Jesse Clegg celebrated the birth of his daughter with a beautiful post on Instagram. The singer also paid tribute to his late father, Johnny Clegg. 

"It brings @danibcoops and me profound joy to announce that the Clegg Family has gotten a little bigger. Our girl was born on March 2nd and her name is Mylah Thandolwethu Clegg. Please help us welcome her into this cruel, crazy, beautiful world," Jesse wrote. 

"Cruel, crazy, beautiful world" is an ode to his father's single of the same name. 

Johnny wrote the song for Jesse in 1990. "One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye / Goodbye, it's your world so live in it,"  he sings. 

Johnny died in 2019 after a long battle with cancer.  The music icon, who was also known as 'the White Zulu', was 66. 

Jesse's partner, Dani Cooperman, also announced Mylah's birth on Instagram with several adorable pictures.

"I am so excited to finally be able to introduce you all to Mylah Thandolwethu Clegg. Her middle name is Zulu and it means “our love”. Our baby girl was born on March 2nd and we are in love. One picture is from the night before she was born," she wrote.
