"You are the first persons that I share this news with," Fantasia told the crowd, in a moment caught on video. "And I share this with you because I can relate to you. And for a while I walked around figuring out what will they say and what will they think about me. But now I tell you I don't live my life for folk. This child that I'm carrying, God has given me this child. And I don't have to hide it from none of y'all."
