He may only be 8 weeks old, but the baby formerly known as Wolf Webster has already caused some drama.

Last month, Kylie Jenner announced that she and boyfriend Travis Scott were having a baby boy and they named him Wolf.

The two stars are already mom and dad to 4-year-old daughter Stormi.
The new parents have kept a relatively low profile on social media over the past few months, but Kylie delighted her followers when she shared a YouTube video dedicated to her son on Monday.
The 10-minute mini-documentary followed Kylie throughout her pregnancy and birth of her son with her famous sisters and mother Kris Jenner, filming heartfelt messages for the newborn.
However, shortly after the video was shared, Kylie took to her Instagram story to clarify that her son’s name was no longer Wolf.
“FYI, our son’s name is no longer Wolf,” she wrote. “We just didn’t feel like it was him. Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere.”
She and Travis are yet to reveal what they changed the baby’s name to.
Needless to say, people were confused by her sudden change of heart and were quick to speculate as to why Kylie would make a U-turn after revealing her son’s name to the world.

While some wondered if she changed it because Wolf didn’t get the positive online reaction she was hoping for, others were quick to point out that she hadn’t changed her mind after Stormi’s name received mixed reviews when he was released in 2018 was announced.
Attention then turned to one of Kylie’s former best friends, Tammy Hembrow, who had made a number of shady comments about the name Wolf since Kylie unveiled it.

But first a bit of background. Kylie and Australian influencer Tammy were good friends until 2019, with Tammy being an established member of the Kardashian/Jenner family’s inner circle.
She even modeled for Khloé Kardashian’s Good American brand and promoted the sisters’ other various products on her social media page.
The first time Tammy made headlines when it came to Kylie was in 2018 when she was carried on a stretcher from the star’s 21st birthday party and people were quick to speculate as to why she had collapsed.

Days later, Tammy lashed out at cruel trolls for “making things up” and revealed she “broke down” from jet lag and exhaustion when she admitted she shouldn’t have been drinking at the party.
The following year, Kylie unfollowed Tammy on social media after being linked to her ex, Tyga. Tammy has always insisted that she and Tyga are “just friends,” but also confirmed that his sexually explicit song “Uno” was about her.

In the song, Tyga raps, “Shake that ass, you a bop, make it go, don’t stop / Slurp me up outside of In-N-Out parkin’ lot.”

He then specifically checks on Tammy as the song continues: “Go Tammy, keep dancing / You nasty, no panties / Get a wet wipe, that’ll come in handy / And hit that pussy, bitch, you deserve a Grammy.”

On her podcast “Hanging Out With the Hembrows” shortly after the release of “Uno,” Tammy admitted the song was about her, but insisted the lyrics were “taken so disproportionately” as she claimed that she and Tyga are nothing more than friends.

After revealing that she gave Tyga permission to use her name in the song, Tammy added, “‘It doesn’t diss me at all, but it’s just a song. People are so crazy! Do you take rap songs so literally?”
“He’s just a friend of mine and I think that’s just so disproportionate and crazy. People are just ridiculous,” she continued. “I heard it before it came out [and] I’m literally just friends with him. I’ve been to some of his shows and I’m friends with people he’s friends with.”
Kylie hasn’t publicly addressed her and Tammy’s fallout, but it seems to have had a long-lasting impact after it was suggested she copied Tammy when she named her son.
You see, Tammy already has a 6-year-old son named Wolf, as well as a daughter named Saskia, and she apparently didn’t want Kylie to forget that when she announced the arrival of her own wolf last month.
Just hours after Kylie’s Instagram announcement on Feb. 11, Tammy uploaded a photo of herself with her son and added the caption, “My wolf 🤎”
She went on to write “Wolfie’s mom” when she shared another post, and if there was any doubt about how she felt about Kylie’s baby name, the pregnant influencer made it even clearer when she responded to a comment from a fan.
The follower had written on her TikTok post, “ALL I KNOW THEY NAME HER BABY BENTLEY,” to which Tammy replied, “I actually like the name Stormi atm.”
It wasn’t long before Tammy was called out for the shadowy digs at Kylie’s, and one tweet read at the time, “I’ve always liked Tammy Hembrow, but her need to continue shadowing Kylie is pathetic. You don’t own the name wolf? Want to shadow anyone who names their kid wolf? Focus your energy on other things, especially during pregnancy.”

Another wrote: “It’s not Tammy throwing shadows at Kylie for naming her baby wolf. Girl relax.”
And now people think Tammy’s constant taunts about naming her son Wolf first is why Kylie decided against naming her son the same.

“I can’t believe Kylie Jenner decided Wolf wasn’t her son’s name anymore, Tammy really won,” one fan tweeted. Another person wrote, “Tammy Hembrow bullied Kylie into changing her baby’s name.” , I cry.”

Another claimed: “Let’s be honest here. Kylie didn’t like that Tammy had the name Wolf before her.” Another said, “Kylie changed Wolf’s name why is that so funny to me do you think Tammy is laughing too?!?!”
Kylie hasn’t publicly responded to Tammy’s social media comments, and didn’t elaborate on why she and Travis changed the name, aside from the fact that they “didn’t feel like it was him.”

Whatever the reason for Kylie’s decision, one thing is for sure, we can’t wait to find out what she changed Wolf’s name to — and just hope it doesn’t spark more drama.
