K. Michelle’s ‘Baby Fever’ Post Derailed After Fans Accuse Her of Not Taking Care of Her Only Son

Singer K. Michelle teased on social media that she’s ready to have more children, but fans quickly accused her of barely being a parent to her only child.

The “Can’t Raise a Man” artist has been very vocal in the past about wanting to have twins with her fiance Dr. Kastan Sims. She gave birth to her son Chase in 2004 and has been very adamant about keeping him off of television and under the radar. She did, however, reveal on Twitter in 2017 that she was having fertility issues following her diagnosis with Lupus.

The 33-year-old shared an Instagram video of twin girls laughing up a storm while living their best lives on a swing set. K. Michelle captioned the recording, “Ovaries😉🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 My only focus #comingsoonfinally #prayersup #happyplace.”

Fans quickly bombarded “Kimberly’s” post with comments saying the singer wasn’t prepared to have more kids because she barely parents her 14-year-old son.

One fan wrote, “Isn’t ur mom taking care of the kid u already do have? Asking for my cousin😂.”

Another added, “Never understood how people keep having kids and barely had the 1st one🤷🏾‍♀️ but that none of my business.”

“Tf how she barely has time,” said a third person.

One person commented, “She don’t have time 4 one wtf she talkin bout.”

K. Michelle opened up to Essence in Oct. 2017 about how important it was to keep her son and her future children out of the limelight.

“I’ve never put my son on Love and Hip Hop. I never posted him on my Instagram page and I’ve protected him from the Internet, the heckling and all that kind of stuff. And when the babies are born, they probably won’t be seen much either.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
