Keyshia Ka’oir shares first full pics of baby Iceland Davis, leaving Gucci Mane beaming with pride
Millionaire entrepreneur and wife of Gucci Mane, Keyshia Ka’oir, has shared the first look of her and the rapper’ second child, baby Iceland. Ka’oir gave birth three weeks ago but hasn’t shared many details about her daughter except her name. On Thursday, she shared that her little girl was celebrating her three weeks milestone, and she also shared cute newborn photos of baby Iceland.
“I C E L A N D #3weeksOld #IcelandKaoirDavis,” she captioned the series of photos. Gucci Mane had a much longer caption when he shared the photos of his baby girl. “I got the prettiest daughter in the world Dada love you so much the So Icy Princess Iceland Davis,” he wrote.
The photos showed baby Iceland wearing shades of white and pastel pink, lying asleep on a rocker with a sweet smile, and in another photo, she is seen propped up on her elbow while sleeping on the rim of a bucket.
The baby was also swaddled in a pink blanket with roses around her head while she slept peacefully.
Fans of K’aoir reacted to the baby’s beautiful features. “When you make pretty babies you can show them off at 20 minutes after birth!! But ALL babies are beautiful,” one follower wrote. Another said, “One thing you gonna do is have a pretty baby.”
“Glad you’re not funny acting when it comes to showing your babies,” another follower said.
Ka’oir and Gucci Mane share another child, a son, Ice Davis, who was born in 2020. The rapper and his wife got married in 2020, and each share children from previous unions.
In the meantime, Ka’oir also appears to be healing after childbirth, as she recently shared that she had to have a c-section and was finally recovering and getting her body back in shape with her famous Ka’oir teas. The businesswoman shared the details about her recovery in a post last week.
“I started my pills last night for the first time since being pregnant & LAWD OF MERCY! I cuss myself! I said ain’t Noway! NEVER AGAIN! THIS IS TEWWW much I was so HOT & was sweating,” she wrote in a post on Instagram.

Tributes pour in after popular Jamaican Disc Jockey Arif Cooper passed away.
DJ Arif Cooper was deejaying at a party on Saturday night when he collapsed and died, reports claimed in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The entertainer was well known in the music fraternity as one of Jamaica’s best DJs and as a radio broadcaster on the local radio station, FAME 95FM.
According to several news reports, Cooper reportedly died from a suspected heart attack. Details of the medical condition are scarce, but fans at an event held at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in St Andrew on Saturday night says that the disc jockey appeared normal while playing a set at the party before he collapsed and appeared to be having a “seizure.” He was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.
Multiple sources confirmed with Urban Islandz that Cooper was pronounced dead at the hospital by medical staff.
Arif Cooper first began deejaying in the thriving 1990s music culture starting in 1991, but his schooling in music came much earlier thanks to his father, Michael Ibo Cooper, the founder and a member of the legendary reggae band Third World.
Cooper spent much time with his father as a child and benefitted from learning music by playing the piano, and later he would go on to be able to study many popular artists like Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, and Sting.
He later joined his father on the road as a crew member for Third world as the band performed across the world.
Cooper later set out on his solo DJ career, starting as a house party DJ but quickly rose in popularity. He, along with several others, founded the popular Syndicate Disco that operated from 1992-1997, and he later left as he took on gigs around the world as a DJ for clubs, parties, and shows in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, and Japan.
Over the course of his three-decade career, Cooper toured the world as DJ for artists like Sean Paul, Voice Mail, and Alaine and he has also worked with Vybz Kartel, Tami Chynn, Jah Cure, Elephant Man, Baby Cham, Demarco, Aidonia, Konshens, Wayne Marshall, and Christopher Martin.
Sean Paul shared a tribute for the artist on Sunday morning.
“Jah know, still cyaah believe I woke up to this news,” Sean Paul wrote. “So much great musical memories shared with this legendary producer and DJ. Condolences to his family and friends.”

Lil Wayne brought out Nicki Minaj during his set at Rolling Loud California last night.
Skeng is rubbing shoulders with some of the greatest as he was spotted enjoying the company of Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne on Saturday night after the latter appeared as a guest during Lil Wayne’s set. The “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” rapper, along with 2 Chainz and Gudda Gudda, all joined Lil Wayne at Rolling Loud California. Excited fans were treated to the Young Money leader and the Queen of Rap performing their hits “Bedrock,” “High School,” “Truffle Butter,” and others.
Wearing a sexy tie-dye mini-dress and sporting the pink and red wig from her “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” launch, the new label owner and Wayne began their joint set to “High School.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, no need for an introduction,” Lil Wayne says as she waves his hand. “The Motherf***king Queen,” he added.

