Some of her roughly 28 million followers on Twitter questioned if Nicki was addressing her relationship status or hinting at new music.
‘So are we getting a new single or are you single,’ one fan asked, as another shared: ‘We love you no matter what, idc if you’re single or dropping a new single.’
‘Yet another congratulated Nicki on an apparent self-promotion tactic, posting, ‘Dear rap girlies , this is how you pull a PR stunt. literally two words and she ate.’
The enigmatic post was made after her husband Kenneth petitioned a court to approve him leaving the U.S. in April, as he remains on probation for his 2021 conviction of failing to register as a 𝓈ℯ𝓍 offender.
Kenneth stated in court documents reviewed by TMZ that it’s crucial for him to join Nicki on her European Pink Friday 2 tour to accompany their son.
The probation officer overseeing Petty’s case – stemming initially from his first-degree attempted rape conviction in April 1995 – ‘hasn’t raised any objections to his travel request,’ the outlet reported, citing court docs.
Kenneth made headlines last September when he received a 120-day house arrest sentence for violating probation after posting social media clips containing aggressive messages towards Migos rapper Offset.
Nicki, meanwhile, has been dealing with the fallout after she was arrested last month on suspicion of possessing soft drugs in the Netherlands.

While live-streaming the arrest, the rapper claimed that airport security tried to get her to make a ‘statement with no lawyer present’ after finding ‘pre-rolls’ in ‘bags that they were not authorized to take.’
A police spokesperson later confirmed that a 41-year-old woman had been arrested for ‘possession of soft drugs.’
Nicki has since rescheduled her concert in Manchester after missing the show while still in custody in Amsterdam.
Nicki and Kenneth got married in October 2019.
