Congrats are in order. Media Take Out confirmed that popular R&B singer Muni Long and her husband are expecting their first child together.
Muni tried to hide her pregnancy, during her performance at the weekend’s BET Awards. She wore an oversized fluffy dress, which hid her belly. Here’s a screenshot of her outfit:
And here’s her performance, which was amazing:
After she finished, her husband met her backstage, and patted her stomach to congratulate her on the history she made on stage, confirming to those who didn’t know – that they’re expecting.
Media Take Out managed to get a few pics of that exchange:
Muni Long is a singer and songwriter married to Masimba Chibanda. Under the name Priscilla Renea, her solo debut studio album, Jukebox, was released through Capitol Records in 2009. She then spent the following decade co-writing songs for other recording artists, including the singles “California King Bed” by Rihanna, “Worth It” by Fifth Harmony, “Love So Soft” by Kelly Clarkson, “Imagine” by Ariana Grande, and the global chart-topper “Timber” by Pitbull featuring Kesha.
Returning to her career as a solo artist, her second studio album, Coloured (2018), was released via Thirty Tigers and Sony Music, and saw Hamilton exploring Americana and country soul genres.
After adopting the stage name Muni Long, she experienced major commercial success as an independent artist with the single “Hrs and Hrs”, which reached the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100; which led to her signing a record deal with Def Jam Recordings. She has also received a Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year through her work on Back of My Mind (2021) by H.E.R.
