Much speculation has surrounded when XXXTentacion’s son would be arriving, and now the late rapper’s mother Cleopatra Bernard has confirmed the birth of his son, Gekyume.
Via Instagram stories, Bernard posted “Yume has officially arrived.” The late rapper’s girlfriend Jenesis Sanchez reportedly gave birth to a baby boy this past Saturday. This comes after a collaborator of the late rapper—John Cunningham teased the arrival of the newborn, saying “It’s baby week.”
The family issued a statement on the baby boy’s name, saying “Gekyume's name is derived from a word X created prior to his passing, which means 'a different state' or 'next' universe of thought. XXXTentacion specifically chose this name for his first-born son; his family is honored to fulfill his wish and shower baby Gekyume with love.”
