Hours after announcing he’s expecting his first child, Waka Flocka returned to X with a brief faith-focused message—while he celebrated his 40th birthday and shared a photo revealing the baby boy’s name as “Jaquin Jr.”
Waka Flocka didn’t stay quiet for long after his life-changing announcement. Hours after he revealed he’s expecting his first child, he returned to social media with a short message that reads like a reset button—faith first, no debate.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, the rapper posted Sunday, May 31, to his more than 1.6 million followers. The timing carried extra weight: he was also celebrating his 40th birthday, and the baby news dropped just hours earlier. On the platform, he wrote, “Put God before 1st no questions asked.”
“Put God before 1st no questions asked.”

Instagram offered more of the story behind the announcement. Earlier, Waka posted a wooden cutout shaped like the letter “J,” with the name “Jaquin Jr.” printed on the base. In the caption, he wrote, “Just waiting for you to come home Jr. Best gift a man could ever ask for 🤲🏽👨🏽🍼 I walked 40yrs on earth!!”.
He also used the moment to pay tribute to his late little brother, Kayo, on Instagram.
Still, one major piece of the announcement remains missing: Waka Flocka hasn’t disclosed who he’s expecting his first child with. That keeps the relationship details unclear.
Waka was last publicly linked to a woman named Melanie. In January 2024, he posted on Instagram showing himself standing next to her in front of a helicopter. Soon after, criticism of Mel prompted Charlie—Waka’s ex-wife’s daughter—to speak out and clear the air. By March 2024, fans speculated that Melanie was throwing shade at Tammy, per The Shade Room.
Where that connection stands now, and how it fits into this new chapter, is still not confirmed.
The sequence is straightforward but loaded: Waka’s birthday celebration came first. then the announcement on Instagram that a baby boy is on the way. then a return to X with a brief message focused on putting God first. What’s not simple is the unanswered question hanging behind the photo—who the baby’s mother is. and whether the public story around Melanie continued beyond what was seen in 2024.

Putting God first is cool but why is everybody acting like it’s not also kinda personal business lol.
Wait Jaquin Jr??? I’ve never even heard that name. Thought he meant like a sequel or something.
So he posted Melanie and then Charlie talked and now baby news… it sounds like Melanie is still involved? Like why else would they mention her if it’s not that lady. Also “Put God before 1st” is weird wording, but I get the vibe.
I swear this dude just posts faith stuff when the drama gets loud. Like maybe the baby mom is Melanie but he’s “not disclosing” to keep it quiet. The 40th birthday + newborn timing feels planned for attention tbh.
