20 Photos Of Rappers Holding Babies - Page 17

Back in the dark ages when people respected politicians, they’d often be photographed holding babies and tenderly kissing their cheeks to show how humane they were. This is nothing like that.

When a rapper holds a baby it could often have the adverse effect on their careers. The stereotypical “tough guy” holding a child and showing they have a heart? Surely you jest. But thankfully, guys like Drake have shown us that it’s okay to rap and have a sentimental side. Awwww, doesn’t that make you want to hug your teddy and suck your thumb? Okay, probably not.

We’ve provided an extensive gallery of rappers who bypass stereotypes. They’re going to hold babies in public, love them and kiss them, and they don’t care what you think. Check out the photos and be prepared to start crying from cuteness.

If you don’t love this picture of the late Notorious B.I.G. kissing his baby girl T’yanna Dream, then you, my friend have no heart. Biggie has been a pioneer of many things in the rap world, and clearly holding babies was one of them.

You might know him from such hits as “Netflix,” where he wants to make a sex tape and stream it globally, but here’s 2 Chainz keeping it G-rated with his daughter. That’s nice.

Oh hey! Who’s that over there? It’s Eminem and his daughter Hailie moments before talking about killing her mother Kim in every one of his songs.

Remember this photo? Of course you do. You stare at it frequently while you play “Glory” and weep. Maybe you’re weeping because you caught Jay Z in his first vulnerable fatherly moment, or maybe you’re salty Blue Ivy got on the Billboard charts before you did.

Nas may want to punch a wall every time he writes a check to either the IRS or his baby mama Kelis, but he sure loves his child. So wait, is this the God’s Son or the God’s Son’s Son. What is it, son?

It’s sometimes easy to forget that The Game has teeth because his music suggests that he never smiles. That’s clearly not the case as he’s all grins while holding a young Batman.

Lil’ Kim looks like she’d be such a sweet mother judging by this photo, but then you think she might turn into a stage parent who puts her child in pageants with a new nose by the time she’s three.

Lil Wayne has approximately 413 baby mothers, and that statistic was completely made up. Considering his youthful glow (read: face tats), if that kid didn’t have a pacifier in his mouth we wouldn’t know who was older.

Here’s a classic video still of the late Tupac Shakur cradling Brenda’s baby. This pic doesn’t really count as “awww how cute.” It’s more like, “Brenda, why did you land yourself in so much trouble that your baby has no parent now?”

If Drake smiles any wider in this photo, his laugh lines are going to jump off his face, march straight into Marvin’s Room and demand a spot on one of his bunk beds, thereby divorcing themselves from Drizzy’s face permanently.

Here’s a photo of Wiz Khalifa and Baby Bash. No we don’t mean that rapper from the early 2000’s with the wet set. We mean his adorable son with Amber Rose.

It took Tyga long enough to acknowledge he was even dating Blac Chyna let alone procreating with her. A baby kind of lets the cat out of the bag (or the bun out of the oven) though.

Blue Ivy Carter you are in violation of the Made Up Act of 2012, which states that no child of Jay Z’s will wear headphones unless they are regulation “Jay Z Blue.”

This photo looks less like 50 Cent and his child and more like 50 Cent cloned himself, put that person in the dryer and shrunk him into a smaller version of himself. He’s got the Vitamin Water money to make that happen.

And here we have Bow Wow looking thrilled with his baby Shai. Perhaps he looks so annoyed because he just walked past a van wrapped with Ciara’s latest album cover or he still can’t believe he named his child after a ’90s R&B group.

Look at good ol’ Puff whispering pleasantries at his baby. What he’s really saying is, “I can’t wait until you’re old enough to bring me cheesecake” and “Take that, take that, take that.”

Here’s Reverend Run and his wife with the youngest addition to their family. In just a few months though, the youngest addition will be daughter Vanessa’s child. It’s a celebration! Right?

T.I.’s not a family man. He’s a family, man! Here’s Tip with his kids, proving that there are enough hours in the day to spend time with your kids. Even when you have 26 of them.

This is just another friendly reminder that Blue Ivy Carter is better than you. Carry on.
