‘She Is a Daddy’s Girl’: Princess Love’s 2-Year-Old Daughter Mistakes Her Name for Ray J’s

Princess Love‘s daughter Melody Love is her father Ray J Norwood‘s biggest fan.

The 2-year-old darling had fans cracking up this week on social media after she mistook her name for the “One Wish” singer’s moniker. Princess took to Instagram on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and shared a video of herself asking baby Melody her name.

“Name, what’s your name?” Princess asked her daughter, who replied, “Rayy.”

“No your name’s not Ray, that’s daddy’s name,” the mother of two said, while laughing.

“😂 She said ‘Ray’ too cute!!” said a fan.

Another added, “Awwwwww. She is really daddy’s girl and she looks like him too.. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 beautiful girl.”

“That’s smart dont tell nobody ur real name lol 😂🤣😂🙌🏾” someone else quipped.

“Rayyyyyyy😂,” one IG user commented. “Too darn cute.. that lil voice❤️ your children are so beautiful and you’re doing a great job as a mom taking care of him you and your husband good parents keep doing what you do👑👑👏👏❤️.”

Melody is Princess and Norwood’s first child and only daughter. They also have 8-month-old son Epik Norwood, whom they welcomed in December.

The Prella Cosmetics owner described motherhood as one of “the best feelings ever” that “nobody can prepare you for.”

Norwood also loves being a father and seems elated to have his children in his life. A day after his son was born, he penned a sweet message to his wife and wrote, “God is truly amazing! @Princesslove you are really a blessing! To watch what you went thru to have our children is something words can’t express. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for everything! 2020 is already the best year of my life! – Here he is EPIK RAY NORWOOD.”

The couple celebrated baby Melody’s 2nd birthday on May 23 with a series of cute family portraits. Princess also posted a throwback photo of the toddler, alongside a sweet message that read, “At 2:52pm today my baby Melody was born. The happiest, smartest and sweetest girl I’ve ever known. Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy. I love you more and more every day. Happy 2nd Birthday baby ❤️.”

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.