“Cali make some mf noise right now, where my bad b***hes at, where my vatos at? Where my real n****s at,” Minaj says to the audience before the instrumental for the song comes on to thunderous screams.
Nicki Minaj also performed her song “Super Freaky Girl” before jumping into her latest No. 1 track, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” which she performed for the first time since the song was released last Friday.
“I just put out this song yesterday, so Imma just let it rock,” Minaj says. The rapper also stopped the song halfway after calling out the deejay, “is the song offbeat?” she asks.
“I said I don’t f**k with horses. I said it’s 700 horses when we fixing to leave but I don’t f**k with horses since Christopher Reeves,” the rapper clarified one of the lyrics of the track.
The rapper had seemingly planned a solo performance for fans which she cut short due to audio issues.
“Stop, what the f**k is good. Yow Juice, fix my mf-ing mix,” Minaj says as the song “Fendi Prints” came on instead of “Red Ruba Da Sleeze” as she directed.

“You know I don’t get down like that when the President is in the building, you know I don’t f**k when the GOAT is in the building, I gotta do this sh*t right…you know when Young Money in the building the Queen gotta show the f**k out right,” she added.
The Trinidad-born rapper appeared annoyed at one point as she rolled her eyes when “Chun Li” came on and stopped several times. The audio chips in and out, and it becomes awkward as Lil Wayne tries to talk to fans, but the music comes on abruptly before cutting out again.
In the meantime, Nicki Minaj was all smiles backstage as she posed for photos with Skeng, Mac Maine, and others.
There are reports that she has signed Skeng Don as one of four new artists to her new label, which she announced this weekend. Skeng has not confirmed the reports. On the other hand, the label name has not been revealed yet, but it will be an imprint of Republic Records, the artist shared as she also named veteran A&R Wendy Goldstein, who formerly served as co-president of Republic Records, as head of her label. It’s unclear if Goldstein has left her substantive position at Republic to take on Minaj’s label.
Nicki Minaj also shared a few clips from her appearance.

DJ Envy, Lil Mama and Erica Mena have called out Angela Yee over comments that she was the only woman on the Breakfast Club show when she was the show’s co-host.
On Friday, Angela Yee appeared on the Tamron Hall Show, where she opened up about her stint on The Breakfast Club with co-hosts Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy. Yee left the show at the end of last year after 12 years as co-host. While on the show, Yee agreed with a statement by Hall that she worked mainly with men on the show, and she felt unsupported while as a co-host.
“I was the only woman who worked there, too; I mean when it came to producers, camera people—and it wasn’t an easy room for me to be in,” she says in a now-viral clip.
“I feel like I did need more like backup you know because even things that I felt, as a woman … somebody can’t understand your point of view because they’re not coming from where you come from. So that was hard for me too, to be the only woman there.”
Yee further claimed that in many of the interviews which put women on the spot, she had no control despite being the one to face most of the backlash compared to Charlamagne and Envy.
“Sometimes I would feel like I got it harder than [Charlamagne tha God] did for some things that he said,” she began. “And so I also want to make it clear that we’re all three individuals. You say what you say, feel how you feel, and I do too. But it’s hard because people affiliate you with the whole group.”
Yee’s comments appeared to rub rapper Lil Mama wrong as she bashed the Lip Service podcaster for pretending to be a victim when she fully participated in dragging other women on the show.
“Oh PLEASE. She was up there playing foul games too,” the artist commented. “She has helped make multiple women (of color especially) feel like the only woman in that room numerous times.”
Many fans also commented on the incident in 2011 when Lil Mama broke down in tears following questions and statements by Charlamagne as well as how K. Michelle was treated on the show some years back.
DJ Envy also disputed Yee’s comments as being the only woman working on the show. “Just not true,” he said in one comment and added in another, “There are plenty of women that work behind the scenes on [The Breakfast Club].”
Erica Mena also called out Angela Yee accusing her of being an enabler in DJ Shrimp living a double life.
“Is this the same woman who helped Dj shrimp play along in living this double life once upon a time?” Mena questions. “One of the few at the time that actually knew the truth of him being married. (Because the truth is for years he never openly acknowledge that – which is why I was one of many he a was with) She would be hanging with us KNOWING I was absolutely unaware that he was indeed married. But still joined in with him fabricating this Cry Wolf scenario on radio just so he can save face in his broken marriage. The same woman that spoke about my child on air just help him degrade me?! The Fc@king Nerve! Boy do things come full circle.”
Yee has responded to Envy and Lil Mama’s comments.
