Lauryn Hill Addresses Paternity Rumors

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Lauryn Hill may have found a round about way to squelch rumors of the paternity of her sixth child. Lauryn gave birth to her sixth child on Saturday, but the paternity of the child remains an unknown for the public. Speculation around Rohan Marley possibly not being the father began with Marley himself. Rohan shocked twitter fans when he implied he wasn’t the father after he received numerous congratulatory posts.

Marley’s attempt to squelch the fire storm only increased the desire to know the intimate details of his relationship with Lauryn Hill.

So Lauryn Hill decided to take matters into her own hands to respond in a very indirect manner, albeit, about her relationship to Rohan Marley,

Mr. Marley and I have a long complex history about which MANY inaccuracies have been reported since the beginning. To speculate without the facts can only cause people to form WRONG conclusions. We both value privacy and for that reason defend and preserve our right to it. Contrary to the numerous reports, Mr. Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child. We have had long periods of separation over the years but our 5 children together remain a joy to both of us. Thank you for your concern and I appreciate all of the well wishes regarding the birth of my new son.

Until next time,
Ms. Hill

Would Lauryn have needed to respond days after giving birth if Rohan Marley kept his twitter fingers to himself? Either way, congrats to Lauryn Hill. Wonder what she will name her new bundle of joy?!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
