In the comedic chaos of parenthood, Michael Blackson managed to create quite a buzz by missing the birth of his son, Bruce Leroy, because he needed a caffeine fix! Yes, you heard that right! The comedian decided that a coffee run was more important than witnessing one of life’s biggest moments. Rada Cheang, Blackson’s fiancée, shared the amusing details, revealing that while he was busy hunting for java, she was keeping her cool without the distraction of his jokes in the delivery room.
Imagine the scene: labor pains, a supportive partner who suddenly disappears, and a dad-to-be winding up at the wrong hospital! Blackson was 30 to 45 minutes late, and let’s be honest—that’s some superhero-level bad timing! Rada joked that, ironically, Michael’s absence relieved some stress. Apparently, it can be a blessing to not have your partner cracking jokes when you’re in the throes of labor!
Despite missing the grand entrance, Blackson made sure he wouldn’t be the only one leaving the hospital empty-handed. He was quick to shower Rada with impressive “push presents” as an apology for his coffee detour. What a way to make up for it! Between the laughs and the gifts, one thing is certain: Blackson’s fatherhood journey will be filled with funny moments for sure.
