Taken by surprise.
LisaRaye McCoy revealed that she found out her sister, Da Brat, was expecting her first child “through social media.”
“I know you grown, but dang. I wanna marvel in your happiness ’cause that’s what it’s about,” she said on Wednesday’s episode of the “It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper” podcast, adding that she “feels a certain kind of way” about the situation.
“I did see the reveal of them expecting and expanding their family and I didn’t know anything about it as well,” the “Single Ladies” alum continued.
“I do realize that when people grow up … even in this situation when you find a partner, you find a good thing and you’re supposed to cling to that partner. I get that. But it’s supposed to be also a bonus. It’s supposed to be an add-on, not a subtraction.”
McCoy, 55, said that she respects the fact that her sister has “someone in her life” and for that, she will always “be forever happy and blessed.”
The sisters have grown distant since 2020 when, just like with her pregnancy news, McCoy found out about her sister’s sexuality through social media.
“My upsetness is actually my feelings is hurt. When she came out to the public, I know she’s going through a transition and stuff, but she have a new relationship, but this particular relationship, I haven’t heard anything. And when I say anything, I mean anything,” she said in a 2021 episode of “Iyanla: Fix My Life.”
On Tuesday, Da Brat revealed that she was expecting her first child with wife Jesseca Dupare.
The rapper debuted her growing baby bump on Instagram along with the caption, “BLESSINGS all 2023 ❤️❤️❤️. @hopefertility thanks so much.”
In the carousel of pics, the So So Def emcee — who is now 18 weeks along — cradled her bare stomach in an unbuttoned Chicago Bulls varsity jacket, red sweatpants and matching Jordan sneakers.
Dupart also appeared in some of the snaps, smiling at Da Brat while touching her baby bump.
The two first went public with their relationship in March 2020 before tying the knot two years later.
This will be the rapper’s first child and Dupart’s fourth. Da Brat previously suffered a miscarriage after having surgery to remove fibroids and polyps prior to her embryo transfer procedure.
