A rapper has become an overnight internet sensation, after posting a photo of himself rinsing his wife’s breast pump on Facebook.

Pro breastfeeding sites such as The Leaky Boob hailed Michigan Christian rapper George Moss for supporting his wife Michelle and helping to normalise breastfeeding, after he uploaded this image:

If you ever wonder what #rappers do when they get off stage, they clean breast pumps for their wives so their baby can eat. #thuglife

The rapping dad was more than a little surprised when the photo received more than 40,000 likes and almost 8,000 shares. Setting the record straight, he said:

“Although I appreciate the love, likes, and kind words (and even the few party poopers that the internet undoubtably produces), its absolutely CRAZY that this all happened because I washed a couple bottles. If anyone should get the credit it should be people like my wife!

“This woman AMAZES me! Through all the pain & soreness, frustrations, stress, etc. of trying to breast feed and pump, she gets up in the middle of the night to nurse a hungry baby… and in the middle of me writing this post, she finished nursing him and then made me a late night snack too!”

Adding a picture of his wife feeding baby Judah, Moss concluded: “I’ve learned today how “little things” mean the world to your lady and millions of others too. Keep up the good work. NormalizeBreastfeeding.org.”
