NBA star Zion Williams is expecting a daughter with his girlfriend, Ahkeema. The New Orleans Pelicans star announced he’s going to be a father in a video on social media.
“If you don’t know anything else in this world, know that mommy and daddy love you,” Williamson said to his unborn child in the video.
Zion and Ahkeema held a gender reveal party for family and friends in New Orleans on Saturday.
“Thank you God for blessing my family with an addition,” Ahkeema wrote on Instagram. “We will give her unconditional love, guidance, protection, and a family. We are so grateful for baby Williamson.”
Meanwhile, Black women are overjoyed that Zion knocked up a sista.
“At least she’s not white,” wrote one Twitter user, referencing the fact that most Black NBA players have white partners.
“Congrats. Beautiful black family,” a user wrote on YouTube.
But others say Zion was “trapped” by a 30-year-old woman who’s already mom to another man’s child.
One person wrote: “Zion she turning 30 and alternating [sic] got a kid wit another dude what u doing bro?”
