The retired rapper thanked her fertility doctor, Dr. Obehi Asemota, in the gallery caption: “BLESSINGS all 2023. @hopefertility thanks so much.”
Da Brat was the first solo female rapper signed to Jermaine Dupri‘s SoSo Def Records in the 1990s. She is best known for her debut, platinum-selling album, Funkdafied (1994). The album sold over 1 million copies.
In an interview with Variety magazine in March 2020, Da Brat explained why it took her 25 years to come out as a lesbian when every fan on the planet already knew.
