Pound the alarm, Barbs, it’s Nicki Minaj‘s birthday … and TMZ is celebrating by looking back at some of her hottest photos from her stellar career.

Nicki is 43 years old as of today, and she’s never been one to shy away from the cameras — far from it — so we’ve got plenty of hot shots to pore pour over.

The result is a gallery that checks all the boxes … and you just need to click through to see all of Nicki’s looks over the years, of which there are many.

Literally everything is content nowadays … “The Originals” star Candice King turned her pregnancy announcement into an ad for Clearblue pregnancy tests in a post shared Monday.

The 38-year-old actress announced she’s expecting a baby with her former costar Steven Kreuger, writing, “#ClearbluePartner We’re having a baby! Baby Krueger coming May 2026!”

Seeing as how the post leads with a sponsored hashtag, you might wonder which thing she’s happier about — the new addition, or that sweet, sweet pregnancy test money. But then she added …

“There’s nothing more magical than seeing the word pregnant 🩵Thank you @clearblue for providing us with a clear result in words, during a moment that left us speechless and overjoyed! The best gift we could hope for this holiday season. #ClearblueConfirmed” … and now we’re pretty sure it’s the cash.
