Heavy-K celebrates son’s birthday

Seasoned music producer and DJ Heavy-K has no regrets about having his seven-year-old son, who has cerebral palsy.

The star reflected in a short but emotional post on his Instagram timeline recently and shared a snap of the boy, saying he wouldn’t change a thing. “You may be different, sort of challenging, but I have no regrets about having you. I will always love you and will take care of you until my last breath. Happy seventh Birthday, my boy,” he wrote.

His followers were happy for him and his son.

“God gives these beautiful souls to only the right people that can shower them with the kind of love they need during their journey. Happy Birthday to Drumboss Jr,” one commented.

He opened up to TshisaLIVE about his journey as a dad raising a child with special needs when the son was turning two.

“Being a dad has been and still is amazing. It was unfortunate our firstborn did not get enough oxygen when he was born, which damaged his brain and affected his ability to move. That part is challenging, but at the same time I believe God doesn’t make a mistake. My son is not a burden. With him, God is testing my trust in him.”

“As a father to a special child, it is all in my hands. There are a lot of potential treatments that can be done to help him be the best version of himself.”
