Belly has been XO's secret weapon for years. An accomplished songwriter and rapper in his own right, he's proven his worth in the music industry throughout the past 15 years of his career, before breaking into the American market. In the past few years alone, his penmanship has received praise from the likes of Jay-Z and the late Nipsey Hussle.

Unfortunately, not all has been well in Belly's world. Though it may have felt like he hasn't been as visible in the past few years, he shared an open letter on Twitter where he gave fans a brief update on what's been going on in his life.
"The last couple years have been fucked up for me in almost every way. I've been in and out of therapy for over a year (depression, PTSD). I gotta do physical therapy twice a week (back/neck injuries) and I can't even tour or travel too much. I got put on anti-depressants (I'm off now) lost my confidence and regained most of the weight that I lost. Emotionally, mentally & physically, I was rock bottom," he wrote.
However, he did acknowledge the silver lining in his situation -- there's only going up from here.
"If anything can bring me back from the ashes; it's music, my family & my fans. I don't need sympathy or pity from anybody, I'm only saying this to let y'all know: I won't let down and die," he continued before teasing the release of new music. "See you next Wednesday."

Meek Mill’s GF Milan Harris Shows Off Baby Bump In Bikini
Meek Mill’s very pregnant girlfriend, Milan Harris, put her growing baby bump on display in a bright blue bikini during the couple’s trip to Jamaica.
Meek Mill‘s soon-to-be baby mama, Milan Harris, gave everyone a glimpse of her super pregnant self when she shared some shots of herself posing in a bright blue bikini while on vacation in Jamaica. It looks like the fashion designer, who founded the Milano di Rouge brand, could be due pretty soon, as her growing baby bump is getting bigger and bigger. She shared the gorgeous shots of herself rocking the turquoise suit along with a matching cover-up on Instagram, adding an inspiring caption about becoming your best self.
“Life long leaders are life long learners,” she wrote. “Still Learning how to be a better woman, learning how to love, learning how to run my business, learning to be a better leader, learning to be a better public speaker, learning how to do my makeup and other girly things, learning to have patience (might be impossible tho), learning how to be a better person, sister, daughter, friend & the best mother possible.” She also tagged Womanaire, a club that aims to “help women gain confidence through inspiration, motivation & conversation.”
Milan later shared another photo of herself on her Jamaican getaway, but this time in a long, floral dress. “Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from negativity,” she wrote in the caption, before asking her followers an important question about when the big day comes. “Did any of my followers have a natural birth at a birthing center or at home?” she asked “I watched the documentary ‘The Business of Being Born’ and it got me reconsidering hospital.”

Milan announced her pregnancy back in December at one of her fashion shows, though she and Meek didn’t confirm that he was the father until much later. The two of them seem very happy in their relationship, and we can’t wait until their little bundle of joy arrives!
