Nicki Minaj trolled the world with a pregnancy announcement

"I was gonna wait to share the news but..."

The news of Beyoncé's pregnancy was, for most folks, a lot to handle.

With emotions high and tears in abundance, Nicki Minaj decided that a few days after Bey's infamous maternity photos would be the perfect time to share what looked to be her own announcement with the world. She posted an Instagram picture over the weekend of her caressing what seemed to be a baby belly.

"Y'all so childish Omgskibbidybopbopghjhddfnjj - I was gonna wait to share the news but...," she wrote, after using the hashtag #ATBIMS—a hint to her popular line, "all these bitches is my sons."

Everyone pretty much had the same initial reaction.

If this Instagram post is news to you, take a second to breathe deeply—Nicki was probably just pranking us all. As some fans pointed out, she would have a hard time becoming visibly pregnant overnight, especially after posting photos of herself just a week prior with no bump.

But while the world might not be ready for the blessings of a mini-Minaj today, with the help of Photoshop, some fans have continued to prep for the day real news drops.

We can't wait.
