Keith joked about the bill being an unknown amount of money but did say “the customer service was fantastic.” He continued, “We not only received full lodging, food, 24 hour bedside service, and I had a half a bed slash a couch that I can sleep on. And on top of that, the chef at the hospital found out we was there and he brought a full course meal just for me and my wife.”

Keith emphasized the importance of supporting Black women, expressing gratitude for their Black female doula and doctor. “I can’t say thank you enough. It’s so important that we support Black women, we embrace Black women, and we protect Black women,” he said.

Lee ended his post giving his new 7 pound bundle a joy a 10 out of 10, telling fans that he and his family might be MIA from social media for a while as they settle in to life with a newborn.
