Super bass? More like super ring!

Just a few hours after Nicki Minaj teased engagement news on Twitter Wednesday by sharing a diamond ring emoji with the words, "I'll post it later," the rapper has now revealed the bling up close .

As it turns out, it's quite the stunning piece from Meek Mill!  

"This looks like a 15-carat fancy yellow heart modified brilliant cut diamond mounted in platinum with a double halo of white pavé diamonds," Morgan Shara of MASbisjoux jewelry told E! News. "This would retail for approximately $500,000..."

Shara added that the ring "looks like the natural fancy colored diamond trend that is continuing full steam ahead."

A source also confirmed to E! News that the duo is in fact engaged. "Both Meek and Nicki have been spending amazing quality time together lately and have gotten extremely close these past few months," the insider shared. "It may seem like it all is happening very quickly but Nicki and Meek are in this 100. They truly love each other."

Perhaps all the clues that something serious went down were all over Twitter. On Monday evening, Mill shared a yellow heart emoji on Twitter. The next day, his girlfriend captioned a photo from Miami with the words, "I wish every night could feel like last night." 

But wait, there was more!

A Twitter follower reached out to Mill where the user wrote "@MeekMill you so f--king lucky n---a"  The rapper's response was a short but sweet, "I am."

The romance rumors started back in February when Minaj shared a picture of Mill kissing her on the cheek. Since the PDA moment surfaced, the twosome has been spotted on several dinner dates together.

"I definitely will be married before I have my baby," she recently told Complex magazine. "I've always felt like that since I was young; my mother always put that in my head. She also told the publication that by the time she released her fifth album, she "will  have walked down the aisle" and will "at least be on baby number one, possibly baby number two."

It matches up with what our source revealed once the engagement rumors surfaced. "Nicki and Meek have discussed family and children," the insider shared. "They are both on board as soon as they get married."

For now, all that's left to say is congratulations you two on the very happy news!
