Taking to Instagram to reveal the news to his followers, the rapper— whose Christian name is Odis Flores—shared a close-up photo of Ace’s face with the caption: “Ace. I love you 03.14.20”
Of course, dozens of celebrities congratulated the former couple on the safe delivery of their first child together, with the Kardashian-Jenner clan showering both Malika and O.T in love.
“My beautiful beautiful nephew!!!! Ace, we have been waiting for you,” wrote Malika’s best friend, Khloe Kardashian.
“Life is beautiful,” Kourtney Kardashian wrote, continuing, “Can’t wait to smell him.”
“He’s perfect!!!! We can’t wait to meet him! Love you so much!!!” Kim Kardashian West added while Kris Jenner’s daughter Kendall wrote: “Congrats!!! Love you.”
“Ace!!!!!! I can’t wait to meet him,” billionaire makeup mogul Kylie Jenner quipped.
Kris’s long-term boyfriend Corey Gamble also sent the mother-son duo some warm wishes, writing: “Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!”
Malika, 36, announced her pregnancy in September 2019 via social media, posting a photo of herself holding up a positive pregnancy test.
“I listen to my heart, and I’ve decided that the rest of my life will be the best of my life,” she captioned the Instagram announcement. “I’m pregnant! I didn’t know when, I just knew one day. God said it’s my turn, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the little spirit that grows inside of me. I am yours, baby, and you are mine.”
Speaking about the heartwarming moment she discovered she was going to be a mum, Malika said it felt like everything had fallen into place.
“The reason why I was so excited to learn that I was pregnant was because I knew that my life was going to change for the better, the greatest blessing that I’ve always wanted but didn’t know I was going to get, is finally here,” she said on her Facebook show, Side by Side
Two months later, the Dash Dolls alum confirmed the father of her then-unborn child was O.T Genasis— who also has a nine-year-old son called Genasis.
Although Malika sadly announced she’d parted ways with her partner of two years in June 2019, he supported her throughout her pregnancy journey, helping her every step of the way.
“I’ve been single the last 8months but I am in no way alone,” Malika wrote on her Instagram page last month. “OT and I have attended every doctors apt and over all loved on our son together while anticipating his arrival.”
