Zonnique Is Expecting Her First Child
Zonnique is pregnant! Tiny Harris’ daughter and T.I.’s stepdaughter is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, rapper Bandhunta Izzy (né Israel James), as People reports.
The two have been dating for two years.”Literally every year, probably for the past three years, this same rumor [that I was pregnant] had come out,” Zonnique told People. “This time I actually am pregnant. It’s weird!”
Zonnique is currently five months along, and the 24-year-old said that so far her pregnancy has been “really easy.” “With it being my first time being pregnant, I had so many expectations and was thinking, ‘Oh, it’s going to be really hard,’ ” Zonnique said. “I never really had morning sickness.”
However, the singer admits that it’s difficult trying to navigate doctor’s visits during the pandemic. “It really sucks being pregnant during the coronavirus,” she says. “At first, I’m like, ‘This is the perfect time, like everybody is locked in. I don’t have to worry about going out. So if I want to hide it for however long, I can hide.’ ”
“But when it comes to going to doctor’s appointments, I go to all of them by myself. I ask every single time, ‘Can I bring my boyfriend?’ And they’re like, ‘No, only you can come,’ “ Zonnique shared.
“That’s been the worst part,” she adds. “I’m hoping by the time I’m ready to have the baby it will be over with. But I’m sure it won’t be, so I’ll be in there with one person, most likely. I’m just trying not to get my hopes too high anymore.”

Zonnique was initially “kind of sad at first” when she found out she was pregnant. “I have a million brothers and sisters so I’ve always been the one like, ‘I’m not having a baby anytime soon,’ ” she told People. “That was always my thing. So I was kind of sad at first, and my boyfriend was really excited from the jump. He was like, ‘You know it’s whatever you want to do.’ ”
“I was calling my cousin, and they were laughing at me because they already knew that I didn’t want to have a baby anytime soon,” Zonnique continued. “I was like, ‘Why are you guys laughing?’ And I’m just crying and stuff.”

She adds, “But after a while, I’m like, ‘Now I feel like I can do this. It’s something that will mature me and change me in a great way.’ I’m trying to wrap my head around it, and now we are here.”
