Roommates, Loni Love recently had to learn the hard way that you should always think before you tweet. Loni sent Nicki Minaj fans into a tailspin when she congratulated her on the birth of her first child—and tweeted that it was a “baby girl” without actually knowing if it was true.
As Nicki Minaj fans were flooding social media with well wishes following the news that she finally gave birth to her first child with husband Kenneth Petty, “The Real” co-host Loni Love jumped the gun by falsely revealing the baby’s gender.
In a tweet that she has since deleted, Loni Love wrote:

After her tweet quickly went viral, she followed up with this clarification:
“I deleted my first tweet about @nickiminaj because I don’t know the gender…my old a** thought I saw she had a baby girl…the gender is not known yet…congratulations Mommy and hubby!!! #auntieloni”
As we previously reported, sources have revealed that Nicki Minaj gave birth to her and Kenneth Petty’s first child on Wednesday in Los Angeles. At the moment that baby’s name and sex have not been revealed just yet.
Nicki first announced that she and Kenneth were expecting back in July. She released a few photos from her maternity shoot as she showed off her adorable baby bump. She thanked her fans for the well wishes after revealing that she was expecting and said, “Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes.”
