"Looks just like his mama and dad," a fan replied. "Awwwwwwww him so adorable. Barbie and Ken did that!!! Literally Looks like both of y'all," remarked a fourth.
Nicki shocked fans back in July when she announced her pregnancy whilst in her third trimester.
While the baby's name remains a mystery, the mother-of-one recently admitted that she nearly named him Ninja.
"You know what his name was supposed to be? I think l might still change it," she told fans on her fan radio. "A lot of people said they liked it, but I said, 'Nah.' His name was going to be Ninja."
"I changed it at the last minute," she added.
