Gibbs treated fans to the must-see shots and video clips via his Instagram page Saturday (April 25).

Thats wassup, congrats to the man.
Ya know, I really am happy to see photos like this. Not saying he’s the first rapper to post baby pics, but the giddy expression, thumbs up, holding the hand of the mother of his child, all that is just too damn real to me. The rapper who hides behind masculinity tropes and who feels as if he always has to live up to the alpha male aggression often ascribed to Black men (particularly in rap) is dehumanizing. Hopefully brothers take note. We can smile, we can laugh, and we can respect our women. This picture is a powerful expression of Black unity between Black man and Black woman and I celebrate it!! Respect to Mrs. Gibbs and Mr. Gibbs for bringing new life in the world!!
