Roommates, let’s get into the latest pregnancy speculations on the internet! Rashida Nicole and LiAngelo Ball have social media users questioning whether MissNikkiiBaby was right about Nicole baking a bun in her oven. Ball’s new boo fueled the rumors on Monday (April 7) with her poses in a series of new photos. The surprise drop came ahead of her birthday on April 8.
To be clear, neither Rashida nor LiAngelo have addressed whether Nicole is actually pregnant. In fact, Gelo hasn’t reposted or replied to the images his girlfriend shared. Still, their supporters (and a few trolls) are sounding OFF in her comment section after she uploaded the six images to her Instagram feed.
Rashida Nicole Poses Like THIS In Photos With LiAngelo
The first flick shows Rashida resting her hands on her bare stomach in that classic baby-bump-grip pose—one hand on the belly and the other below! She posed in the same way in the third photo in her carousel post. Her second photo was of LiAngelo sitting, looking off into the distance with a smile. Additionally, Rashida included a video of the Pucci swimsuit she wore, a side profile of her face, and lastly, a photo from the back of her and LiAngelo holding hands.
Photos aside, Rashida Nicole’s caption on the Instagram post also riled up the rumors. She wrote, “1 of 1🖤🥰♈️🎉❤️🔥💙💙💙…. Let’s try this again 😮💨😏.” On her IG Stories, she reposted her carousel post with Latto’s song ‘Big Mama’ attached.
As mentioned, Rashida Nicole’s comment section was popping off with speculations that the photos were a soft launch for her alleged baby bump.
@braids_by_alexis wrote, “This baby will definitely have some beautiful melanin!!”
“Popped out pretty and pregnant,” @blk80sbby added.
“Wowww! My Shida is really pregnant 😍 ready for the shower,” @thelushlex commented.
@annabelles1 said, “Too cute Shi, can’t wait for the new addition.”
“Congratulations!! You look beautiful,” @shaybradley commented.
@eve_0527 wrote, “Congratulations men act right for who they want and he clearly chose you . Y’all look happy and healthy .. Enjoy your man and baby on the way.”
“Congratulations!!!!!!! May God continue to bless you,” @joy_jizzle.
Amid the congratulatory messages and endless emoji love, some users sent Rashida warning shots about LiAngelo and karma possibly spinning the block on them.
@ali.danyelle1 wrote, “Honey you lose em how you get em.”
“Imagine thinking you the price and thinking this will keep him. We all just wait and see,” @kknnb_va_h said.
What MissNikkiiBaby Previously Said About Rashida Nicole’s Alleged Pregnancy
Back in February, Nikki alleged that LiAngelo texted her that Rashida was pregnant amid their breakup. She called the manner in which Ball told her the news “coward, pathetic sh*t.” For context, Nikki Mudarris and Gelo have two children together: a son, LaVelo Anthony, and a daughter, LaNiyah Nicole. The former couple welcomed their daughter in December 2024.
“The same way you get them is how you lose them, thinking you winning by getting pregnant with a man who has a newborn is crazy work,” MissNikkiiBaby wrote on her IG Stories in February.
Rashida clapped back at Nikki at the time, calling her and her family racist and defending LiAngelo against child abandonment claims. However, she never cleared up what MissNikkiiBaby said about being pregnant. Neither did Gelo.
After The Shade Room shared the videos of Rashida going IN on Nikki, she slid into the comment section with more words.
“Karma is a b***h. Who thinks they winning doing this to someone who just has a baby not even 2 months old. I never addressed YOU. I addressed my baby father. PPD is real and I pray to heal from this. My kids and I deserve better ❤️ trying to assassinate my character when I’m the victim is absolutely insane,” MissNikkiiBaby wrote.
Nikki has yet to respond to Rashida Nicole’s baby bumpin’ pose. However, hours before Nicole dropped the photos, the mother of two shared a lifestyle post on IG Stories. It read, “Trips. big bags. more love. new experiences. happiness & peace.”
Rashida Isn’t Letting Up Off Of Gelo
In the last few weeks, Rashida hasn’t been shy about flexing her romance with LiAngelo Ball— despite criticisms from the internet and MissNikkiiBaby. Though Gelo has been subtle with social media posts featuring Nicole, he is ALL OVER her Instagram feed. In mid-March, she shared footage of him gifting her a customized G-Wagon “just because.” That same weekend, she popped out with him to support his Rolling Loud set.
On March 29, she flexed a gold Audemars Piguet watch, seemingly another lux gift from her new man. In a second post that same day, she shared a carousel post of photos outside of a sprinter van. The post included a quote that said, “My man really my best friend fr.”
While MissNikkiiBaby has been enjoying outside, including a viral courtside link-up, she’s also peeped Gelo’s energy for his new lady. Last month, the mother threw additional child abandonment jabs at her children’s father after he gifted Rashida the new vehicle.
