Bhad Bhabie is now a mom. The 20-year-old rapper, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, posted on her Instagram Story on March 15, 2024 to share the news. In the black-and-white photo, she holds her baby, who is concealed by a blanket. Though Bhad Bhabie hasn't shared a ton of details about her baby yet, she did previously reveal that she and her boyfriend Le Vaughn planned on naming their baby Kali Love. In addition to being a rapper, Bhad Bhabie is also an internet personality who rose to fame after appearing on Dr. Phil in 2016.
Her Dr. Phil appearance was controversial — and also went viral. It quickly became a meme and popular catchphrase.
Why, exactly, was the rapper on Dr. Phil? She was a "troubled teen" and the segment she was on focused on her bad behavior, which her mom was worried about.

The segment was called “I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a Crime.” While she was on the show, the audience laughed, which prompted Bhad Bhabie to challenge people in the audience to a fight.
She said “Catch me outside, how ‘bout that?” but people heard it as “Cash me ousside, how ‘bout dah," which is the phrase that went viral.
In February 2024, Bhad Bhabie spoke to People about her pregnancy, addressing some of the criticism she was getting from people online.
"I even see people saying, 'Oh, I don't think she's ready. I don't think she's ready,'" she told the outlet. "It's like, 'How can you, from your computer screen, determine if I'm ready to be a mother or not?'"
Though she was on Dr. Phil as a "troubled teen," the new mom told People that she is "definitely going to be the strict" parent. She also noted that she was "really excited" to welcome her daughter.
In February, Bhad Bhabie hosted a love-themed baby shower in celebration of Kali Love. It was close to Valentine's Day as well, so the room was full of red and pink and heart-shaped decorations.
"For the details, I really wanted a Valentine's Day theme, so 'Kali Love Story' just felt right," she told E! News at the time. "It came out better than I imagined and I can't wait to show our baby girl these photos when she gets older."
Bhad Bhabie also told People that her daughter's name didn't necessarily have "any specific meaning."
"It's just his mom picked the middle name and then I had a list of five names I liked, and Kali was one of them," she told the outlet, adding that she thought "Kali" sounded good with "Love."
