Leave it to Bobby Brown to try to steal some of Whitney Houston's thunder.

While the comeback-minded diva finally announced a release date for her first new album in seven years, Mr. "Humpin' Around" has taken to a Vegas stage to announce a delivery of his own.

"I just had a baby," the singer told the crowd at the Rok nightclub at the New York New York Hotel and Casino last night, per TMZ. "Four days ago—my son Cassius!"

This is the first new addition for Brown and his manager-girlfriend, Alicia Etheridge.

The former New Jack Swinger, now 40, has a 16-year-old daughter, Bobbi Christina, from his marriage to Houston. He also has three other spawn from previous relationships: 22-year-old Landon (an aspiring performer who appeared on MTV's Rock the Cradle) with Melika Williams, and 19-year-old LaPrincia and 17-year-old Bobby Brown Jr. with Kim Ward.

A rep for Brown wasn't immediately available for comment.
