Asafa celebrates son’s first birthday

And even Powell himself is amazed at how quickly time flies.

“Happy first birthday to my boy he’s growing so dam fast, 1 today and by turn around he’s 2 Ÿ¤¦Ÿ¾â€â™‚ï¸ many blessings moving forward â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ starting with your first birthday in quarantine. Love you son,†he wrote in a post on Instagram.

Amieke is Powell’s third child.

In a recent video on the couple’s YouTube channel, his wife, Alyshia, insisted that she would be getting pregnant again. This time, hopefully, it’ll be a girl.

“When we first met, you already have two kids, so I let you know that I want two, and you agreed to that,†she said.
