Sexyy Red chose her maternity shoot to reveal her baby daddy to the world. Fans have speculated about the father’s identity since the “SkeeYee” hitmaker announced her pregnancy last year.
On Thursday night (January 11), Sexyy Redd shared her recent maternity photos, including some shots with her baby daddy. However, she made sure to conceal his face so the unnamed man couldn’t be identified.
Sexyy Red seemingly instantly regretted her post. Shortly after unveiling her unborn baby’s father, she took the photos down and shared a message in her Instagram Stories. “Yal messy,” she wrote alongside a thumbs-down emoji.
Sexyy Red Struggled To Hide Pregnancy On Tour
Earlier on Thursday, Sexyy Red opened up about hiding her growing bump while on tour with Drake.
“When nobody knew I was pregnant, I’d be in the back room like tryna suck my stomach in or wear clothes to show that I wasn’t pregnant,” she explained to Billboard. “And I had to practice my breathing — like before I’d go on stage, I had to hold my stomach in and look at myself and be like, ‘Can they tell?’ Once I just was like, okay I can’t keep hiding it ’cause it hurt to just be on stage all day holding your stomach in, so I’m like, just forget about it.”
She continued, “I was pregnant on the Drake tour and the Moneybagg [Yo] tour but nobody knew. People started suspecting it on the Drake tour because there was videos and pictures of me coming out. That’s the only reason I was hiding it because I just wanted me and my family and friends to know.”
Last year, the St. Louis native caused confusion over her relationship status after previewing her song “Bow Wow Wow (F My Baby Dad).” She tried to set the record straight, but her update did little to clear up the uncertainty.
“If my baby daddy’s in jail and I always say ‘free my baby daddy,’ but now I’m saying ‘fk my baby daddy,’ do y’all really think I’m pregnant by a n#### in jail?” she asked. “Like, how do y’all think that works? We grown; I want y’all to use y’all antennas. Stop playing stupid. It’s getting annoying.”
