So Happy for lil’ Wayne! Luv him! I heard the mom is R&B singer Nivea. Congrats to them!

I still am in shock but I always wondered if he wanted more kids after all.I still don’t know if this could be Nivea but who knows they have been kicking for a while now and are in love.I hope he’s treating her great because I heard he did her wrong last time.

It sounds like he is taking all the credit for it and forgetting that the woman carried the baby for 9 months and then went through labor and delivery. His part was easy.

I like Beverley’s comment. I always think that same thing when I see names like that.

Just so you guys know, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy had a baby. I saw it on the news today. It would be nice since you posted when Jets head coach had a baby.

CONGRATULATIONS LIL’ WAYNE!!!
Beverly, How does it sound like he’s taking all the credit? All he said is his son is about to be born any day now. Stop hating and congratulate……

I don’t think anyone would suggest that all the credit would be the man’s. We all know it’s not.

i think that’s a bit rude to say it sounds like he’s taking credit. first, unlike other celebrities, some like to keep their private life a secret – whether that be being mum about the pregnancy until you want to address the rumors or concealing the identity of the mother. if you lead into, then no one will ask. besides, naming is a two way street and it runs in families to have jr’s, II, IV….

congratulations man you’re awesome.
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:41 am
Congrats to Lil Wayne and family! I live in Cincinnati and my son was born at Christ Hospital. I had a great birthing experience there and no doubt mama and baby are receiving excellent care!

The mother is actually a 22 year old student who lives in Ohio. I thought it probably wasn’t Nivea because she’s from Atlanta and the baby was born in Ohio for a reason. Got this from TheYBF.com, and she’s right about 99% of things.
Also, I don’t think Wayne’s age and/or his daughter’s age is correct because I know he had his daughter when he was 15 or 16, but the ages listed have him becoming a father at 18. Toya was 14 when she gave birth.

The baby is by a pretty non-celeb asian girl in Ohio.
The singer Nivea (whom he was enaged to years ago) has since married and had her own baby.

It’s a blessing everytime a new little one comes into the world and I hope he has a happy and safe life, but ummm…..as a mother to seven kiddos, Lil Wayne just disgusts me. Ever listened to or read the lyrics to his songs? Nasty…..
