blackbear just shared a touching new post with his fans. The 29-year old rapper announced that he is now a father. If that wasn’t enough to get the emotions flowing, he named his child one of the coolest things.

blackbear and his girlfriend Michele Maturo first announced that they would be having a child back in September.

Back in September, blackbear and Maturo both took to social media to announce that they would be having a baby boy.

Then, in December, Maturo shared a picture saying she was ready for Midnight to finally get out of her so she could hold the little fella.

 

Well, aside from a slight middle name change from Morissey to Thomas, the pair brought a beautiful child into the world on Jan. 26. Named Midnight Thomas Musto, the child weighs 7lbs and 3oz. Again, blackbear and Maturo took to socials to share some touching comments and pictures of baby Midnight.

Congratulations to blackbear and Michele Maturo on the birth of baby Midnight. We’re sure you’re absolutely going to crush it as parents.

More blackbear

blackbear recently showed off some of his new ink on social media. We knew the genre-blending rapper and musician grew up n the scene but he might be more of a heavy metal fan than he lets. His most recent tattoo is for Slipknot. Nestled on his arm that features an Alkaline Trio tattoo and the spider-webbed elbow is the simple word “Slipknot.”

It doesn’t get more direct of band shout-out than just getting their name in plain text on your body.

blackbear, or Mat Musto started as the frontman of Florida-based pop-punk act Polaroid before rising through the pop world by writing and producing tracks for everyone from Justin Bieber to G-Eazy to making a name for himself as blackbear.

His start in pop-punk is no surprise given Musto was rocking Rancid tees and plaid pants in fourth grade. A self-described fan of blink-182, the rapper’s babysitter expanded his horizons to bands such as New Found Glory and Alkaline Trio

Over the summer, blackbear released “hot girl bummer” (after defending it from Megan Thee Stallion fans who called it a parody). The following month he teamed up with nothing, nowhere. and blink-182 drummer Travis Barker for their collaborative BLOODLUST EP for one song, “BACK2YOU.”

blackbear is set to work with Barker again as he produces Machine Gun Kelly’s upcoming pop-punk album Tickets To My Downfall. He first teased the collab in early December before confirming blackbear joins YUNGBLUDTrippie Redd and Young Thug on the LP.

YUNGBLUD and bear are no strangers to working together either as the teamed up with Marshmello on the former’s latest release, “Tounge Tied.”

So, blackbear is no stranger to good old-fashioned rock and roll. We’re sure he’s been a Slipknot fan for a while but given the recent success of their album We Are Not Your Kind we expect to see a lot more Slipknot tattoos to come. Check out the ink below.
