Although Minaj has yet to confirm the assumptions, many of her celebrity friends have already offered their well wishes. Among those to congratulate Nicki on her next chapter were La La Anthony, model Winnie Harlow, and Christina Aguilera. Love filled messages also came in from Kimora Lee Simmons, Naomi Campbell, Juicy J, Noreaga, Evelyn Lozada, Nene Leakes, and Mack Maine, among others.

Minaj announced on the August 12 episode of her Queen Radio show that she had filed for a marriage license and had expected to be married within two months. 

“We’ll definitely do the paperwork portion of the marriage, but the actual wedding, I don’t know,” she said, adding that she wasn’t sure she wanted to throw a lavish ceremony. “You know when you’re a little girl, and you want this big beautiful wedding, and I used to think I was one of those girls, I always wanted the fairytale. But then the things that used to matter to you don’t matter as much.”

Congratulations to the newlyweds!
