He was born just two days before Christmas, named after his father’s most iconic word, and had an executive producer credit before he could even walk.
Ice Davis is not your average celebrity kid. He is the first child born to Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’oir, and from the moment his parents announced his arrival, the internet fell completely in love. His face ended up on a major hip-hop album cover at just four months old. He received a diamond-encrusted Patek Philippe watch for his first birthday. And he already has his own Instagram page with a following that most adults would envy.
But behind all the bling and the social media buzz is the story of a child who genuinely transformed his father and gave one of hip-hop’s most complicated figures his first real experience of hands-on fatherhood. Here is everything you need to know about Ice Davis.
Birthday, Age, and the Night He Arrived
Ice Davis was born on December 23, 2020. That made him a Christmas gift that came two days early, a detail his parents have leaned into ever since.
Gucci Mane announced the birth on Instagram with a photo of himself holding his newborn son in front of their Christmas tree, writing: “My wife just gave me a 7 lb. 1 oz. baby boy. His name is ICE DAVIS. Thank you, Mrs. Davis. He’s here.”
As of December 23, 2025, Ice Davis turned four years old. He is currently four years old and growing up in the kind of luxury that very few children on the planet will ever experience.
Keyshia Ka’oir matched her husband’s excitement immediately. She took to Instagram to announce the arrival of their son, writing that he was “so darn cute and perfect.”
The announcement sent fans into a frenzy. People had been waiting since the pregnancy reveal in August 2020, and the moment finally came right at the holiday season, which felt completely on brand for a family that has never done anything small.
The Name That Said Everything
If you know anything about Gucci Mane, you already understand why his son is named Ice.
The word “icy” has been part of Gucci’s brand identity for decades. His label is called 1017 Records. His crew has long been associated with ice, diamonds, and the cold aesthetic that runs through his music and his personal style. Naming his son Ice was not just a cute celebrity baby name. It was a declaration.
The baby was dressed in a sleeveless navy and tan striped top with a matching hat and two diamond chains around his neck, one reading “100” and the other reading “Ice,” when he was first publicly revealed.
Even the Instagram handle his parents created for him made the vision clear: @icedavis1017. The 1017 is a direct reference to his father’s record label. This child was introduced to the world with branding already in place.
The Album Cover That Made History
Most babies get a scrapbook. Ice Davis got an album cover.
Gucci Mane’s album Ice Daddy, released on June 18, 2021, featured his son as the cover art. It was also the first time the couple had publicly revealed their son’s face.
The album is named directly after Ice Davis, who was almost six months old when it was released. And Gucci did not stop there.
He announced the album alongside the reveal, writing: “PRE-SAVE My new album #ICEDADDY available at midnight everywhere! Executive produced by my son @icedavis1017.”
An executive producer credit at four months old. That is a sentence that has never been written about another human being in the history of music.
Gucci Mane explained his thinking around the album, saying: “I always want my music to talk about what was going on in my life.” And at that point in his life, Ice Davis was the centre of everything.
His First Birthday and a $150,000 Watch
When most one-year-olds are getting wooden toys and cake, Ice Davis was getting something considerably more extravagant.
For his first birthday, his parents threw him a Cocomelon-themed birthday party complete with a three-tiered cake, gifts, and plenty of family fun. Ice was dressed head to toe in Gucci attire, complete with designer clothing and expensive jewelry.
But the detail that stopped the internet cold was the watch.
Ice Davis was gifted a Patek Philippe 28mm “Baby Chandelier” by Pristine Jewelers for his first birthday. The timepiece was fully set with baguette-cut diamonds and carried a price tag of $150,000.
The watch uses the ample space on the Nautilus face to display hundreds of baguette diamonds, with the bezels fitted in 18k white gold. For context, this is a watch that most adults will never be able to afford in their lifetime, sitting on the wrist of a child who had just learned to stand up.
Keyshia marked the occasion on Instagram with genuine emotion. She wrote: “Wow! Mama’s baby! I remember like yesterday when you were born! One of the happiest days of my life! Mommy loves you so much, ICEY! Happy Birthday, my beautiful baby.” Gucci added his own message, writing that he had his son’s back forever.
How Ice Changed Gucci Mane As a Father
This is arguably the most important part of Ice Davis’s story, and it has nothing to do with jewelry or album covers.
Gucci Mane has been open about the fact that becoming a hands-on father to Ice was an entirely new experience for him, even though he already had an older son, Keitheon.
He told Billboard that he felt like a first-time father despite already having a teenage son, explaining that he and Keitheon’s mother were “kind of like strangers” and that he had never experienced what it meant to truly care for an infant from the beginning.
He admitted, “I never knew how much attention you had to pay to a baby. It’s not easy. It’s a great thing, and I love it, but it’s definitely challenging to be a parent.”
That honesty from a man who built a career on projecting toughness was striking. Ice did not just give Gucci a son to love. He gave him a mirror. A reason to show up differently. A chance to be present in a way he had not been before.
Gucci has said that becoming a father made him less critical of his own parents, adding: “Now I see that we’re all humans and do the best we can.” That is a significant statement from someone who grew up with an absent father and has spoken openly about the pain that caused.
Growing Up in the Spotlight and the Social Media Fame
Ice Davis has his own Instagram page, and the numbers on it tell you everything about how the public feels about this child.
The page already had over 270,000 followers, regularly featuring family moments and snapshots of his life. His parents have been intentional about what they share, giving fans enough to stay engaged without overexposing him.
In late 2024, Keyshia shared new photos of Ice sporting cornrows with beads, diamond stud earrings, and a Gucci logo shirt. She captioned the post: “My baby is starting to look like me now. I love this lil boy so much.”
The post generated the kind of response that only genuinely beloved celebrity children receive, with fans gushing over his style and appearance. Some comments, however, also reflected the scrutiny that comes with raising a child so visibly in the public eye.
Keyshia has never shied away from defending her parenting choices. When critics have weighed in on Ice’s clothing, jewelry, or appearance, she has consistently responded with confidence and without apology.
A Little Brother Turned Big Brother
On February 8, 2023, Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’oir welcomed their second child together, a daughter named Iceland Ka’oir Davis, weighing 7 lbs. 2 oz.
Just like that, Ice Davis went from the centre of his parents’ universe to a big brother. And from everything the family has shared publicly, he has taken to the role with the same energy his parents have always projected: full commitment and a whole lot of love.
Gucci has spoken about his daughter with the same visible emotion that marked Ice’s arrival. The family of four has become one of the most consistently adored units in celebrity culture, not just for the wealth or the fashion, but for the warmth that comes through every post and every stage appearance.
Gucci has even brought Ice on stage during performances, calling him his “superstar son” and celebrating the fact that his wife and child were there with him during milestone moments.
That is the real story of Ice Davis. Not the watch. Not the album cover. But the way a child born on December 23, 2020, reminded one of hip-hop’s most guarded figures that the most powerful thing a person can do is simply show up and love somebody completely.
