Waka Flocka Flame is overjoyed now that his newborn son is here. 

The 40-year-old artist and his new wife recently welcomed their first child, Juaquin Malphurs, Jr., into the world. In an emotional post he shared to Instagram, the “No Hands” rapper embraced his new role as a father and expressed how blessed he was to have a son like him. 

“For years, I wondered what this moment would feel like,” he wrote. “Through every scar, every setback, every betrayal, every lesson, every long night, every victory that still felt empty… God was preparing me for this.”
