Nicki Minaj, who sparked pregnancy rumors after calling Meek Mill her "baby father" during a concert, confirmed that she is not pregnant and lovingly uses the nickname to refer to her closest male friends, according to TMZ.

Sources close to Nicki say she uses the phrase "baby father" all the time. She's already used it twice on this tour, but it's not the same as "father of my child." It's just a term of endearment for those close to the "Anaconda" singer. Minaj has also called Lil Wayne her baby daddy in the past, even though they're just pals.

"Make some noise for my baby father," the rapper said while Mill raised his hands excitedly in the air as he joined Minaj on stage at a concert over the weekend, as HNGN previously reported.

Last year, Minaj expressed her desire to get married and have a kid, in that order.

"If I'm done with my fifth album and I don't have a child by then, no matter how much money I have, I would be disappointed, as a woman, because I feel like I was put here to be a mother," the 32-year-old said, according to Complex.

"I have definitely put off the wife thing because I don't want people in my business. I'd rather not do anything that's going to be on paper but I definitely will be married before I have my baby. I want to make sure I do it in that order."
