US rapper Zeddy Will – who got five women pregnant at the same time – hosts joint baby shower, sparking internet frenzy
Lizzy Ashliegh, a 29-year-old from Brooklyn, New York, claimed in a video that she and the four other women had all fallen pregnant to the same man – 22-year-old rapper Zeddy Will – at around the same time, with each of them currently expecting.
Ashliegh’s footage from the joint baby shower on January 14 has since gone viral on TikTok, amassing a staggering 10.7 million views, almost a million likes and over 16,000 comments at the time of writing.
“I guess we Sister Wives now [sic],” she added.
The invite in question featured a photo of Zeddy Will surrounded by the five women, with text reading: “Welcome little Zeddy Wills 1 [to] 5.”
“We’ve decided to work together and our families are supportive of our decision.”
“Congrats and good luck to the soon-to-be family of 11,” she added.
Ashliegh also shared a series of photos of her, Will and the four other mums-to-be to her TikTok, in which she elaborated on their decision to support one another through each other’s pregnancies.
“We’ve accepted each other. It’s better for the little ones,” she said. “We decided to have the baby shower on the same day.”
In one pic, Ashliegh revealed she and one of the other expecting women had very similar due dates and mused whether it would make the babies twins.
“Staying happy for the baby – he’s gonna be born into a big family [sic],” she added. “We love our baby daddy. We will not ruin our babies’ lives.
“Nothing left to do but to support each other. Takes a village indeed!”
Others applauded the women for forming friendships with one another for the sake of the children, all of whom will be half-siblings.
“The only thing that matters here is if he is able and capable of taking care of all of them and their babies,” one viewer wrote, while a second joked: “What in the Nick Cannon is this?”
Nick Cannon, a television host and rapper, has repeatedly made headlines for fathering children with different women; at the time of writing, he has welcomed 12 children with six mothers.
According to reports, Ashliegh has previously made headlines after she was involved in an altercation with a New York lawyer as she performed on the street.
In a statement to TMZ Hip Hop, Shawn Prez, Zeddy Will’s co-manager, said: “Society has shifted, and in turn so has modern relationship dynamics. The essence lies in redefining relationships personally, breaking away from the one-size-fits-all approach and societal pressures to conform.
“Individuals should be allowed to craft relationships that align with their values, desires, boundaries, and aspirations… Nick Cannon serves as a notable example of successful polyamory, highlighting that the definition of a relationship is a personal choice.”
