Gucci Mane's wife Keyshia K'aoir is facing backlash for announcing her pregnancy in suspender lingerie and from a bathtub. The entrepreneur, married to rapper Gucci since 2017 delighted her 5.8 million followers with the news she's expecting her first child with the 40-year-old music face, but reactions proved more mixed once the photo went viral.
Both Keyshia and Mane, born Radric Davis, have children from previous marriages. The stunning and feminine-strong pregnancy photo is now all over the internet, including popular The Shade Room Instagram and The Daily Mail.

Scroll for the shot and the reactions. Keyshia, who runs a beauty line and waist-training brand, updated her Instagram ahead of the weekend to drop the news. The 35-year-old Jamaican-born star posted a snap of herself flaunting her new baby bump while posing against a white tub and rocking sexy black and suspender lingerie.
Keyshia, also going daring in thigh-high stockings, opted out of a fluffy family caption, instead joking that she'd been putting "Still Remember" rapper Mane through his paces.

Keyshia captioned her photo: "I ain’t athletic but on @laflare1017 D I did gymnastics???."
While congratulations on Keyshia's IG poured in and landed her gushing comments from stars including singer Normani and "Power" actress La La Anthony, replies over on The Daily Mail seemed out to challenge the racy shoot.
Over 480 users upvoted the following comment.
"Why...who...would ever announce a pregnancy...in strappy lingerie??? Come to think of it, why would anyone post a pic in lingerie at all? Zero class."
Suggestions that the photo was in poor taste continued.

Keyshia has openly addressed both her and Gucci Mane having children from previous marriages. "Gucci and I both have children," she said during her 2017 televised wedding, adding it was a "situation where I'm proud to be a mother, but I need it to be private." The star is already a mother of three.
Gucci, meanwhile, last summer agreed to pay $10,000 a month to his baby mama Sheena Evans, with whom he shares a 13-year-old son.
Keyshia, harshly likened to a "stripper" by one user, was also deemed "classless."

"She's so pretty but why lord? Why is she practically nekkid in these streets with some strings and a baby bump? Those two things just don't mix in public lol not for me anyway!" another fan wrote.
The shoot proved a double whammy deal as Mane posted a similar photo to his Instagram, where over 800,000 likes have been left. The dad-to-be wrote: "My wife pregnant my life is great @keyshiakaoir ❤️??."
Keyshia and Gucci tied the knot during the BET-aired "The Mane Event" in a $1.7 million ceremony back in October of 2017.
