"YOU MAKE ME RICH IN WAYS I COULD NEVER IMAGINE ❤️💰," Cain reiterated in the caption. "We love you baby… LETS GO CHAMP! ✊🏾❤️🏆"

The new dad also included the hashtags, "leukemia warrior," "leukemia awareness" and "lets gocha," in his post.

Cain included an additional update on his Instagram Stories alongside another video of Azaylia smiling up at her father. "Some good news today, keeping in them bowels, don't you baby…Let's go champ," Cain said in the clip.
