From Hollywood to Home: Black Voices in Entertainment
Latto got the baby girl she was hoping for.
Just hours after fans connected lyrics from her new song “Mama” to the birth of her first child, the rapper shared a series of photos featuring her daughter.
The images showed Latto posing beside a vintage pink baby carriage and holding her baby girl, who was dressed in a pink outfit. The post appeared to confirm what many fans had already suspected after listening to “Mama.”
On “Mama,” Latto opens up about motherhood and reveals that she welcomed a daughter, something she previously said she hoped for during her pregnancy.
At one point in the track, Latto raps, “Now you look just like your daddy, but you got my curls. Can’t believe my life right now, I feel on top of the world. Should’ve seen my face when they told me it’s a baby girl.”
The lyrics quickly caught fans’ attention and sparked conversation online about the baby’s gender. The newly shared photos appear to put any remaining questions to rest.
The reveal serves as a full-circle moment for Latto. Earlier in her pregnancy, she told GloRilla that she was keeping her baby’s gender a surprise until birth but admitted she wanted “a girl so bad.”
“I can see myself with a girl,” Latto shared with GloRilla.
“I’m a girl mom,” she continued. “I don’t wanna watch Transformers. I wanna watch like the Disney princess movies. Yeah. I don’t know what to do with a boy.”
Latto also kept the identity of her baby’s father private throughout much of her pregnancy.
However, after announcing the birth of her child earlier this month, she confirmed that 21 Savage is the father in a video chronicling her pregnancy journey.
Shortly after sharing the clip, which included moments from throughout her pregnancy and footage of the pair together at their baby shower, 21 Savage posted a newborn photo on Instagram.
The image showed their baby, whose face was cropped out of the frame, lying on a cream-colored blanket while wearing a white Arsenal onesie.
“We Did It!!!!!!!!!” he captioned the post.
