After revealing that she gave birth four weeks ago, Ashanti explains the meaning of her son’s middle name.
It was revealed that Ashanti and Nelly welcomed their first child together a baby boy named Kareem Kenkaide Hayes on July 18. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about her son’s middle name and said, “Kincaid is my dad’s name and obviously my dad has only girls, you know? So Nelly was just like, ‘I think that would be really, really dope,’ you know. And this was all his idea.”
She was then asked who does the baby look like more. “In the beginning, he was definitely resembling Nelly more. But now, oh my gosh, he’s my twin. This little boy has my entire soul wrapped around his finger, you know. So it’s, it’s an incredible feeling.”
The “Rain On Me” singer shared that she had given birth after posting a video and photo of her body four weeks postpartum. “Funny how life’s plans aren’t…always on time… lol,” she wrote. “I’ve been waiting to be a mom for a long time now but nothing could prepare me for EVERYTHING motherhood brings!”
