Is Trina pregnant?

Fans began speculating like crazy that our homegirl was in a family way at the BET Awards Sunday night at the Microsoft Theater in L.A.

Trina took to the stage rocking her curves in a tight red bodysuit, along with matching gloves and boots, to perform some of her greatest hits. The 44-year-old Liberty City native was moving like she always does, and her voice, on point.

Soon after her set, the Internet went nuts speculating that she was preggo.

On Twitter, a rumor monger posted a snippet of her walking across the stage, with the caption in all caps: “TRINA IS PREGNANT.”

Commenters were mixed. Some thought everyone needed to back off and that this was no dramatic reveal a la Rihanna at the Super Bowl; others were ready to pop the champagne.

“A baby bump looks different, that’s just a lil gut,” wrote one sage soul.

“OMG! Congrats Trina!! So excited to see you slaying the stage with your baby bump,” gushed another.

Final answer? The rapper’s rep tells TMZ: “She is not pregnant despite fans’ speculation following her performance at the BET Awards. Just like any other woman, her weight fluctuates. She is asking for fans to just move on from this.”

And she’s not likely to be having a baby anytime soon, at least not with a partner. Trina — who was briefly engaged to local rapper Ray Almighty — is single and “vibing.”

In January, she told Yung Miami on an episode of Revolt’s “Caresha Please” podcast that she also has fertility issues, suffering three miscarriages.

“That was a lot for me,” Trina admitted. “The first one was — I don’t think I really understood it too much. I was younger, younger. Then once I got older, then there was the next one I was like ‘OK, what does that mean? What does the miscarriage mean?’ Like I just didn’t really get it. Then, it just became a point like, third miscarriage. OK.”
