“Having 2 kids by a man that never wanted me to have his kids gotta be the most hurtful shit ever, and he’s constantly reminding me he never wanted this life with me…Mind you I have spent 8 years of my life with this same man.”

In response to a comment on her post, Greene wrote about having her first child, Lyrix, saying:

“My first was actually planned and manifested, by us both.”

“So sorry you are going thru this. pregnancy is hard enough, and to feel like you are in it alone is the worst. I pray for your healing! Your baby is worth it all!!”

“Time can't get here quick enough”

“Me and my child’s father, we go way back. I met him when I was homeless and going through it. He was a producer in the city already, so he worked with all the local artists. I had never really took singing serious, it was just something that I always loved to do. He was the first person outside of my family to say ‘Yo, you’re really dope. You can really sing and you can really make a living out of this.’”

While talking about her son, Layton Greene revealed what changed in her life when she found out she was pregnant. Greene said:

"Before I found out was pregnant with him, I was really in a deep dark space. When I found out I was pregnant, I’m like, ‘God, what you doing? What’s going on? This has gotta be a joke.’ Because I was on the edge, but God obviously knew what I needed.”
