Before delivering his “baby” Montero on Sept. 17, Lil Nas X is celebrating with a pregnancy shoot. In the pics, Nas cradles his fake baby bump while wearing a flower crown by the pool. He also shared a sonogram and a TikTok video announcing his pregnancy.

Nas came up with the idea for the shoot after listening to Megan Thee Stallion’s verse on his new song “Dolla Sign Slime.”

“I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is amazing,’ so I immediately called my stylist,” he told PEOPLE. “She was like, ‘Wow, this all comes together. Your album. Your baby.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, this is my baby, huh?’ As a joke, she was like, ‘Yeah, you should do a pregnancy shoot.'”

“I was like, ‘You know what? That’s actually brilliant,'” he added. “So now we have this entire thing coming out, and it’s going to be amazing.”
