Well guess what… Tasia didn’t care then and she doesn’t care now!

Amidst all of the online speculation and baby bump watches, Fantasia finally decided to make the big announcement.

Tasia took to the stage in Jacksonville, Florida yesterday (Sunday July 31, 2011) to profess to the world she’s not JUST FAT, she’s officially knocked up… pregnant… with child…

For a while I walked around figuring out what will they say and what will they think about me. But now I tell you I don’t live my life for folk.

So now that you know (for sure) that Fantasia is pregnant, does it really matter?

Are you still a fan of Fantasia’s musical abilities or does this change your opinion of her?
