Da Brat spoke to the outlet about being a month into motherhood and how she feels about giving birth after having a high-risk pregnancy.
“I’m 49, I’m high-risk, I have high blood pressure,” she said. “So many women so much younger than me want kids and can’t have them, and I had a successful pregnancy. It’s just an honor. He’s such a blessing.”

She also spoke about receiving vitro fertility IVF treatments from her wife’s eggs and sperm from an anonymous donor to become pregnant, which took place after she had a miscarriage.
“I think God plans out our journey,” she said. “I’m very happy He saw fit for me to have him.”
Da Brat and Jesseca Harris-Dupart gave birth on July 6 in Atlanta. The Chicago rapper told the aforementioned outlet upon giving birth: “I can’t BELIEVE he came out of me! Feels like a dream. He’s PERFECT in every way.”
Harris-Dupart also gave a statement to the outlet saying: “Very appreciative for such a blessing of our bundle of joy. This journey has been more amazing than we could’ve ever imagined.”

Shortly after True Legend Harris-Dupart was born, Jesseca Harris-Dupart had to clarify that the name of their newborn son is simply a combination of her and Da Brat’s two names together and that they did not steal the names from anyone, despite a former employee’s claim.
Once Da Brat gave birth to their son, she announced that she and her wife would name him Legacy Shawntae Dupart at the time.
A former employee of Jesseca’s then accused the happy couple of stealing the names of her two children, but Jesseca bit back on Instagram by resharing a 2020 interview Da Brat did with Dish Nation, where she said the names were a combination of her and Jesseca’s.
“Shawntae is my first name and Dupart is my baby’s last name,” Brat said at the time. “Carry on the legacy of the parents, darling.”
The former employee, who goes by Shaynah Solochek, claimed on IG at the time that Legacy and Shawntae are the names of her two sons, and “advised” Jesseca to “back off.”
“There are so many names in the world my two sons name did not have to be it,” she wrote previously. “I advise you to back off! I don’t do well with Demons trying to attack my children! I am ready for WAR ATP! One name I would say: okay so many people have that name but to take both of their names.”

Jesseca replied on her IG Story at the time, writing alongside the aforementioned interview: “No negativity as we celebrate our PERFECT son, but let’s get 1 thing straight with LOVE. This my wife on Dish in 2020.”
She continued: “We didn’t have a daughter but my wife’s pick of OUR sons name is a perfect fit for him with NO ONE else’s child in mind. ESPECIALLY a person we no longer follow/interact with nor know wtf is going on in their life.”
