That’s A Fiiiiine Grandpappy Right Thurr! Proud…
Prince Williams/ Phillip Faraone
We can now formally say that’s a fiiiiiine grandpappy proper thurr, when it comes to a sure St. Louis rapper.
Fans had been stunned to be taught about Chingy’s kids (and grandchild!) this week after watching the hip-hop star’s latest sit-down on The Jason Lee Show on Sept. 2. In fact, the rapper revealed that he has a well-known son, who you may know from Disney’s Crater and Netflix’s Family Reunion: Isaiah Russell-Bailey.
Chingy talks about his kids on The Jason Lee Show.
Chingy, now 46, opened up about fatherhood when the subject of intimacyyy Red got here up. The rapper revealed to Jason that his near-30-year-old son, Mykael, went to college with the “Pound Town” hitmaker, which took Lee by whole shock.
“Wait, so you have a 30-year-old son?” he requested with a look of shock. “So, do you have two kids or three kids,” he clarified, to which Chingy fortunately replied:
“I have four kids: two boys, two girls.”
Still reeling from the fatherhood reveal, Jason admitted he knew about Chingy’s two younger daughters, Keilana Timms and Galaxii Bailey. But sons? That was news to him. So Chingy dropped another bombshell: his youngest son,19-year-old Isaiah Russell-Bailey, is a “big actor” out in California.
Turns out, Isaiah Russell-Bailey has been quietly building a identify for himself since bursting onto the scene in 2018. He starred in the Netflix household comedy Family Reunion (alongside Tia Mowry and Loretta Devine), enjoying Shaka — the mischievous but big-hearted son of the McKellan household as they relocate to small-town Georgia. From there, he leveled up to leading-man standing, enjoying Caleb Channing in Disney+’s 2023 sci-fi journey movie, Crater.

In addition to appearing, Isaiah is thought for the dance videos he does alongside his mother, Brittany Perry-Russell.
Chingy is a proud grandfather, too.
But Chingy wasn’t completed blowing minds. He then dropped the news that his older son, Mykael, had a son of his own.
“My son got a son,” he gushed fortunately.
“So you’re a grandfather?” Lee requested, shocked.
Chingy rapidly interjected:
“I tell them don’t call me that. Call me pops,” he laughed. “I ain’t no granddaddy. I’m used to grandaddies being like 60. I ain’t nothing but like 46, that sounds crazy!”
Fans in the feedback had been just as blindsided as Jason.
“I have no one to talk about this with! Cause wtf I didn’t know Isaiah Russell-Bailey was his son ,” one TikTok consumer wrote.
“Shaka is Chingy’s son??? My daughter watches him all the time on Netflix!” another added.
And a third merely summed up the collective shock:
“Chingy, a grandpa?”
Honestly, same. We’re still processing it too. Read more about Chingy’s interview on The Jason Lee Show after the flip.
