Summer Walker Welcomes Twins: “I’m So Proud Of Myself”
Summer Walker is welcoming the new year with two less babies in her womb, and two more in her arms Earthside. Recently, the Still Over It songstress gave birth to her second and third children, and though she and her ex Larry are no longer together, he was right by her side through the entire rollercoaster.
“I’m so proud of myself,” she wrote on Instagram over the weekend. “Just sharing to inspire other women, cause I know once you carry twins to almost 42 weeks, especially with one breech, people will try to steer you towards induction or C-section.”
Walker noted that there’s nothing wrong with either of these choices, they were just not what she personally wanted.
During her first experience, the Atlanta native opted for a home birth. Her celebrity status even allowed her to connect with Erykah Badu, who aided in the delivery of baby Bubbles. The renowned singer returned to help Walker once again for her second go and even brought her daughter along for extra support this time.
In fact, it was actually Badu who previously unofficially revealed that Walker was expecting twins. Since her initial post, fans have been eagerly awaiting confirmation that her family has expanded by two more.
On her Instagram, Walker opened up about the exhausting process and the support system that carried her through it. “You can do it, this was my second home birth. All natural, seven hours, no tearing. I couldn’t [have] done it without my spirit guides, Godparents, birth team, [and] my elders.”
Additionally, she gave a shoutout to Larry for being “the best dad doula ever.” According to the new mother, “he was so hands-on the whole time,” leaving her feeling particularly impressed.
“It wasn’t easy but it gets done,” Walker added. “Lol both births I almost blacked out at the end but eating your placenta will definitely keep you above water. I have thin blood so I always end up going to the hospital to bring myself back into good strength for them. As long as my kids stay at home untouched, I’m good.”

Summer Walker Is Seemingly Pregnant With Twins, As Erykah Badu May Have Let Slip
Last year, Summer Walker had her first baby. Now, she’s giving pregnancy another go: This summer, she revealed she’s pregnant again, saying, “People asking me if I’m pregnant… I am and you know I’m very, very, very, very, happy about it. Very excited about it. And this is gonna be… I’m very very excited because it’s going to be different from how it was before. It’s really peaceful, really happy, lots of help, lots of love.”
Recently, that part about this time being “different” appears to have gotten some additional context.
A couple days ago, Walker revealed that Erykah Badu will be her doula for the second time, with an Instagram post showing them preparing for the birth. Shortly before that, Badu shared a photo with her daughter Puma Curry, writing, “Peace peace .. MEET THE WELCOMING COMITTEE. Mother – Daughter DOULA duty. Today I am training a very capable doula who is shadowing me while we assist a mommy in labor with twins. @pumacurry I’m so proud of u and I really really like you.”
So, it would seem that Walker is the one having twins. Indeed, in the photos from Walker’s post, her pregnant belly does look like it could be home to a couple of bundles of joy.
Walker has yet to share a due date, but since it’s been half a year since she made the pregnancy reveal this past June, it would seem the baby/babies is/are set to arrive really soon.
Summer Walker Is “Surrounded By Healers” As She Prepares To Deliver Twins
Summer Walker has a lot of things to be thankful for this holiday season. Among them are two new babies that she’s expected to deliver very soon. Previously we knew that the Atlanta-born singer was pregnant with her second child, but this past weekend, Erykah Badu let it slip that she’s got two bundles of joy in her womb.
“Peace peace… MEET THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post. “Mother – Daughter DOULA duty. Today I am training a very capable doula who is shadowing me while we assist a mommy in labour with twins.”
Not long after Badu’s post landed on her feed, Walker shared some of her own with the 51-year-old. Internet sleuths quickly pieced the puzzle together and realized that it’s the Still Over It hitmaker who is having not one, but two babies.
In her own photo dump from Sunday (December 18), the R&B starlet looks healthy and happy. The first photo finds her proudly showing off her large bump in her living room. Afterward, we see her posing alongside Badu and another friend.
“Always surrounded by healers,” Walker wrote in her caption. Other pictures see her bouncing on a large ball with her firstborn, Bubbles, who she shares with London On Da Track and savouring her last few days with her giant belly.
Later in the post, a video clip shows the expecting mother sitting down as someone in the room rings a bell that seems to omit a relaxing frequency.
The father of her unborn babies, Larry, doesn’t look to be in any of the pictures. Walker previously addressed their breakup after fans noticed his absence from her profile.
In her post, the 26-year-old said that she still has love for her ex, but won’t tolerate certain things from a man. The next day, he was on her Story as she encouraged him to join OnlyFans. Since then, however, we haven’t heard much on his front.
What do you think Summer Walker will name her twins? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for any updates.

