Omoye Assata Lynn: A Glimpse into the Life of Common's Gifted Daughter

Omoye Assata Lynn gained fame as the daughter of the renowned American rapper and actor Lonnie Lynn, better known as Common. Common has produced chart-topping hits such as "Love of My Life," "One Day It'll All Make Sense," and "Can I Borrow a Dollar." 

In addition to his musical success, Common has earned prestigious accolades, including two Grammy Awards and a Golden Globe Award.

Omoye Assata Lynn's Early Life  

Omoye Assata Lynn was born on August 13, 1997, in Chicago, Illinois, USA, making her 26 years old in 2024. Lynn has a mixed background, with African-American roots, and she is an American. 

Now, about her name - it's pretty special. Omoye, according to her dad, means "blessed baby" in Nigerian. He saw her as a blessing in his life. Also, "Assata" is a tribute to Assata Shakur because he believed his daughter was meant to be a fighter, maybe even a revolutionary.

Omoye Assata Lynn Education

At 26 years old, Omoye Assata Lynn achieved a significant milestone by graduating from law school at Howard University in 2022. Her proud father, Common, took to Instagram to express his joy, saying,  

"There are no words to describe how proud I am! Finishing Law School at Howard University in 3 years is pretty AMAZING! Congrats to my daughter and all the graduates of 2022. Now go out in the world and be great!"  

This wasn't the first time Common celebrated his daughter's academic success. In 2019, he congratulated Omoye when she graduated from Howard University, sharing a heartfelt message:  

"Congratulations to my phenomenal and dynamic daughter. Seeing you graduating from the great Howard U. Continue to achieve lit my heart and spirit. Continue to soar. Continue to have fun. I Love You. Blessings to the class of 2019!"  

Is Omoye Assata Lynn in a Relationship?  

Currently, there is no information about Omoye Assata Lynn being romantically involved with anyone. It's possible that the star kid was focused on her studies to complete her graduation.  

However, in 2015, Lynn shared a picture on her Instagram alongside her family. She was dressed in a white gown and white gloves, holding a bouquet of red roses.

Although Omoye appeared to be in a bridal set, it's important to note that she was only 18 years old in 2015. So she might have been attending some functions at that time. 

Who is Omoye Assata Lynn's Mother? 

While we're familiar with Omoye Assata Lynn's father, information about her mom is not as widely known. Omoye Lynn's mother is named Kim Jones.  

Common and Kim were once in a relationship and shared several years. Despite their connection, they didn't proceed to marriage. The former couple enjoyed a few years together and welcomed a lovely daughter during their time of love and happiness.  

Unfortunately, their relationship didn't work out, and Jones decided to end things with her then-boyfriend, leaving behind their one-year-old child. 

Omoye Assata Lynn's Father's Relationship Status  

Following Omoye Assata Lynn's parents' separation, the law school graduate was solely raised by her father as a single parent. Since parting ways with his then-girlfriend, Kim Jones, her dad has not remarried, whether due to not feeling the need or not finding the right partner for his child.  

Contrastingly, the "Love of My Life" singer has been in several romantic relationships. Rumors circulated about his involvement with Angela Rye in 2017, which concluded in 2018. Before that, Common had love affairs with singer Erykah Badu, actress Taraji P. Henson, and tennis player Serena Williams.  

In 2020, Common was romantically linked with Tiffany Haddish, attracting attention from various media outlets. However, their relationship ended in 2021 after about a year together. 

Despite this, Common posted a birthday message on his Instagram referring to her as "Love," sparking curiosity about a potential reconciliation. Yet, the status of their relationship remains uncertain. 

Omoye Assata Lynn's Father Created a Song Especially For Her

When Omoye Assata Lynn was born in 1997, her father was working on his second rap album, "Retrospect For Life." In a heartfelt gesture, he dedicated one of the tracks, "One Day It'll Make Sense," to his daughter.  

While it might not be considered one of his top hits, this song holds immense significance for him. The theme of the track revolves around the tough choices related to abortion and birth for a woman impregnated by Common. 

It reflects the challenges the artist faced during his daughter's arrival, making it a deeply personal and cherished piece in his collection. 

Common's Daughter Omoye Assata Lynn Has Different Musical Tastes  

Although Omoye Assata Lynn shares her father's love for music, her preferences differ from his. She is not a big fan of her dad's music and leans towards enjoying themes from artists like Chance and Beyonce. 

In an interview on LIVEKellyandRyan, Common revealed that his daughter doesn't particularly admire his songs. He shared an incident where she attended a Beyonce concert in an outfit he wasn't too fond of. 

The artist acknowledged the challenges of being a father to a teenage girl, expressing his desire to be a good dad while giving her the freedom to make her own choices. Even when she did things he didn't approve of, Common chose to let go, understanding that restricting her might not be the best approach.
