Rohan, the son of late Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley, also posted a photo of the newborn along with a Bible verse from Zephaniah 3:16, which is reportedly the inspiration for the baby’s name.
“In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack,” Rohan wrote.
According to Vibe magazine, Zion also shared a photo of the baby, on his private Instagram account captioned, “If there ever was a question who I do it for…#myson.”