Summer Walker Covers “Santa Baby” Just In Time For Christmas
With less than a week until Christmas has come and gone for another year, there’s little time for you to finish all the festive holiday prep that comes with December. Luckily, R&B artists in particular have been generously sharing new songs for your listening pleasure while you shop, bake, and decorate away.
Chris Brown, Ari Lennox, and Sevyn Streeter are among those who have given us covers and originals so far. Now, it’s Summer Walker’s turn to shine with her take on “Santa Baby.”
The song first made its debut earlier this month on LVRN’s Home For The Holidays 2 compilation album. Baby Tate, Alex Vaughn, dvsn, Eli Derby, and DRAM are among other artists who contributed.
Additionally, we hear Walker’s voice once more on the project. She and 6LACK came together to create a “Ghetto Christmas” song. In the time since arriving, it’s earned over 1.5M streams on Spotify alone.
On Monday (December 19), the Atlanta native and her label shared the “Santa Baby” music video. In it, the Still Over It songstress sits in a cozy room with lit trees and fake snow surrounding her.
“Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me / Been an awful good girl / Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,” Walker’s voice rings out on the first verse.
While the “No Love” artist’s fans are certainly revelling in the Christmas cheer she’s brought them, she has some celebrating of her own to do. According to recent reports, the 26-year-old is due to give birth to twins any day now.
Stream Summer Walker’s “Santa Baby” on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, check out LVRN’s Home For The Holidays 2 compilation album here.
Quotable Lyrics:
Think of all the fun I’ve missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you’ll check off my Christmas list

Summer Walker Giving Birth To Twins, Erykah Badu Seemingly Confirms
The relationship that resulted in Summer Walker’s first pregnancy was anything but easy for her (though it did give us the vulnerable body of work that is Still Over It). She was undeniably public with her struggles the first time around. Due to this, fans were rooting for the singer to experience a fairytale when she revealed that she was with child once again.
Initially, it looked as though the Atlanta native had met her match in the equally goofy Larry. She provided fans with plenty of exciting updates early on. Additionally, she even channelled her inner Rihanna by performing in some sultry maternity outfits.
However, things seem to have taken a turn for the worse in recent months. As her pregnancy nears its end, Walker revealed via social media in November that she’s single again. At the time she had nothing bad to say about her ex. What she did specifically mention is that she refuses to tolerate certain things in a relationship.
In the following days, the “No Love” songstress proved that she and Larry are still friends on Instagram. In the clip, she tells her unborn child’s father to consider joining OnlyFans after seemingly getting a DM soliciting him for X-rated activities.
Since then, she’s kept relatively quiet in regard to her love life. However, she has been sharing stunning maternity photos that have Walker’s 4.9 million followers praising her beauty.
Her official due date remains unknown, but it seems that Erykah Badu may have given us a hint that the baby’s coming soon on her own IG page. As you may recall, the industry legend was present when the Over It artist gave birth for the first time a few years ago.
“Peace peace… MEET THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE,” the Dallas native wrote earlier this weekend. “Mother – Daughter DOULA duty. Today I am training a very capable doula who is shadowing me while we assist a mommy in labor with twins.”
Additionally, Badu said, “@pumacurry I’m so proud of [you] and I really really like you. A doula must be like water. Follow your instincts. – Mama Badoula – (We are listening to alpha wave [frequencies] on noise cancellation.”
Seeing as Walker has since posted selfies with her dear friends on her Story, it’s all but officially confirmed we’ll have two new celebrity babies to adore very soon.
Check back in with HNHH later for any updates on Summer’s birth.

The album is executive produced by Future, who also adds his name to the list of features. Other artists include 21 Savage, John P. Kee, Tory Lanez, Dreezy, Summer Walker, and 6LACK.
The latter two lend their voices to “Tell Me It’s Over,” a song where Jacquees gets honest about a relationship that turned sour. The song is about staying with someone even after both parties have hurt the other and not having the strength to end things.

Quotable Lyrics
I know I f*cked up, you caught me lyin’ too many times before
Took me back, I did it more
I was convinced, you was gettin’ naked and hit
By another n*gga, yeah, I was sick
I’m a player but I gotta admit
Yeah, you hurt me, but I know it ain’t as bad as I hurt you
Summer Walker Defends Wanting White Or Gay Assistant, $2K Pay
A job posting by Summer Walker lit up the internet, and the singer returned to explain her position. Finding good help can be difficult for anyone, but when you’re a celebrity, you have to keep your wits about you. We’ve heard many stories about artists being taken advantage of by people on their teams, and it looks as if Walker doesn’t want to become a victim. The Still Over It hitmaker uploaded a post to her Instagram Story with the requirements for her new assistant. Almost immediately, Walker received pushback.
“Need male assistant, 2k month,” wrote the singer. “Age 25 & older atl have to have a car have to know how to build stuff.” Then, Walker added, “Preferably white or gay just saying [shrug emoji] & doesn’t give af about who I am or my music just need you to come work :).”

Soon, people began DMing Walker questioning her about her conditions. The singer shared a screenshot of someone saying it sounded like she doesn’t trust Black people.
“Everyone I’ve ever hired my whole career has been black besides Ro, it’ll be okay.” Later, Walker returned to explain her position to critics who complained about her $2,000 pay.
“I really would like to know that. ‘Oh, $2K ain’t enough, $2K ain’t enough.’ How do you know if it’s not enough? I could have told somebody to come over here once a week and smell my a**hole and leave. How do you know it’s not enough? Do you know the job description? Do you know the hours?”

“I am on maternity leave, I’m not working,” Walker added. “We have no shows, we have no club appearances, we have nowhere to go and nothing to do. I told somebody to come over here once a week to come take my f*cking trash out, sh*t like that. Put some gas in my car, sh*t I don’t feel like doing. But that is not y’all business, I don’t have to explain that to you.”
She also clarified why she requested a white and-or gay man.
“I’ve always hired Black people. Everybody that works for me is Black. If I wanna hire a white person, y’all sound like y’all discriminating, what’s the problem?”
“I want a gay man ’cause I don’t want nobody hitting on me and I wanted a white person, because honestly, you n*ggas…y’all know how n*ggas act.” Apparently, the position has been filled.
