It's a slow news day, so we're reduced to this: US rapper Kanye West  announced at a concert last night that he and his girlfriend Kim Kardashian are expecting their first child.

“Now you having my baby," West sang to the crowd of more than 5,000 at the Ovation Hall at Atlantic City’s Revel Resort.

The crowd roared. As you do. And the world was united in joy.

West also asked concert goers to congratulate his "baby mom", adding that his news was the "most amazing thing".

The rapper and reality TV star went public about their relationship in March.

Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries in August 2011. Their divorce has yet to be finalised.

Below: Kanye breaks the news. Warning: The sound in this video is AWFUL.
