While everyone was watching Super Bowl XLIII, singer Erykah Badu and rapper/producer Jay Electronica became the parents of a brand new baby girl on Sunday (February 1).
Both gave updates, via their official Twitter pages, with Jay doing most of the tweeting.
"My first child, my daughter, was born at 1:30 p.m. exactly. It's the happiest day of my life," Jay wrote in a text.
He also gave updates before, and during labor. "Getting closer. She says she feels like she's ready to push," he wrote, before updating a couple hours later with "I see the head. Full of hair."
According to Erykah, it was a home birth. She used no pain killers, and the labor took around five hours to complete.
"I can't believe it's over," she wrote.
While the name is yet to be confirmed, Erykah wrote in a text that the baby's name is "Twitty Milk."
The couple's relationship has been relatively low-key. However, last year, the two were the subject of criticism by fans over Badu's relationship history. In addition to the new baby, Badu also has children with rappers Andre 3000 of Outkast, and west coast rapper The D.O.C.
Despite the negativity, the two seem happy.
Congrats to the happy couple from the BallerStatus.com family.
