Wale took to Instagram to announce the newborn's arrival, and it's clear by his post that he couldn't be happier to be a father.
"Overjoyed," he began an emotional post on Friday. "I named by album SHiNE when I knew my baby girl was on the way."

"You are my everything and I'll see to it we SHiNE my precious Zyla," he concluded the sweet post.
