Tiny Harris Has Questions About Jermaine Dupri’s New Baby, Producer Clears Up Confusion

Xscape singer Tiny Harris responded to producer Jermaine Dupri‘s recent post that hints at a new edition to his family. In the photo, Dupri is seen holding a baby with the simple caption “#3.” The caption suggests that the baby is Dupri’s third child. Many fans were taken by surprise, including Harris who seemed dumbfounded by the extremely vague caption, “#3 what man??!!”

The fans were eager to share their shock and confusion.

“You must be adopting cuz that’s not your baby biologically” “Harpo, who dis baby?”

“What? When? How? Well I know how but, what?!! Congrats!!! 🍾”

“Yall guessing @jermainedupri. Thats your baby ?? U got these ppl. Going crazy in theses comments”

One follower must have known more than others when they commented, “it’s a joke fam.” After letting Harris and millions of followers get all worked up about the photo, Dupri came clean. The superproducer confessed that the baby belonged to his friends Elie and Julie Deshe.

With a photo of baby Bowie’s parents kissing, Dupri wrote, “I gotta say it was so funny in the moment! I Love You Guys!!! But that’s my guy @eliedeshe and his wife @juliadeshe beautiful Baby boy I posted yesterday, SMH and Shout Out To The “White Girl” that Has Been One Of My Best Friends For the Past 20 Years!! Y’all can stop now 🤣”

Harris and Dupri can laugh over the incident while embarking on the So So Def tour with Xscape. Other artists on the tour include Da Brat, Jagged Edge, Bow Wow, Anthony Hamilton, Bone Crusher, Youngbloodz, Dem Franchize Boyz and J-Kwon. “I feel like with my artists and even myself, people don’t pay enough attention to how much we mean to the culture and how much So So Def meant to breaking the South and making people pay attention to Atlanta,” Dupri said at the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
