Sexyy Red Announces She’s Pregnant, Says She Was ‘Tired’ of Pretending She Wasn’t

Congratulations are in order for Sexyy Red, who surprised fans on Sunday (Oct. 15) when she revealed on Instagram that she’s pregnant.

In a series of photos, the “SkeeYee” rapper poses with SZA, who is seen kneeling next to her and showing Red’s baby bump, which is seen peeking out through a black, deep-V neck jumpsuit. “Team boy or team girl,” Sexyy Red captioned the post.

Over on her IG Stories, Sexxy Red showed off recent photos where she was pregnant, but sucked in her stomach to hide the bump. “I was pregnant asf on here trona suck my belly in,” she captioned a photo in which she was wearing red booty shorts and a white crop top. “I got tired of fakin.”

The star has previously mentioned having a son in her interviews and songs.

It’s been a breakout year for Sexxy Red, whose hit “SkeeYee” topped the inaugural TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart, dated Sept. 16. The song follows the rapper’s breakthrough hit “Pound Town 2” (with Tay Keith and Nicki Minaj). Released in June, the song was initially aided by a trend in which users whipped their hair during the St. Louis rapper’s “skeeyee” ad lib, although many of the uploads to date have utilized the song in general videos, whether for comedy clips or otherwise.

“I am so excited that so many of my songs are charting on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart,” Sexyy Red told Billboard at the time. “I always knew I would be a No. 1 type of artist, so I want to thank all my fans on TikTok for running my music up! I’m just being me on TikTok and people love it.”
