‘He The Papi’: O.T. Genasis and Malika Haqq’s Newborn Son Stole His Daddy’s Entire Face

Oh baby! There is no denying that L.A. rapper O.T. Genasis is the father of first-time mother Malika Haqq’s newborn son.

The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” castmate welcomed her and the “Everybody Mad” rapper’s son, Ace Flores, on March 14. While Haqq shared a photo of the newborn’s hand in the palm of his parents’ hands to mark his arrival on the ‘Gram, O.T. shared a photo of the little one’s face that has the internet shook.

“Whew! You you daddy’s son,” and “Oh he the papi for SURE” read a few of the comments from folks acknowledging how much the newborn resembled his father.

“This baby said Maury who?😂😂”

“Dammmm Spit Em Outtt But Him So Cuteee😍”

“Oh she hated you OT cause this baby has your wholeeeee face. Lol 💙”

The couple publicly dated for two years, but split around June 2019. Not too long after Haqq and O.T. decided to part ways the model and actress announced that she was pregnant. For months rumors circulated that the rapper may be the father, but neither Haqq nor Genasis addressed it until the baby shower where the actress thanked the “Everybody Mad” artist.

“I’m incredibly thankful to Odis Flores for my little boy,” said Haqq at the event held in February.

The petite beauty seemed to have a pleasant pregnancy and managed to stay looking cute throughout the nine-month journey, often posing in various dresses from the Pretty Little Thing boutique.

Though already gorgeous, the 37-year-old caught heat just three weeks before giving birth for scheduling her post-pregnancy makeover.

Haqq later clarified she only posted the photo with her plastic surgeon because she was lucky enough to get an appointment with the highly sought after doc.

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.
