Hey 2012, Kanye West is going to let you finish, but not before dropping some big news. The rapper announced early Monday that girlfriend Kim Kardashian is pregnant with his baby.
Rumors started flying online after West apparently interrupted his own performance in Atlantic City, asking the crowd to "make some noise for my baby mama." The video above, which captures the moment, was uploaded to YouTube shortly after the announcement.
Other members of the Kardashian family quickly tweeted their support, confirming the news. E! News also gave confirmation, reporting that Kim is roughly 12 weeks pregnant.

Will the baby be named after a color or a fruit? They could pick Orange and kill two birds with one stone. Let us know your pick for baby names in the comments below.
