Babies born with trisomy 13 can develop microcephaly, kidney problems, cleft palate, and more. KK addressed the people who made the cruel remarks.
Jokes have often been made about Keke Wyatt being always pregnant, but her current situation is no laughing matter. The acclaimed singer is known for her incredible voice, but she has also developed a reputation for being a consistent kid. Wyatt has a large family that continues to grow by the year, and she recently announced a few weeks ago that she is expecting her 11th child.
She and Nick Cannon have both bore the brunt of verbal jokes and quips from social media users, but Keke recently returned with the grim news that her unborn child is struggling in the womb.
During a live performance, Wyatt elaborated on his child's health issues in the song.
"I found out the doctors say my baby has trisomy 13," she sang through her tears. The baby has a rare disorder where chromosome 13 appears three times, either in full or in part. Babies with trisomy 13 are often born with certain birth defects that can include microcephaly, cleft palate, cleft lip, hernia, kidney problems, clogged fists, extra fingers or toes, and more. According to reports, these babies often do not survive for more than a few weeks.
There has been an outpouring of support for Keke Wyatt and her family during this difficult time, but there are others who have sent her cruel comments. She addressed the negativity on Instagram.
Wyatt said, "It was a moment that didn't go as planned during my show, but at the end of the day I felt it was my feeling to share or encourage other women who are facing this battle." "To all the disgusting people who are wishing ill on me and my baby. Say what you want about me, I'm used to it... no weapon will be held against me [raised hand emoji] But an innocent unborn child?? Be careful in laying your mouth on people. I pray that when life knocks on your front door, God grant you grace and you will not reap what you sow."
