Polarising Cali rapper Lil Xan has announced that he’s set to become a father, mere months after splitting up with his previous girlfriend.
If you’ve been paying attention to the world of hip-hop over the last couple of years, you might have heard of divisive rapper Lil Xan.
Despite being only 22, the rapper who is known to his parents as Nicholas Diego Leanos, has managed to release one full-length album (with another on the way) and a mixtape within the last year, with a number of EPs also under his belt.
While Lil Xan has managed to attract quite a fanbase, the rapper has also divided fans of the genre, infamously calling Tupac Shakur’s music “boring”, and rating the late icon a mere two out of nine.
However, fans are now a bit shocked at how quickly the rapper has moved on in his love life, announcing that he’s having a child with his girlfriend of just a few months.
Back in September, it was revealed that the rapper had broken up with then-girlfriend Noah Cyrus (known to many as the youngest sister of Miley Cyrus).
While Cyrus claimed that their relationship was the “biggest mistake”, Lil Xan managed to move on rather quickly, announcing in December that he was in a relationship with longtime friend Annie Smith.
Now, the pair have both taken to Instagram to announce they’re expecting a child later in the year.
Taking to Instagram earlier today, Lil Xan echoed Annie Smith’s Valentine’s Day message to her boyfriend, revealing that the pair are set to become parents.
“Wanted to wait but i just can’t leave my fans in the dark,” he began “It’s official, I’m going to be a father.”
“I love you guys so much and hope you stay along for this crazy journey and I’ve never felt more happy in my life,” he continued. “All of you are invited to the gender reveal party, I promise!”
“To my baby, my angel, my sunshine [Annie Smith]; I love you with all my heart. Thank you for saving me, I love you more then words could describe.”
The news also comes just days after Smith had alluded to the fact that the pair will likely be getting married in the near future.
While we do wish all the best for the future parents, we just hope Lil Xan teaches his child responsible life lessons, like not eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos until your stomach lining ruptures.
