“There’s a lot of transitional things happening in our lives, and it’s very, very symbolic at this point in time right now,” the Raising Kanan and Mr. Robot actor said in the interview, remarking that he and Serayah are at the “beginning of a new chapter,” as they enter their 30s.
For the singer and model, she first revealed that she was pregnant as she walked the runway for AdoreMe during New York Fashion Week in February of this year. “The stars just aligned. We didn’t coordinate or plan anything out,” she said to ESSENCE, continuing: “I disclosed to them that I was, I think at the time, around five or six months pregnant. When they said that they were fine with it, I was like, ‘Okay, well maybe this is the opportunity, and this will be the moment.”
Joey Bada$$ also shared how prior to meeting Serayah, he was comfortable being polyamorous. “That was where I was at in my life at the time,” he said. “I was very much living a lifestyle of a bachelor and it just aligned with what I was doing. But I met Ray, I bought a home, and it just changed my perspective. It definitely shifted, and the dynamic that I wanted changed. So I’m very much monogamous now, and I don’t discourage or disagree with anybody going after polyamory or whatever if that’s what you want to do. But this is where I’m at now and this is where I feel secure.”
The Pro Era rapper already has a daughter from a previous relationship, who he said was reluctant about having a sibling at first. “I think she’s like, ‘I got to share my daddy now?’ But I already know she’s going to come around,” he added. “She’s going to be super hands-on.”
The interview’s publication comes at a principal time for Joey Bada$$, as he’s currently engrossed in a torrid rap battle with MCs repping the West Coast in Ray Vaughn, Daylyt and AZ Chike. He’s also confirmed that there will be a new album on the way, with an expected release date of Aug. 30.
