‘I’m Not Gone Get in Your Business Buttttt’: DaniLeigh’s Recent Performance Has Fans Eager for Her to Address Rumors That She’s Expecting

Earlier this month fans began speculating that singer DaniLeigh was expecting a baby with her ex-boyfriend rapper DaBaby after photos from a meet-and-greet featured the star in a red dress looking a little rounder than usual.

On Sunday, March 21, the “Lil Bebe” singer shared a video from a virtual performance, and fans flooded the comment section with even more pregnancy speculations. In the clip, the 26-year-old sported what appeared to be a very revealing blue swimsuit with cut-out brown leather pants, which featured a ruffled skirt around her midriff. Though slightly covered, as Dani danced and moved around, her belly appeared visibly bigger than usual. At one point, she threw on a jacket, seemingly to cover up the sides of her outfit where her belly poked through.

The post was viewed over 375,000 times. She thanked Stream Live for having her and fans for watching and quickly restricted the comment section. Still, that didn’t stop fans from pointing out that something was up. “She def carrying. 😍😍😍,” one user wrote. Another pressed her to address the rumors, writing, “Just make the pregnancy announcement sis lol.”

“Awww look at how cute her baby bump is 😍😍😍😍😍,” a third wrote. “I’m not gone get in your business BUTTTTTTTT if you are pregnant I can’t wait until you announce it lol 😍,” another user said.

Still, some sympathized with the star who, if actually expecting, would have to deal with her pregnancy in the public eye and possibly be subjected to criticism. “Ik what it feels like when u want ur pregnancy private so 💯, but honey I see ur glow and props for her to still doing her thing while doing so… that is not easy❤️,” one person commented.  

“I just feel like it’s no ones business if she’s pregnant or not, because if she isn’t and it is her just getting thick a lot of y’all are being harsh,” another expressed. “How would you feel if someone said you looked pregnant and you weren’t ? She will let us know on her time leave the woman alone already.”

Dani hasn’t addressed the rumors, nor has she confirmed she and DaBaby are back together. On Feb. 7, the “Easy” singer announced that they had broken up following her colorism scandal. The two began dating in December and have often appeared alongside each other in music videos and have worked on projects together.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
