Meek Mill had an important message to send when he posted that baby bump pic of girlfriend Nicki Minaj. He desperately needed their fans to know something, according to a source who spoke to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY! Find out after the jump!

Meek Mill‘s message? Don’t mess with his girl! No, Nicki Minaj is not pregnant, a source confirmed to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Meek is just getting back at the haters who dared to somehow find flaws in her flawless figure at the VMAs!

“People were trolling Nicki after the VMAs saying she looked pregnant. Instead of blasting them Meek thought it would be hilarious to punk them,” the source told us EXCLUSIVELY. “He put that pic up just to f**k with people and get them riled up, and it worked.”

Smart man! The photo freaked a lot of fans out who couldn’t believe that Nicki was pregnant. After all, she was just at the VMAs in that magnificent, tight blue gown on the red carpet, and performing alongside Ariana Grande onstage in a latex leotard. Where did she even have room for the baby bump? It was really bizarre to see Nicki posing in the mirror, cradling a baby bump in her hands, when she looked to be in the late stages of pregnancy — just five days after her VMAs appearance.

Nicki’s old squeeze Drake — and Meek’s mortal enemy — called that this was a prank from the moment the pic started circulating. He was really happy for Nicki if it turned out that she was actually pregnant, a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, but he wasn’t holding his breath for the birth announcement! The couple has a history of pulling off funny pranks, and they’re just at it again!
