Veteran rapper Gucci Mane and his wife Keyshia Ka’oir announced that they’re expecting. 

The couple announced the exciting news via Instagram. The bun in the oven will be their second child, as they have one-year-old, Ice Davis.  

“Let’s Have Another Baby ICE Needs Somebody To Play With,” Keyshia wrote on Sep 9. Her post’s caption was about Gucci Mane’s song, “Mrs. Davis,” also dedicated to Keyshia Ka’oir. The song was released on Jun 3.

Gucci’s Parenthood

Gucci opened up about what it felt like being a father again after Ice was born. 

“It’s a great thing, and I love it, but it’s definitely challenging to be a parent,” he said. “I always want my music to talk about what was going on in my life. The most important thing in my life now is my son.”

The Atlanta rapper has been busy living his best life and promoting his artist’s music.  Last month he released his latest song, “Dissin’ the Dead,” which went viral due to its lyrical content. In it, he warns rappers to stop dissing dead people and talks about the consequences it comes with. 

As previously reported by FM Hip Hop, Gucci “[expressed] his regret over popularizing the trend of disrespecting fallen enemies. He also calls for the young generation to follow his lead. A visual crafted by Omar, the Director, accompanies the song. In it, Gucci Mane posts up in a cemetery while wearing hoodies commemorating Trouble and Young Dolph. 

Coincidentally, the track dropped on Wednesday, which would’ve been Dolph’s 37th birthday…Gucci Mane isn’t the only rapper to change his stance on disrespecting the dead. Last year, Lil Durk promised to stop the practice after the deluxe release of The Voice. Florida rapper Julio Foolio followed not long after, calling it ‘childish.'”

This July would be a treat for music and rap lovers of the world. On Sunday May 22, the Atlanta rapper Lil Baby  announced he will release his new album in July. He made this announcement on Twitter. However, he chose to remain mysterious regarding the release date of his album in cryptic tweet, “something will be happening in July” with some flame emojis. He did not reveal exact date.

Lil Baby’s Last Album My Turn Is His Biggest 

Lil Baby already delighted his fans across the world by releasing music videos like “In A Minute,” “Right On” and “Frozen.” In 2020, his album My Turn debuted at No.1 on the US Billboard 200, earning 197,000 album-equivalent units. His coming new album would be a follow up of his previous one. In the meantime however Lil Baby uploaded a picture of himself sitting with massive piles of cash loaded on his lap on Instagram, saying, “this summer’s mine.” 

Lil Baby’s Collaboration with Ja Morant

Earlier this year on May 7, this Atlanta rapper collaborated with Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies superstar and Beats By Dre and released “Dark Mode,” a brand new single from Baby shot in black and white during Game 3 of the Grizzlies Western Conference semi-final series against the Golden State Warriors. Memphis basketball fans and Memphis’ rap  community admired Lil Baby for Morant’s play. 

Journey of Lil Baby as One Of America’s Leading Musical Artists

Lil Baby’s journey in the music world is similar to most of rappers in USA. Atlanta’s Dominique Jones was in prison for some time. One day he was released from prison and he geared all his attention into rap. He is no longer attracted to thrills of streets. His album My Turn demonstrated his musical abilities with improved technical skills and song writing capabilities. The project became the biggest streaming week of 2020. Three projects he released in 2018 landed in the Top 5 Street Gossip hit No. 2, Drip Harder with Gunna landed at No. 4 and Harder Than Ever peaked at No. 3. In 2021, this Grammy-nominated artist teamed up with Lil Durk and they released album titled as The Voice of the Heroes, it also became no.1 on the US Billboard 200 with 150,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.

Lil Baby is certainly the most sought after rapper in the mainstream rap. He is one of the leading musical artists of hip-hop’s new generation.

Lil Wayne

Live on Instagram, Nicki Minaj asked Lil Wayne some personal questions

Nicki Minaj got on her Instagram live with special guests, one being Lil Wayne. This came shortly after a teaser for a big announcement she was planning to make. Many fans speculated she had an album in the works after her post-partum hiatus. The announcement was not a new album (sadly) but instead to reveal her remix with BIA on the single “Whole Lotta Money.”

During Nicki’s live, Lil Wayne joined her to chat and discuss a few personal topics. Wayne reveals he did not marry model Denise Bidot despite rumors circulating. After talking about that, Nicki questioned him about his favorite sex positions. The bold question surprised many fans and viewers; however, Wayne did not hesitate with his response.

“On top. In any part of life, period. In not just the bedroom, just on top.”

Is anyone surprised that someone as successful as Lil Wayne prefers an equally successful woman, in and out of the bedroom?

Nicki responded to Wayne’s response by joking about his answer, “I be forgetting he’s so f**king smart, and then it’s always a double entendre,” she said. Considering what we know about Knowing Nicki and Wayne’s relationship, it is no surprise that she would make fun of him and ask personal questions. His answer, of course, did not disappoint the viewers!
