This Thursday, Cuban model Aliday Alter gave her Instagram followers a first glimpse of her newborn son, the child she shares with rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine. The announcement of the baby's birth, which Tekashi made last Sunday, quickly went viral online.
From her Instagram handle @aliday_alter, the 29-year-old Miami resident shared a photo of a baby with a head full of dark hair, sporting a beige pacifier. The infant was dressed in a white bodysuit embroidered with a sheep and beige pants from the children's brand Bornino.
The newborn is shown lying on a knitted white blanket, his tiny hand gently held by an adult hand with a pink manicure and a gold bracelet, capturing a tender moment.
The baby boy arrived on the morning of September 28 at 7:24 a.m., as Tekashi confirmed in a video he posted on Instagram.
The rapper, clearly overjoyed, made a bold statement in his announcement: "My son was born at 7:24 am, and by 11, in just four hours, my son made a million dollars, a million dollars," he declared, without elaborating on the source of the funds. "We're in a different league, kid," he added.
In the same video, Tekashi referenced Cuban santería, mentioning the orishas Yemayá and Ochún in connection with requests he had made to these deities, acknowledging his partner's cultural heritage.
This baby marks the first child together for the couple and the third for Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernández. The rapper has two daughters from previous relationships: Saraiyah Hernández with Sara Molina, and Briella Iris with Marlayna M.
Aliday and Tekashi began dating in April 2025. The pregnancy was publicly confirmed by the rapper in April 2026, shortly after his release from a three-month prison sentence for violating supervised release conditions. Tekashi revealed that Aliday became pregnant while he was incarcerated.
On May 11, the couple held a gender reveal party in Miami, live-streamed via the Kick platform, where blue confetti and fireworks confirmed they were expecting a boy.
The event was not without controversy: Tekashi stated that he would have considered terminating the pregnancy if the baby had been a girl, sparking backlash on social media.
Throughout her pregnancy, Aliday remained active on social media, posting updates and photos alongside the rapper, building anticipation among their followers.
With the release of this first photo, the Cuban model provides a glimpse into the life of the baby who, according to his father, was born "in a different league."
