Overview

• Paytas and husband Moses Hacmon revealed their son’s name on July 22 via her Just Trish podcast, theatrically unveiling an Aquaman shirt and matching statue in the delivery room.
• The announcement prompted thousands of online comments accusing her of “ruining” her child’s life and likening the choice to naming a pet, with some fans speculating the name is a publicity stunt.
• DC Comics weighed in on Instagram with a congratulatory “Welcome to the world Lil’ King” message, officially acknowledging the homage to their superhero.
• Paytas says her enduring Aquaman fandom and a doctor’s office poster solidified the decision after she and Hacmon considered other water-related names like Water Snake and even Aladdin.
• In response to the controversy, she confirmed she will undergo a tubal ligation to ensure Aquaman remains her last uniquely named child.
