She didn’t state the reason behind the complications, but expressed how heartbroken they were. “I’ve stayed silent because I think I’ve been in denial. I thought keeping it to ourselves would make this whole thing unreal.”

“Publishing this means that this whole thing is real but I can’t keep her a secret for much longer. I need to honor her. She was such a beautiful girl and we believe she gave her life for me and her twin brother,” she wrote.

She shared photos of their baby’s grave which was still unmarked and honored with a spray of daisies, buried next to her father, the late rapper Francis M’s grave.
