The rapper uploaded one image which saw her wearing a pink and blue bra top with an electric blue wig and lime green accessories, and another which showed her wearing a yellow wig and flowered bikini as she reclined on a sofa cradling her bump.

In the final image, the 37-year-old looked incredible in a garden scene, wearing a long white outfit which featured cut-outs for her bump and her right leg.
