The DJ then appears with a smile on his face, wearing a T-shirt that features the following words on top alongside a loading sign:
"Dad to be. Please wait…"
One of the hashtags in the post revealed that the baby is due in March 2025. The comments section was flooded with best wishes from Tigger's followers and close friends, with many expressing happiness over the news.
Meanwhile, Tigger has kept the details of his partner a secret, and her identity remains unknown for now.
Big Tigger was previously in a relationship with Keshia Knight Pulliam
While the Bronx, New York native's personal life has been out of the limelight for a long time, his romance with Keshia had once created a lot of headlines. According to E! News, the duo split in 2015 after dating for three years.
The news of the relationship was reportedly confirmed by Keshia through social media in 2013, as per Black America Web. Knight Pulliam shared a few pictures at the time, posing with Big Tigger, and wrote below the post:
"Happy Birthday My Love… My partner in life, love & silliness @bigtiggershow!!!"
Following her split from Tigger, Keshia exchanged vows with the NFL star Edgerton Hartwell a year later. However, the marriage did not last for more than six months since the latter appealed for divorce in June 2016, and Keshia announced her pregnancy a month before that.
On the other hand, Big Tigger appeared on his radio show the same year, dismissing that he was the baby's father.
"Could not have impregnated a female that I have not spoken to nor seen nor been in the physical presence of… since our breakup. Any insinuation, speculation, intimation or rumor of me being the father of that young lady's beautiful child… just not true," he explained.
He said that he respects the "concept of marriage," adding that his father tied the knot thrice and he does not support any man who leaves his pregnant partner. He mentioned that he won't undergo a paternity test to confirm that he was not lying.
Big Tigger has gained recognition over the years as the host of his self-titled show that airs on V-103 on weekdays. Furthermore, he appeared as the host of other programs such as BET: Uncut and Rap City. His voice has also been featured on the albums of popular artists like Too Short, Method Man, and more.
