DDGis thinking back on how a past April Fools' joke went over everyone’s heads!
The father of one, 26, reposteda tweetthat he shared on social media exactly one year ago today.
“Can’t wait to be your dad,” the “Going To The Top” rhymer wrote along with a photo of an ultrasound image on April Fools' Day 2023 on X (formerly known as Twitter). On Monday, he retweeted the message, adding a new one: “Would make the same april fools joke as last year but that mf might come true again.”
His original tweet came one month before the release of his girlfriendHalle Bailey’s feature film debut in the Disney live-action remake ofThe Little Mermaid.
However, after months of speculation that followed, Bailey, 24,announced the birthof the couple’s first child.
“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.. welcome to the world my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world is desperate to know you 😉🤣♥️,” the actress captioned a Jan. 6Instagram post.

AtESSENCE’s Black Women in Hollywood Awardsin March, Bailey, who was one of four honorees for the ceremony, opened up about why she kept her pregnancy private.
“We are Black women in entertainment, and although we signed up for the challenges of the spotlight, in this current climate, that spotlight burns brighter, hotter, and uninterrupted, whereas the scrutiny of its magnification leaves no concealment,” she said before the attendees.
The “Angel” singer added that being in the “spotlight over the past eight years” has caused her to get “burned” before.
