Rapper Ne-Yo became a dad for the third time this week, and in a novel move he announced the birth via Snapchat.

Despite having 1.7m followers on Instagram and six times that amount on Twitter, the proud dad chose the picture-and-video sharing app to reveal his third child had arrived.

The photo, which shows his wife Crystal Renay holding her new son's tiny hand, was captioned "Prince SJ has arrived."

While we wouldn't put it past the rapper to have given his son a name like "Prince," it could just as easily be an affectionate nickname. There's no official confirmation of a name just yet, but many media outlets are speculating that it could be Shaffer Junior (SJ), in honour of Ne-Yo's real name, Shaffer Chimere Smith.

The rapper couldn't hide his excitement as his wife's due date approached, telling fans he was holding off on starting new music until after the birth.

Celeb Instagram account The Shade Room NYC also posted this (possibly leaked) photo, showing a smiling Crystal kissing her son on the head:

This is the first child for Ne-Yo and Crystal, who married just last month at a beach resort just outside of LA. However the rapper is no stranger to fatherhood –  he also has daughter Madilyn Grace, five, and four-year-old son Mason Evan from a previous relationship.

"We can't wait to start our life together," Ne-Yo told People magazine of the couple's future plans.

"We're looking forward to just being each others' best friend."

R&B star Ne-Yo is no longer a single man, ladies. The singer has married his longtime girlfriend, Crystal Renay in a private ceremony.

Crystal is also pregnant with Ne-Yo's child, and only has one month to go to her due date.

"We can't wait to start our life together," Ne-Yo told People. "We're looking forward to just being each others' best friend."

The couple announced their engagement last August, with Ne-Yo taking to Twitter:

Ne-Yo and Crystal are expecting a boy and it will be the singer's third child.

He already has a daughter and son with his former fianceé Monyetta Shaw.

Ne-Yo and his girlfriend Crystal Renay took to social media to share some very exciting news with fans. However, some people were confused as to what exactly the singer was celebrating.

Apparently many fans may have got their congratulations mixed up as Ne-Yo took to twitter to explain that while he and Crystal are expecting a baby next year, they are definitely not married.

 

Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!

The duo began dating in 2014 and this will be their first child together.

In February the pair sparked rumours of an engagement when they were spotted out and about with matching tattoos. Crystal’s reads SCS, which are the initials of Ne-Yos’ real name, Shaffer Chimere Smith.

According to RollingOut, some fans have not taken the news very well, with many criticising his new relationship after how things ended with his ex-fiancée.

The 35-year old singer is father to two children, 4-year old Madilyn and 3-year old Mason, with his ex-fiancée Monyetta Shaw. Monyette, who is currently a cast member on the VH1 reality series Atlanta Exes, has been very open about her relationship with Ne-Yo.

After being engaged for two years, the pair split in 2013. She spoke about having her tubes tied as she didn’t want to have more children while they were together. After their break up Ne-Yo apparently took to Instagram to defend the mutual decision.

He wrote in a post: "I've made my apologies to the people I feel I wronged. I was forgiven by those people. Anybody else passing judgment on me for my past mistakes and immaturities is more than welcome to it."
