Singer Lauryn Hill has become a grandmother.
The 41-year-old’s oldest son Zion Marley, 19, and his girlfriend welcomed their son Zephaniah into the world over the weekend.

But proud grandfather Rohan Marley, the son of reggae legend Bob Marley, took to social media to celebrate the baby’s arrival.
And the 44-year-old captioned a snap he reposted from his son’s private account with a passage from the Bible saying, “In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.”
Zion also gushed about his new arrival in a snap, saying, “If there EVER was a question who I do it for… #myson (sic).”
He also shared a snap of his baby’s beautiful mother without naming her.
However, the teenager paid a heartfelt tribute to her, captioning it, “Another super strong woman in my life right here! Zephaniah’s mother.
“Thank you for bearing him and putting up with everything I put you thru.. idk how you do it but you deserve all the love and all the respect.. you are a WARRIOR bringing in little “Zeph Curry” #LIFE #LOVE.”
Lauryn who found fame as a member of the Fugees has five children with Rohan, whom she never married, and a sixth with a man whose identity has never been disclosed.
