Congrats Yummy Mummy Omawumi! Nigerian Songstress Omawumi Megbele confirms the birth of her baby girl

Posted on Saturday, June 18th, 2011 at 3:47 PM

By BellaNaija.com

Soulful diva, Omawumi Megbele, has confirmed news going around the blogosphere since the morning of Saturday on her delivery of a baby girl in the United States of America. The vibe started after her status update this morning: “A child is God’s reward – Psalm 127:3b. Welcome sweetie,” accompanied by an ‘It’s a girl’ display picture.

“I’m so excited I have delivered,” she announced in a statement from her public relations representatives. “It’s always fulfilling for me when I achieve a milestone in my life.”

The “pretty bundle of joy” was delivered at Rockdale Medical Center in Atlanta.

Speculation about Ms. Megbele’s pregnancy had reached fever pitch from as early as January, as media and other observers pointed to a bulge in her smash hit video “If you ask me” as well as her cover shoot for Genevieve magazine, however Omawumi continued her tradition of keeping her personal life private until absolutely necessary – preferring to take care of the unborn child away from the media glare.

“You know the whole story that once you deliver all the pain goes away,” she added in the statement, “That’s a lie! But when I heard her cry and held her in my arms, I felt so thankful and in awe of God’s awesomeness!”

For her many fans anxious to hear from mother and child, Omawumi is glad to tell them: “Baby and mama are fine, great actually. And we feel soo good!”

      Congrats o! Omawumi,but as a role model to some lil gurls, i sincerely do not think having a baby outside wedlock is a good example….just a thought.

    • Divalicious D June 20, 2011 at 1:55 PM

      Congratulations Omawunmi….you’ve joined the single mamas club…so Dokta Frabs when are you going to do it right? BN u forgot to ask for the baby’s name!!!

      • partyrider June 20, 2011 at 10:55 PM

        who told u dr frabs is the dad..kai!

    • Deegurl June 20, 2011 at 2:43 PM

      Is it a ‘MUST’ to be married before having a baby? Abeg, make una free Omawumi o…. Congrats jare, my dear.

      • Deegurl June 20, 2011 at 2:47 PM

        Especially when men are a-holes these days. One might just decide to get pregnant, have the baby, be happy and fore-go the ‘MEN STRESS’.

    • October Girl June 20, 2011 at 2:43 PM

      Not really concerned about who the father is or how she got pregnant, however the moment you decide to be in the lime light, privacy goes out of the door.

    • Subomi June 20, 2011 at 3:19 PM

      congrats

    • royal hottie June 20, 2011 at 3:37 PM

      congrats omawunmi

    • Rica June 20, 2011 at 4:47 PM

      Congrats omawumi love..All of you asking for who the baby daddy is should shut ur traps. Lately in naija, the number of girls walking down the aisle heavily pregnant outnumbers those walking without bellies. Getting pregnant for a man should not be a criteria for marrying that man. She is an adult and is free to make her decisions in her best interest. Would you have preferred if she aborted the baby? I know people who rushed into marriage “cos dem carry belle for the man” and are regretting it today. omawumi, take care of you and ur baby, and if the man is for you, you guys will eventually marry. if not, God go give you your own. Amen
