Sukihana Welcomes Baby Girl and Brings the Placenta Home

Sukihana has welcomed a baby girl, marking the latest addition to a family that already includes three sons. On Monday, July 20, the rapper shared a photo on Instagram from the delivery room, showing her with her newborn daughter, though she did not reveal the baby’s name or birth weight.

She has been posting pieces of the pregnancy journey on a separate Instagram account, @suki_with_the_fertile_coochie, and it appears the Up on Me rapper went into labor on Sunday, July 19. According to the posts, her doula and other family members were there to support her through the birth.

One of the more unusual details to emerge from the delivery came in a separate video showing the newborn’s placenta being packed in a cooler of ice so it could be taken home. Sukihana’s doula, Janisa Camille, also known as Momma Divine, explained the decision in an Instagram message:

“Whether you choose to encapsulate it, bury it beneath a sacred tree, return it to the earth, create keepsakes, infuse it into products, honor it through ceremony, or simply preserve it until you decide what feels right…& of course we secured [Sukihana’s] first home,” wrote Suki’s doula.

The practice has long circulated around childbirth, and the Mayo Clinic notes that some people eat the placenta raw or cooked, while others turn it into smoothies or capsules. Supporters claim it can help with postpartum depression and support hormone balance, mood, and energy. But there is no scientific evidence proving those benefits, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned against consuming placenta, especially when it has not been properly prepared or stored.

This is Sukihana’s fourth child and her first with boyfriend and music producer Snoop.
