Vic Mensa Announces Birth of First Child Named After African King
Chicago’s very own Vic Mensa has officially stepped into a new role—fatherhood! In a heartfelt interview with Us Weekly, Vic shared the news that he and his longtime girlfriend quietly welcomed their son, Mansa Musa, last year. The name isn’t just unique; it’s a powerful tribute to one of the most influential and wealthiest African rulers in history, Mansa Musa of Mali, symbolizing greatness, legacy, and cultural pride. 🌍👑
Introducing Mansa Musa Through Music
Vic didn’t just announce his son; he introduced him to the world in the most meaningful way—through music. In his latest track, “I Wanna Be Ready,” Vic opens his heart, rapping directly to his baby boy with powerful, soul-stirring lyrics:
“What I do in my work as a parent, is to show you the worth you inherit / So you know who you are and you know you’re a God, these devils at work on your spirit.” 🙏🏾
But Vic took it a step further by writing a verse from the perspective of Mansa Musa himself, reflecting on the rich history and legacy of Black excellence:
“I come from the source of creation, I’m a manifestation, a channel / A reincarnation of ancestors from the plantation to the pyramids.” ✊🏾
