Waka Flocka returned to social media with a short message just hours after revealing that he is expecting his first child. The rapper shared the post on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday, May 31, 2026, as he celebrated his 40th birthday. In the message, he wrote, “Put God before 1st no questions asked,” a statement that appeared to reflect a focused and thankful mindset during a major moment in his personal life. The post came after he had already announced that he is preparing to welcome a baby boy, which marked a significant milestone for the artist.
Earlier that day, Waka Flocka made the announcement on Instagram by posting a wooden cutout shaped like the letter “J,” with “Jaquin Jr.” written on the base. Alongside the image, he celebrated both his birthday and the news of his future child. In his caption, he described the baby as “the best gift a man could ever ask for,” while also noting that he had “walked 40yrs on earth.” The post quickly drew attention from fans who reacted to the surprise reveal and the personal significance of the moment.
Waka did not share any additional details about the baby’s mother, leaving that part of the story unclear. His private life has drawn public attention in the past, especially because of his previous relationship history. In early 2024, he was publicly connected to a woman named Melanie after posting a photo of the two together in front of a helicopter. That appearance prompted discussion online, and members of his family stepped in at the time to address some of the criticism surrounding her.
Later that year, speculation continued when some fans believed Melanie may have posted subtle comments aimed at Waka’s ex-wife, Tammy Rivera. Despite the online chatter, no clear update was given about where that relationship stood afterward. As of the latest posts, it remains unknown whether Waka is still involved with Melanie or if someone else is the mother of his child.
In addition to the pregnancy announcement and his birthday messages, Waka also paid tribute on Instagram to his late younger brother, Kayo. The tribute added a more emotional layer to what was already a meaningful weekend for the rapper, as he reflected on family, faith, and the next chapter of his life.
The sequence of posts showed Waka Flocka in a reflective mood, balancing celebration, gratitude, and remembrance. For fans, the weekend marked a rare and personal glimpse into his life beyond music, as he marked turning 40, honored his brother’s memory, and shared the news that he is preparing to become a father for the first time.
