DJ Boof stirred the gossip pot and fueled rumors that Nicki Minaj may be pregnant, but later he hopped on IG Live to say he doesn't know anything about the rumors.

As if things in Nicki Minaj's camp could get any more controversial this week, a comment made by DJ Boof was the icing on the cake. DJ Boof has a long, established career in hip hop, and he's even worked alongside Nicki as her DJ while on tour. After the rapper shared a revealing photo from the set of the "Trollz" video with Tekashi 6ix9ine, millions of people commented on and liked the picture. There have been rumors floating about that Nicki Minaj is pregnant, but she nor anyone from her camp has confirmed the gossip. Then, Boof commented on her image, "Am I still deejaying the baby shower," leaving many to believe that the Queen rapper is indeed with child.

However, DJ Boof returned to Instagram to clear up a few things on Live. "I don't know what you talkin' 'bout," DJ Boof said. "Who knows if she's pregnant or not. I don't know nothing. I haven't seen this woman in a very long time. I don't know nothing." He looks through the comments and answers someone by saying "no." Boof reads someone else's comments that said he's fired.

"I'm not fired. Why would I be fired? What the f*ck would I be fired over? What are you guys talking about? I don't know what you talkin' 'bout," he added. "Aight, Imma say one last thing... Why would I post something, and I just took it down because I don't want people going around spreading rumors and gossip and I was just saying stupid sh*t. That's like saying, 'Hey, um, am I still gonna DJ your wedding?' Knowing that she got married already. I'm just saying. Think about it." Check out DJ Boof explaining away his baby comment below.
