XXXTentacion's baby has arrived.
The late rapper's mom, Cleopatra Bernard, and the baby's mother, Jenesis Sanchez, announced that Sanchez welcomed a baby boy named Gekyume Onfroy on Saturday.
"We’re happy to confirm that baby and mother are healthy. Gekyume’s name is derived from a word X created prior to his passing, which means 'a different state' or 'next' universe of thought," the family's statement reads. "XXXTentacion specifically chose this name for his first born son; his family is honored to fulfill his wish and shower baby Gekyume with love."

Shortly after his death, a rep for the artist confirmed to ET that the late rapper's girlfriend was pregnant with his child. Bernard also revealed the news on Instagram, alongside a photo of a sonogram.
"He left us a final gift," Bernard wrote in the caption.
The controversial rapper was shopping for motorcycles in South Florida on the day of his death. As he was leaving the motorcycle dealer, a gunman reportedly ran up to his vehicle and opened fire. Four suspects have been arrested.
