Nicki Minaj says she's not pregnant

Nicki Minaj says she is not pregnant with Meek Mill's baby. Yes she called Meek her “baby father" on Saturday in Pittsburgh but sources close to her say she uses the phrase "baby father" a lot, that she has used the term at least twice on this tour, but it's not the same as "father of my child."

They say it's just a term of endearment for those she likes. She's even referred to Lil Wayne as her baby daddy in the past, even though they're just friends. She maintains that there will be a wedding first  before they have a baby.
