Rapper Lil Xan Expecting First Child

Reporter Karley Ross

On February 17th, rapper Lil Xan (real name Diego Leanos), announced that his newfound girlfriend, Annie Smith, are expecting their first child together. This came as shock to many of his fans due to the fact that he was recently hospitalized for eating too many Hot Cheetos and half of his own fans claiming he is not fit to take care of a child. Fans are also in shock because him and his ex girlfriend, Noah Cyrus, broke up only five months ago.

A day after Diego announced that he was going to be a father, Noah posted a photo on her Instagram story of her crying and then followed up with an Instagram post captioned, “I WILL be happy if it’s the last thing I do.” However, in an interview with a close source, they said “While this may sting a little, as it would with any breakup, she is completely over him and has moved past that part of her life.”

Moms usually wait until the baby is at least 12 weeks old to announce pregnancy to make sure everything is okay with the baby, but Diego says he was just too excited and couldn’t wait to tell his fans he was going to be a father. Diego and Annie announcing the pregnancy so early resulted in Annie receiving a bunch of unwanted feedback from mom critics. She then took it to her Instagram story to confront them in a post which said “...Yes I am still very early on and wasn’t planning on announcing until after 12 weeks but Diego was so excited to share this news because we are genuinely happy…” Mothers are also worried for the couple because Diego had just returned to rehab in late November.

Diego thanks Annie for “saving him,” ending the announcement with “I love you more than words can describe.”

He continued his Instagram post with “...all of you are invited to the gender reveal party I promise!”

Here at Gloucester High School, Sophomore Zane Given was shocked when told Lil Xan is going to be a father. “I feel he’s unfit to be a dad because he’s only 22 and can’t even take care of himself.”

Annie also shared a photo hinting for a wedding in the future. TMZ released information that Diego and Annie have been trying to get pregnant for a while now and have already began planning their wedding. They’ve also been picking out future baby names since they’ve been together. The couple is hoping to have a boy and have 2 more kids in the future.

Diego proposed to Annie not shortly after announcing the pregnancy. Annie confirmed with E! News that he proposed to her in a casual way at home. "It was just casual. We were talking about it really casually for a long time, like, we already knew we were going to get married, but we didn't talk about it in too much depth. We just knew it was going to happen eventually."
