Congratulations are in order for the OG, Too Short

Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ that Short is now a first-time father at the age of 53. Too Short fathered his daughter, Yanni Shaw, with his girlfriend, Sue Ivey, in December. He decided to keep the news of her birth out of the public eye, but that's expected to end soon.

The insider claims that Too Short is working on a documentary with Ray J and his manager, David Weintraub, that will be focused on entertainers raising daughters. 

Short Dog is known as a forefather of rap in the Bay Area. He cemented himself as an underground legend at a very young age, giving him an expansive career. Despite being famous for so long, the rapper has managed to avoid fatherhood until his early 50s. The rapper's age combined with his pimp-inspired, player lyrics has fans reacting to Short's newest family member.
