Days after American singer, Jhene Aiko filed for divorce from Nigerian husband Dot Tha Genius, the singer has made a surprising announcement that Big Sean will be her next baby daddy. The ‘Post to be’ singer made this declaration at their High Road Tour in Chicago last night, after performing for the excited audience. “So I started this groove with my next baby father. His name is Big Sean,” she said, adding, “you guys clap for Big Sean – make some noise!” Recall that after news of her divorce application broke, Aiko took to Twitter to set the records straight over claims that she cheated on Do That Genius.
