Our little mermaid is now a mother who revealed her precious baby boy in a late-night Instagram post that sent fans (and everyone else) into a FRENZY.

The singer/actress, 23, announced that she and her boyfriend DDG, 26, are the parents of a son, Halo, in a now-viral post that skyrocketed to over 3 million Likes.

“Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son…” The Color Purple star captioned the a photo of her hand holding that of a infant’s adorned with a gold bracelet that reads “Halo.”

She also added a snarky shot at fans who constantly pieced together clues to determine whether or not she was pregnant, trolling or both.

“Welcome to the world my halo, the world is desperate to know you.” Oop!

DDG also followed up with a post of his own announcing Halo’s birth that read: “my biggest blessing by far, son son.. never been so in love. baby halo”

Just hours before Halle announced the birth of their son, DDG hinted at the baby’s name in a new song.

In “Darryl Freestyle” he raps: “Silver spoon kid, I know Halo don’t want for nothing / He crying, his mama coming, she stronger than Wonder Woman / Could’ve let this city chew me up, but I stayed 100 / That’s the main reason when they beef me them n***as plummet.”

Naturally, fans were confused about whether or not the known troll was trolling but it’s clear that he was not.

Also worth noting is the rapper/youtuber posting a sonogram on April Fool’s Day 2023 that absolutely NO ONE believed at the time. Oh DDG, you sinister lil menace, you.
