Nicki Minaj, Trinidad-born rapper, has officially announced her marriage to Kenneth Petty, her childhood boyfriend.
The award-winning singer took to her Instagram page on Tuesday to break news of the union to her nearly 107 million followers.
Minaj shared a clip showing hats which read “bride” and “groom” and mugs that said “Mr.” and “Mrs.”
“Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10•21•19,” the caption read, in what appeared to be her new legal name and the date she made it official with boyfriend Kenneth Petty.
Fans and friends, including Christina Aguilera, congratulated the rapper in the comments section.
The newly married couple obviously kept the wedding ceremony off social media as it was largely unreported in several media outlets, until she broke the news on Tuesday.
TheNewsGuru recalls that Minaj recently announced her retirement from the music scene to pursue family life.
“I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE,” she had written.
