Nicki Minaj is giving her fans a treat.

The rapper shared a never-seen-before picture from her maternity shoot with the legendary photographer David LaChapelle. “Archive pregger pic -special request from the Barbz cuz I owe them a lot right now & I’m tryna hold them off for a lil while longer love you ..”

She spoke more about the photo and. answered some questions from her fans via Twitter. She explains the concept behind the shoot. She tweets, “honestly, most of the pregger pics (post Bey) had a floral vibe so I posted the Harajuku theme— which felt more unique to my journey. The other MAJOR reason was that this one felt so naked to me & during my pregnancy that made me feel rlly uncomfortable.”

When a fan asked what her reaction was when she found out she was having a boy, she explains, “we were really praying for a boy & when we found out, we were just so overwhelmed with gratitude. Now he’s a cute lil KungFuPanda who also thinks he’s an elf who can fly  he literally did the “move” & tried to fly out of his playpen when I wouldn’t take him into the studio.”
