Fans who have seen Nicki Minaj on her Pinkprint Tour have come back with rave reviews--but some thought they might have a little more information than others. At several recent concerts, Minaj has reportedly referred to Meek Mill, the former Philadelphia battle rapper and current Drake antagonist, as her "baby father." From there, it's not much of a leap to think that the "Anaconda" star might be hinting that she's expecting a child. Ever the voice of reason, TMZ says we shouldn't jump to such conclusions. The entertainment site cites sources close to Minaj who say that, while Meek is "in it for the long haul" and wants to have children, the couple isn't having kids just yet, and "baby father" is just a term of endearment Nicki likes to use.

Though Nicki is the bigger star in the relationship, Meek has grabbed more than his fair share of headlines lately. His sophomore album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, debuted at #1 on Billboard. But when Drake, who appears on the song "R.I.C.O.," didn't tweet any promotional links to the album, Meek called him out for employing ghostwriters, going so far as to name the scribe and lean on help unearth reference tracks. The beef has yielded three full diss tracks, one from Meek and two from Drake, and while public opinion has certainly favored the famous Canadian, Meek has continued to rattle off disses at concerts. For her part, Nicki is still touring off last winter's Pinkprint, which featured a bevy of hit singles.
