Just a few days ago, Da Brat shocked her fanbase with news of her pregnancy at 48 years old. She and her wife Jesseca Dupart are obviously very excited about the new development, and it wasn’t long after the initial announcement that the rapper’s bump made its big debut. As DailyMail reports, it was the Creed III premiere in Atlanta on Thursday (February 23), that saw the expecting couple showing off their baby-to-be.
When sharing the big news with PEOPLE, the Chicago-born lyricist spoke candidly about her past miscarriage and IVF journey. “I never thought I was going to have kids. I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me,” she previously explained. “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.”
When she met her future wife, however, is when Da Brat began to change her perspective. “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,’” she told the outlet. During Thursday’s premiere, the love between the LGBTQ couple was obvious.
They donned matching army green bomber jackets, layering different black shirts underneath. While Dupart’s pants perfectly match her upper half, the “Ghetto Love” hitmaker switched things up with a pair of camouflage bottoms. While paparazzi snapped their photos on the Creed III red carpet, Da Brat kept one hand on her 18-week bump, reminding the world how proud she is of her mini miracle.
During this month’s Super Bowl, the latest trailer for the Michael B. Jordan-directed feature arrived. Fans are anxiously waiting for the official release in theatres early next month, as well as the Dreamville-executive produced soundtrack that’s set to drop on the same day. So far, we’ve heard JID and Lute on “Ma Boy,” as well as Bas, Black Sherif, and Kel-P on “Blood, Sweat & Tears” more recently.
Jordan was also in attendance at Thursday’s premiere, and he didn’t hesitate to stir the pot by calling out an interviewer on the red carpet. In a clip that’s making rounds online, the actor calls the journalist out for allegedly calling him “corny” in high school, earning him a shocked and embarrassed reaction. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news.
Da Brat is having a baby! The exciting news spread across social media as the rapper and Jesseca Dupart, confirmed that they were expecting a baby. Unfortunately, the otherwise great news transformed into a messy social media situation involving Da Brat and her sister, LisaRaye McCoy. An old interview clip with LisaRaye McCoy emerged on timelines today where she stated that she only found out about her sister’s pregnancy via social media.
Over the years, Da Brat and LisaRaye haven’t necessarily seen eye-to-eye. So the snippet of information surrounding LisaRaye’s alleged unawareness of her sister’s pregnancy created more of an issue online. However, it wasn’t true and the timing of the video being shared came as LisaRaye mourns the loss of her mother. Dupart addressed the claims in the comment section of TheShadeRoom, where she said the TMZ story that was circulating was from a year prior.
Raquel Harper explained that she didn’t have a role in the circulation of the recently resurfaced video. “The interview I did with [LisaRaye] is from months ago, not today,” Harper wrote on her Instagram Story. “I only posted because I thought it was from a story today and that my interview was just getting brought back up from something currently.” She explained in a subsequent post that many of her old interviews resurface regularly. “If I am tagged I just post period,” she wrote before denying that she was the person who posted it in the first place. “Once again, I am not the person who posted the story,” she continued. “I was minding my business and seen my name getting tagged so I reposted.”
Still, Dupart wasn’t having it. She slammed Harper for trying to stir the pot. “MORE LIKE A YEAR AGO, last FEBRUARY, she knew exactly what she was doing but she WRECKLESSLY hopped on a trending topic – while Lisa Raye is planning funeral arrangements for her mother …… 100% distasteful,” Dupart wrote. However, Harper said Dupart as lying. “I talk to [LisaRaye] while it was happening asked her what was going on so know what your talking about.”
It came as a surprise when Da Brat and her wife Jesseca Dupart announced they were expecting. What was even more of a shock to fans is that Brat is carrying their child, a feat that she once said would never happen. “I was like, nothing’s gonna come out of me!” the Rap icon told PEOPLE. However, with a little coaxing from Dupart, the couple will soon welcome their bundle of joy. It’s a time for family and well wishes, but according to Brat’s sister LisaRaye McCoy, she didn’t find out about the good news until she saw it on social media.
McCoy visited It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper, where she was asked about her feelings regarding becoming an auntie. “Wonderful,” the actress replied. Harper tried to pull more out of McCoy and questioned if she knew the gender. “No,” she answered. “Um, I found out [about the pregnancy] through social media.”
After an uncomfortable moment, McCoy said, “This takes me back.” She added, “Because I’m sure that you have heard of the last kind of encounter that we had that went viral.” McCoy refers to the tense moment on her show, Cocktails with Queens, when Da Brat appeared to surprise her for her birthday. McCoy wasn’t happy because the sisters hadn’t spoken in so long. “I ended up having to, I guess what they said, cussed everybody out on the show.”
McCoy explained that time was awkward because she was being pelted with questions about Da Brat coming out as gay. “Because she came out, and I’m getting interviewed, and people are all like, ‘Oh, how do you feel about your sister coming out?’ And I’m like, ‘Coming out of what?’ ‘Cause I’m thinking I had to say some politically correct type of answer because I don’t know what they talkin’ about.”
“There was a whole life going on on social media that I just really didn’t know nothing about,” McCoy further stated. Meanwhile, Brat hasn’t answered her sister’s most recent interview. It’s clear that there are some things the ladies need to hash out, but they’ve always found a meeting ground. And with a little one on the way, Auntie LisaRaye is necessary for the Harris-Dupart family. Check out LisaRaye McCoy’s interview clip above.

Congratulatory messages are pouring in for Da Brat and her wife, Jesseca Dupart, who are expecting their first child together. The couple has embarked on a fertility journey met with highs and lows, and today (February 21), they shared their big news. The announcement arrived via PEOPLE, and in the feature, Brat showed off her growing baby bump. “It’s been quite a journey,” the 48-year-old said. “There’s a lot of stuff we learned about women over the age of 40.”
Brat said she and Dupart began discussing having children because of a business move. Dupart owns and operates the mega-successful Kaleidoscope hair care brand, and she partnered with Brat for a new line. They joked about expanding their family, and soon, the conversation about having children became more serious. “Then we got a huge response. It was like, ‘Oh my God do we want to actually have kids, and if we do, girl, we better hurry up!’”
Brat admitted that when it came to motherhood, she counted herself out. In fact, it wasn’t something she considered until marrying 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.”
However, as love often does, it shifted Brat’s dreams for the future. Soon, she claimed, she began “looking at life so differently.” Being in love caused her to see that she wanted “a little me with you,” she said of her wife. “Something special from the both of us that we can share and raise and love unconditionally.” Yet, the idea of carrying a child was almost out of the question. “I was like, nothing’s gonna come out of me!”
It took many conversations with Dupart to change Brat’s mind. “We had a little tug-o-war in the beginning,” said Dupart. “But I felt like she should have the experience. She is so nurturing.” Congratulations to Brat and Jesseca! Check out photos from their pregnancy shoot above and below.
