Chicago rap music star Vic Mensa has kicked off 2025 with an emotional and significant reveal—introducing his son to the world through his new track and visual for “I Wanna Be Ready.” The 31-year-old artist and his longtime girlfriend welcomed their son, Mansa Musa Mensa, in May 2024, but chose to keep the news private until now.
Mensa explained his decision to wait, emphasizing his desire to protect his family’s peace during pregnancy and infancy. “With the world being the way it is and the internet, I just wanted to take my time,” he said.
The song offers a heartfelt message about fatherhood, with Vic expressing his dedication to being a present and protective parent. Mansa Musa not only inspires the lyrics, but also makes a special appearance in the music video, symbolizing a profound new chapter in Vic’s life and artistry. The release marks a powerful moment in his career as he navigates his evolving role as both a father and an artist.
