The rapper married Jesseca "Judy" Harris-Dupart last year.
Da Brat is having a baby!
The rapper shared the unexpected news in a recent interview with People, admitting that it was something she hadn’t really planned on prior to marrying her wife, Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart.
“I never thought I was going to have kids,” she said. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”
But a joke about “extending our family” in regards to a collaboration between the two launching a hair product line caused Da Brat and Harris-Dupart to start thinking about bringing a kid of their own into the picture.
“I started looking at life so differently. I was like, I want a little me with you. Something special from the both of us that we can share and raise and love unconditionally,” the rapper explained.
Da Brat and Harris-Dupart were married last February, just two years after the “Give It 2 You” artist finally felt comfortable enough to come out.
“I was always told you want to be f—able to men and women to sell records — you don’t want anybody to discriminate,” she told Variety at the time, noting that it had been her decision to stay in the closet for 20 years. “I mean, you saw what happened to people like Ellen: Remember when she lost her TV show, and all these horrible things were happening? People were totally against it.”
While it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for the LGBTQ+ community just yet, things have certainly shifted in the last two decades, as evidenced by fans and peers celebrating her pregnancy announcement on social media.
