfriend, Hassan Jameel.

Throughout the 2010s Rihanna and A$AP had been pals but stepped it up to the next level when they went on a romantic holiday together to Barbados.

A$AP also spent Christmas with Rhianna's family.

A source told People in December: "They've been inseparable the past few weeks. It's a new relationship, but they both seem very into it."

Rihanna has been working hard to cover her bump in the recent weeks with an array of oversized coats and American football shirts.

She was spotted wearing an £124 Martine Rose Supersized football shirt as a dress for a dinner out with her beau.

Just days later the singer was at it again with another American football jersey as she carried a bad of food from Deliveroo.

She added a pair of Prada opera gloves and covered her bump with a Goyard clutch bag.

Earlier this month Rihanna wore a huge orange Teddy coat over a pair of camouflage trousers and a large fleece jacket over leggings.
