Khari Barbie Maxwell Is Already an Influencer Whose Name Was Chosen for It's Meaning - Meet Fetty Wap's Daughter

Khari Barbie Maxwell became famous because of her father, Willie Junior Maxwell II, a rapper, singer, and songwriter popularly known as Fetty Wap. Despite her father's fame, she is already making a name for herself as an influencer.

Khari Barbie Maxwell's parents are Fetty Wap and Masika Kalysha, an actress, reality television personality, singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and businesswoman.

She is her father's third child and has five siblings. Her father has six children with five different women, but she is the only one he has had with her mother.

Khari was born in Los Angeles on March 29, 2016, and weighed slightly over seven pounds. Her father was not around when her mother went into labor and was rushed to the hospital.

He was in New Jersey, but he boarded the next available flight once he heard the news. Although it was a 6-hour flight, he got to the hospital shortly after his baby girl was born.

The Inspiration Behind Khari Barbie Maxwell's Name

After Khari was born, her mother revealed that she wanted to give her daughter an African name with a strong meaning. Masika chose to do this because she and her siblings also had African names with strong meanings. In addition, she also wanted her daughter to have a fun name.

Her mother further gave the meaning of the names she chose. Khari means "queenly" because she is a future queen. It also means "born to rule and bring joy" because she brings joy to her mother's life.

Her first name also means "a joyful song;" after all, she is a music baby as both her parents are artists. Khari also got Barbie because her mother wanted her to have a fun iconic name that she could use as she grew older.

Khari Barbie Maxwell's Dad Once Doubted If She Is His Child

Khari's parents did not have a great relationship before she was born. Music brought them together; they collaborated on a song, reportedly dated, and even house-hunted.

After Khari's mother accidentally found out she was pregnant, she told Fetty, who informed her he was not ready to have another child as his youngest child was less than one year old.

The rapper also told her that if she decided to have the child, he would not help her with anything, and she would be alone. However, she was determined, proceeded with the pregnancy, and welcomed a beautiful daughter.

Khari's father's decision not to be involved became public after her mother announced she was pregnant. She named the rapper as the father, and he publicly denied her.

He congratulated her and whoever the father of the child was. He also said she was trying to pin the pregnancy on him because he was famous.

However, Khari's mother was determined to prove he was the father and fought for a paternity test. She stated that she had asked him several times, and he refused. She said:

"I tried to demand him taking a paternity test. He doesn't want to take one. I asked him seven times, 'Will you just volunteer and do it?' He refuses."

After refusing the paternity tests, the rapper told her he would see her at the hospital when their baby arrived. He kept his word and tried to make it for Khari's birth.
