While today’s announcement truly felt like a gift from above, let’s not forget when Beyoncé first told the world she was pregnant with Blue Ivy at the 2011 VMAs. After a performance of “Love on Top,” Bey literally dropped the mic and rubbed her belly, a simultaneously subtle yet totally epic way of showing off her pregnancy to the world.
Kanye West
Back in 2012, it was Kanye who announced the news of Kim Kardashian’s first pregnancy. At a show in Atlantic City, Kanye stopped the music and told the crowd to “make noise for my baby mama!”
