The 49-year-old rapper explained that his only daughter, Brittney Aitken, is expecting her first child with her husband, Tevin Aitken.
“I’m about to be a grandfather,” Ja announced to the audience, pausing with a laugh as he admitted the title, “don’t even sound right.”
He recounted the unique way Brittney shared the news with him and his wife, Aisha Atkins.
“She put the sonogram in a box, and it was a card that said, ‘You are now grandma and grandfather.’ And the sonogram was in the thing,” Ja recalled. “She said, ‘I got a gift for you guys.’ And we thought it was a real gift — I mean, that is a real gift, don’t get me wrong!”
The rapper described how the couple’s reactions were captured on camera by Brittney. “So, we go and we open it up, and she got the camera on me to see me and wifey’s expression,” he continued. “It was an amazing moment.”
Ja’s announcement highlights a joyful new chapter in his family’s life, with fans expressing excitement and sending congratulations across social media. Brittney also shared her big news on Instagram, writing “SURPRISE!!!!! This little bean, is having a little bean.”
