Comedian and VH1 Couples Retreat star Michael Blackson has been in a league of his own for quite some time. Michael, who is known as the “African King of Comedy,” has been serving up the funny for decades. Michael has starred in films including 2000’s Next Friday, 2018’s Nobody’s Fool, 2021’s Coming 2 America, and more. And while Michael’s roles have been a great source of entertainment, his romantic life is equally intriguing.
Michael has had his share of ups and down on the relationship front — from cheating rumors to long-term sidechicks. Since the comedian has no qualms about spreading his seed, fans have long wondered if he has any children. And it turns out that Michael is a boy dad. So, how many kids does Michael Blackson have? Here’s the 4-1-1.
Michael Blackson is a father of five sons.
Cheers to fatherhood! According to Pure Net Worth, Michael is a father of five sons: Michael Jr. and twins Niko and Noah, and almost twins Michael Kyaire and his youngest son, Kweku. Let us explain.
While unfortunately, the identities of the children’s mothers are not known to the public, Michael has spoken out about his youngest son's mothers. In June 2025, he welcomed Michael Kyaire with his ex-fiancee, Rada Cheung Darling. The couple split soon after their son's birth when it was revealed that Michael had another baby on the way around the same time.
In October 2025, the I Got the Hook Up 2 star revealed in an Instagram post that his son, Kweku, was born in August.
"Good Day to all my family, friends and fans," Michael wrote in an Instagram post of him holding his boys. "The last few months God has blessed me but in blessing me came a lot of pain. Two months after Rada gave birth to little Mikey a female friend i’ve known for over 5 yrs also gave birth to my son King Kweku Blackson. My two boys has brought so much joy to my life but also caused me to lose my fiancé Rada."
"Mikey was born Tuesday june 17th 2025 and Kweku was Aug. 6 2025," he added. "My apologies for waiting so long but i didn’t know how to do it. My older twin boys who are now 18 didn’t find out till last night and my own mom don’t even know. I love kids and i want to thank God for bringing me two more healthy boys."
Michael further apologized to Rada for his actions and vowed to "be the best loving father in the world." He also said he was done having children, stating he was, "only dating women that ran out of period or had a hysterectomy." OK Mike!
The news of the comedian's new additions came as a shock since Michael tends to be very open about all aspects of his life. However, Michael has never posted any photos of his children on social media. Interestingly, Michael has posted various babies and children on his IG and often jokes about children not liking him. However, it seems he's more open to discussing his decisions regarding his younger children.
