00:0021 Savage thought his wife had accepted his relationship with Lado and their unborn child,
00:04but it completely went wrong. On Friday, March 20th, 2026, Lado confirmed she is pregnant with
00:11her first child. She made the announcement at midnight by sharing the cover art for her fourth
00:16studio album, Big Mama, which shows her holding a baby cheetah while her pregnant stomach is on
00:22display. She also dropped the music video for the lead single, Business and Personal Intro.
00:28The night before, she had posted a cryptic teaser video showing her walking toward a baby cheetah
00:33and feeding it from a bottle. Fans did not know if it was an album tease or a pregnancy announcement,
00:40and by midnight, it turned out to be both. The album is set to arrive May 29th. In the music
00:46video,
00:47Lado raps about her early beginnings with her mother while flipping through a pregnancy journal.
00:52The scrapbook contains childhood photos of both Lado and 21 Savage placed side by side,
00:58along with a positive pregnancy test. Midway through the video, she reveals her baby bump
01:03for the first time, and a tattooed hand appears cradling her stomach. The tattoo, a knife on the
01:09inner wrist, closely resembles one associated with 21 Savage. His face is not shown in the video,
01:15but fans immediately made the connection. Lado then went on Instagram Live to confirm everything,
01:21showing off her bump and telling viewers she is pregnant with her and 21 Savage's baby.
01:26Now, the two rappers have been rumored to be a couple as far back as 2020.
01:31For years, both of them denied dating. Fans had pointed to multiple clues, including Lado's tattoo
01:38of 21 Savage's real name, Shea, behind her ear. They were also spotted together on vacation.
01:44In September 2025, Lado finally confirmed the relationship while speaking to a TMZ photographer.
01:52She told TMZ she was heading to dinner with her husband, referring to 21 Savage. When asked if she
01:58was tired of people asking about him, she responded with an enthusiastic,
02:02My man, my man, my man. That was the first public confirmation of their relationship after years of
02:09speculation. Here is where this situation gets layered. 21 Savage is reportedly married to a woman
02:15named Kiana Joseph. They reportedly tied the knot in 2020, shortly after his February 2019 arrest by
02:22ICE for overstaying his visa. 21 Savage was born in London and moved to Atlanta as a child.
02:29Since Kiana is a U.S. citizen, fans speculated the marriage was tied to securing a green card.
02:3521 Savage received his green card in 2023. Kiana is described as a business owner who runs a beauty
02:42company called Beauty by Nuki. They reportedly share two sons, Kamari and Ashad. 21 Savage also
02:49has a daughter named Rian from another relationship, making him a father of three before this pregnancy
02:55with Lado. In September 2023, reports surfaced that Kiana filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable
03:02differences. However, neither party came out to confirm this publicly. The timing of those reports matched
03:09up with increasing speculation about 21 Savage and Lado being together, particularly after Lado's
03:15Shayya tattoo went viral earlier that same year. As of today, 21 Savage's exact marital status remains
03:23unclear. So now the question everyone is asking, what was Kiana's reaction to Lado's pregnancy
03:29announcement? Following the news, fans were shocked to discover that Kiana Joseph liked Lado's
03:35Instagram post. The very post announcing the pregnancy, the Big Mama album, and the business
03:40and personal single. Kiana tapped the like button on it. Beyond that one action, no other reactions
03:47or statements from Kiana emerged. No comments, no posts, no interviews. Based on that like, it appears
03:53she is supportive of the situation, or at the very least, unbothered by it. Now, as for 21 Savage
03:59issuing a public apology to his wife, there is no confirmed statement, no post, and no video
04:05of that happening. Nothing from 21 Savage's social media. Nothing from any verified outlet.
04:12What is confirmed is that Lado and 21 Savage are expecting their first child together. What
04:18is confirmed is that Kiana liked the announcement. And what is confirmed is that the people closest
04:22to this situation seem to be at peace with it. Whether anything was said in private, behind
04:28closed doors, that is something only the people involved would know. But publicly, the only
04:35signal Kiana sent was pressing that like button. And that is all anyone has to go on right now.
