Yung Miami, one-half of popular rap duo City Girls, decided to let the world in on the closely guarded secret that she was expecting her second child last month. The rapper, who is already the mother to a son, shared a glimpse of her growing baby bump while admitting that the decision to let the world in on her pregnancy was a tough one. “I’ve been going back and forth to share this moment with my fans,” Yung Miami wrote an Instagram photo of herself baring her belly in a sheer robe. “But on MY TERMS! I want this journey to be nothing but positive going forward…”
