Naomi Osaka’s ex-boyfriend, American rapper Cordae, has caused a stir with his new album “Heavy is the Crown,” a collaborative effort with Anderson .Paak. Cordae’s personal lyrics addressing his breakup with Osaka have drawn significant attention from fans, particularly due to the revelation that the rapper is expecting his second child.
Osaka announced her breakup with Cordae in January 2025, marking the end of their six-year relationship. She insisted that there was “no bad blood” between them and hailed him as an “awesome dad” to their daughter, Shai, who was born in July 2023.
Thanks for the submission!
Addressing Shai in the track “Helpless,” Cordae delivered emotional lyrics reflecting on his separation from Osaka, while also revealing that he is expecting his second child.
“I’m finna have my second child, although we still ain’t said our vows / Was never my intention to raise my daughter in separate homes / Gave your mom my all, but the love she had for me dead and gone / Although you ain’t a man if you can’t admit it when you was wrong / Can’t see it coming down my eyes, so do it through this song,” the lyrics read.
The lyrics sparked rampant speculation among fans, with several questioning whether Cordae was implying that Osaka is pregnant.
“Is he implying she’s pregnant?” one fan commented.
“Are they having a second child?. Confused,” another fan wrote.
“So Naomi is pregnant??” questioned another.
Others, meanwhile, interpreted the line as a suggestion that Cordae is expecting his second child with another woman.
“I’m confused. He had another kid with someone else or Naomi didn’t want another. I’m so confused,” a fan wrote.
“Sounds like he got another woman pregnant with no vows… Glad Naomi got out, good for her!!” another user posted.
