Her little one is due Dec. 29, just before the New Year.
In Aug. 2010, she admitted that she was having an affair with a married man, Antwaun Cook, and overdosed on aspirin in a suicide attempt. So is Cook the father? "I'm not gonna talk about that," she told Williams.

13Fantasia, CONGRATS on your baby boy. I have always liked fantasia a whole lot. I wish you all the blessing in the world . I know Zion will be a wonderful big sister. I watched your movie (The one that you played in yourself about your life ) I have watched it everytime it has come on t.v I really loved that show. It dont matter what has been said or wrote about you. I still love you girlfriend. You are a very kind and loving and strong woman!! Aways remember that. People are so ignorant. People have nothing better to do with theirselves other then judge others. We all have made mistakes. Just the ones that point fingers at others pointing out mistakes they are the ones that has made the same mistakes. You are a good person and a very good mother. Yes, The one judging will be judged. That is a fact !!!
Nancy... Let got do the judging. You don't know the whole story with that woman and man, just like we don't know who you are. My oldest child father is a dead beat, that does not make me any less of a woman or a mother. So please dont be so ignorant with your thoughts, or just keep that kind of thinking to your self. Im happy for Fanny, Zion and Cook.. I wish them well.

Oh by the way Ms. Nancy if you haven't noticed but all races are having baby out of wedlock. Check yourself have you ever done anything that your parent or even you yourself itsn't proud of. The next time you want to correct your child, necie or nephew for name calling tell yourself that thats not nice or right.
If she wasn't in the lime light would anybody even care. Its sad how we as people put each other down (all reace). Just because the woman has made a few mistakes in her life doesn't give anyone the right to talk bad about her. There are soo many more things that is worst than having a baby out of wedlock. LIke mothers that are married or fathers that have killed soo many childern for pointless things. A parent that kidnaps their child because the other parent left. Marrying someone just because of a child. All of these things. She won't be asking Nancy or anyone else that has a problem with her having childern out of wedlock to be a sitter or a nanny so why is it a problem again. None of us are sinless and we won't be paying the price for each others sins. So why is its bothering you again? Leave people alone. If you enjoy her as an entertainer than enjoy that as long as you like but as for her personal life leave it to her to live how she choose as long as it don't interfere with yours.
This Nancy chickhave things all f**k up if you look at it. Here's more young white girls who are having babys out of wedlock. But its not repoted cause they want to sweep it under the rug. They want to say that black childern are doing this or that, ever on your local news.I work in the jails and with teenage girls here are more white men and women commanded serious acts then blacks. plus look at mtv 16 pregnant who do you see WHITE TEENAGE GIRLS.And another thing Ms. Fantasia is over the age of 21 no has the right to say if she was a baby with or out a man in her life. A lot of women are doing it ( white and black} and one more thing most young black girls wants a higher education and doing it. So Ms. Nancy get your facts together before you say anything or call someone a "getto skank"

Listen to yourself, Nancy. How appropriate are your word? Calling someone a "getto skank" makes you sound really intelligent. No. Not really.
Yes I agree there are more important things going on today...how about the huge amount of black women who have children out of wedlock with no father figures. As for you Kimberly Panic people who just foul language do so because they do not have the IQ to find more appropriate words.
Nancy-Are you just mad that you are the minority now? Get over it! There is no room for racism in the world today! There are much more important things going on.
F off, Nancy! You are a b.i.t.c.h.
hay thats not nice to say that.
Ghetto skank bringing another black child into the world with no father figure. I bet her kids have kids by the time they are 15
