Rapper Waka Flocka Flame dropped major baby news on Instagram while ringing in his 40th birthday, revealing he's expecting his first biological child—a boy named after him.
Waka, real name Juaquin James Malphurs, shared a snap of an oversized wooden “J” inscribed with “Juaquin Jr.” and captioned it “Just waiting for you to come home Jr. Best gift a man could ever ask for.” He also reposted a story gushing about holding and smelling his newborn. The announcement came on Sunday, May 31, right as he hit the big 4-0. Fans flooded the comments with love, calling it the perfect gift and hyping his daddy era. This marks Waka’s first biological child, though he’s long been a father figure to ex Tammy Rivera’s daughter Charlie. The teen even jumped in to comment “My baby already lol 😍,” signaling she’s ready for big-sister duties. Sources note he’s been in Charlie’s life since she was four and recently helped her buy her first condo.
