If you ask most hip-hop lovers, the state of the rap game has shifted to being female-dominated. Thanks to Nicki Minaj setting the standard for longevity in the rap game, various femcees have taken the industry by storm — from the likes of Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, and more. However, no one has had a blow-up like St. Louis femcee Sexyy Red.
Sexyy Red (real name: Jane Nierah Wherry) has made quite the impression on the rap game for being unapologetically herself. After getting the attention of rap icon Nicki Minaj and collaborating on the track "Pound Town 2," Sexyy catapulted into stardom. The femcee has released viral tracks that include “SkeeYee,” “Shake Sumn Remix” featuring DaBaby, and the original “Pound Town,” which have all contributed to her success.
Of course, Sexyy’s rise to stardom comes with a fascination about her love life. And since the rumor mill has been in overdrive about the femcee dating fellow rappers, it’s time to get the scoop on her private life.
Who is Sexyy Red dating?
This answer isn't as simple as it should be. In case you’ve been out of the loop, Sexyy Red has been linked to multiple celebs since blowing up in the rap game.
For starters, social media users initially believed that Sexyy and fellow rapper NLE Choppa were a thing. The pair, who dropped their “Slut Me Out” music video in April 2023, shared a kiss in the project that got social media users going.
A video of the pair hanging out was shared, via Instagram gossip page KollegeKidd, of Sexyy calling the rapper her “boo.” However, the pair never confirmed or denied the rumors of a coupledom.
Just a few months later, social media exploded when the femcee posted photos of her and Drake snuggled up with one another. Sexyy posted the photos on Instagram and Twitter on July 19, 2023, with Drake planting a kiss on her cheek and her holding his head.
“I’m your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper,” Sexyy captioned the post.
Of course, rumors spread that the pair were dating since Drake also followed suit and posted the photos on his Instagram page at the time calling Sexyy his “rightful wife.” Not to mention, Sexyy has posted multiple photos of the pair together since then and also made an appearance during his “It’s All a Blur” tour.
And of course, neither Drake nor Sexyy have confirmed or denied the rumors of them getting close.
In September 2023, Sexyy took to Instagram Stories to post a photo of her new man. Per Hot New Hip Hop, the photo showed the two lying in bed and the man wearing an ankle monitor. However, his face was hidden.
"I like f--king wit drillaz… dread head killaz," she captioned the post alongside a heart emoji, the outlet shared.
The post led folks to believe that the mystery man could be rap legend Boosie Badazz, who immediately set the record straight about the rumors and threatened to block people over it.
So, it appears that Sexyy is either keeping her private life behind closed doors, dating her baby daddy, or is simply a single woman.
How many kids does Sexyy Red have?
One of Sexyy’s most iconic lyrics comes in the hit “Pound Town” which says, “I'm out here in Miami, looking' for the hoochie daddies…Where the [n-word] that get ratchet, My son need a new papi.”
From there, folks recognized that Sexyy is more than an artist, she’s also a mom. In a July 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, Sexyy got candid about her son.
Sexyy shared that her son Chuckie, who was born in 2020, is with her all of the time. Unfortunately, Chuckie’s father is currently incarcerated. Sexyy often raps about him in her music.
And while Sexyy is very partial to privacy, she opened up about the toll his imprisonment has taken on her.
“It’s a lot for me,” Red told the publication. “That’s my high school sweetheart. Free him. That’s my dog. I hate being on this journey without him. I have my momma, but I don’t have him.”
Despite the history Sexyy has with her first baby daddy, it seems she has moved on. The femcee, who was recently featured on Nick Wardo's track "Somethin,'" announced in October 2023 that she's pregnant with her second child.
Who is Sexyy Red's second baby daddy?
Although Sexyy has yet to reveal who her second baby daddy is, she has many people convinced it's Drake. To further fuel the rumors, Sexyy uploaded a photo of her and Drake in February 2024, both of which can be seen cradling her baby bump. In the post, she thanked Drake for "allowing me to b apart of yo album" and expressed that she is "foreverrrrr grateful."
Despite the convincing evidence the two have continued to put out, something tells us Drake isn't her baby daddy. And as we've seen with other big names in the entertainment industry (we're looking at you Halle Bailey), there's only so long a secret can be kept.
