Though Shaynah didn’t name-drop them, Jesseca, aka Judy, reacted on her Instagram Story. She flat-out denied she or Da Brat sourced their son’s name from Shaynah. The reality TV star also shared a video interview of Da Brat speaking about similar baby names in 2020.

“No negativity as we celebrate our PERFECT son, but let’s get 1 thing straight with LOVE. This is wife on Dish in 2020,” Judy wrote.

In the clip, Da Brat explains that her future child will have all of her names. Presuming she’d have a girl, she said the future child would be named “Legacy Shant Dupart,” adding the name would “carry on the legacy of [her] parents.”

“We didn’t have a daughter, but my wife’s pick of OUR son’s name is a perfect fit for him with NO ONE else’s child in mind, ESPECIALLY a person we no longer follow/interact with nor know wtf is going on in their life,” Judy aslo wrote in the post.

As previously reported, the couple welcomed True Legend Harris-Dupart on July 6 at seven pounds, eight ounces, and 20 inches long. Da Brat, who carried the child, called him “perfect in every way” and revealed new motherhood “feels like a dream” while speaking to PEOPLE.
