The world of hip hop was taken by surprise on Friday when Bhad Bhabie, the 20-year-old rapper also known as Danielle Bregoli, announced that she is pregnant with her first child. The news came as a shock to many of her fans, who have followed her controversial journey since she shot to fame with her appearance on the Dr. Phil show in 2016.
Bregoli confirmed the news by posting two mirror selfies on her Instagram account. In the photos, she can be seen wearing a tight white T-shirt that only partially conceals her growing baby bump. With minimal makeup and a casual outfit consisting of gray sweatpants, she gave off a relaxed and content vibe. The lack of a caption only added to the intrigue surrounding the announcement. Speculation had already begun among fans the day before when she was spotted in Beverly Hills covering her stomach.
During the outing in Beverly Hills, Bhabie took precautions to protect her privacy. Sporting black leggings, a hoodie, and sneakers, she strategically hid her midsection with a Louis Vuitton bag, all while a paparazzo attempted to ask her questions. Her boyfriend, Le Vaughn, also seemed intent on shielding her from prying eyes. Together, they made a concerted effort to keep the media at bay.
Bhabie and Le Vaughn, whose full name is yet to be disclosed, began dating in 2020. Rumors of their commitment to each other surfaced when TMZ reported that they had tattoos of each other’s names. Bregoli further solidified their relationship by posting a picture of them sitting courtside at a basketball game, with Le Vaughn’s hand placed lovingly on her leg. The caption, “Happy birthday baby,” hinted at the affection and celebration they share.
Ever since her memorable appearance on Dr. Phil, Bhad Bhabie has amassed a massive following on social media platforms. With almost 16 million followers on Instagram and over 100 million “likes” on TikTok, she has become a cultural icon. Her debut single, “These Heaux,” made her the youngest female rapper to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2017. However, in recent years, Bregoli has pivoted her focus to OnlyFans, where she reportedly earned a staggering $50 million between 2021 and 2022.
As Bhad Bhabie embarks on this new journey into motherhood, it remains to be seen how she will balance her role as a rapper, influencer, and now a parent. The news of her pregnancy has undoubtedly sparked curiosity and interest among her followers and critics alike. Bregoli’s ability to generate headlines and maintain her relevance in an ever-evolving industry will be put to the test, as she now enters a new chapter of her life.
