Throw your hands in the air if you want to see sweet snaps of Da Brat and Benjamin Ashfordwife Jesseca "Judy" Harris-Dupart's baby boy.
The pair shared the first images of their newborn son, True Legend, on social media.
In a series of pictures posted to Instagram Aug. 10, the 1-month-old is seen lying with his eyes closed, dressed in grey sweats and a grey beanie. As for his spot-on accessories? Well, in a nod to one of his musical moms, he held a microphone in one hand and a boombox in the other.
Da Brat and Judy captioned the joint post, "It was only right."
In addition to sharing the adorable photos, the "Funkafied" rapper, who welcomed True on July 6, reflected on her first month of motherhood.
"Look, this came out of my stomach," Da Brat told People in an interview published Aug. 10 as she pointed to the sleeping infant. "I cry every day. I just look at him and boo-hoo, because I'm so grateful."
The rapper got emotional while detailing her journey, sharing, "I'm 49, I'm high-risk, I have high blood pressure. So many women so much younger than me want kids and can't have them, and I had a successful pregnancy. It's just an honor. He's such a blessing."
True made his way into the world after Da Brat underwent in vitro fertility (IVF) treatments using eggs from Judy along with sperm from an anonymous donor. After miscarrying once, Da Brat became pregnant with their son. (Judy is also mom to three children from a previous relationship.)
"I think God plans out our journey," Da Brat said. "I'm very happy He saw fit for me to have him."
Shedding light into the process of her scheduled cesarean section, the Brat Loves Judy star recalled of receiving an epidural, "I never want to do that again, but for him it was worth it."
And although the "Hands in the Air" artist is now sittin' on top of the world, the star admitted she "panicked a little bit," while giving birth. Luckily, her wife was by her side to lend a calming hand.
"I asked her to play Biggie [Smalls], but that wasn't helping, so she played our love playlist," Da Brat confessed. "I was able to relax and not think."
As for how the birth of True has brought the moms together?
"He made us closer," Da Brat, who wed Judy in 2022, told the outlet. "We always change his diaper together."
Something the hip hop mogul doesn't take for granted.
"Who would ever think this? Da Brat-a-tat-tat from 1994!" she quipped. "I'm with a beautiful, successful woman who completes me and inspires me to be better. I'm elated to be a mother. I never thought I would be, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I never need another thing in life."
