The newborn has since then made several appearances on Flyysoulja's social media posts. However, several people left negative comments about the infant's appearance, especially his eyes, comparing him with the alien protagonist from the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Flyysoulja defended his son's looks against the online ridicule.

Despite the mean comments, the 24 year old rapper has continued to post his baby online.
