Nicki Minaj has shut down rumours that she Photoshopped her latest Instagram picture.

A number of fans seemed suspicious that a snap of Minaj and fiancé Meek Mill had been altered because her stylist’s thigh appeared to be curved.

But the rapper explained to fans that she had actually questioned the person who took the photo, posting a screen shot of their text conversation.

The photographer, Alex Loucas, confirmed to Minaj that the curve was simply a shadow and nothing had been photoshopped.

Minaj captioned the screen shot: “Lol why did I actually text @grizzleemusic about this? yall so damn crazy. I was like we don't need to do that.”

While the 32-year-old was quick to dispel photoshopping rumours, she is yet to speak out about speculation that she is pregnant.

During a concert in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, Minaj welcomed other half Mill onto the stage by introducing him as her ‘baby father’.

While many excited fans took this to be a pregnancy announcement, the star has yet to confirm or deny anything.
