The star had shared an image with his 107 million Instagram followers of an ultrasound as well as pictures of his partner Hailey Baldwin undergoing a medical exam.
After coming clean and confirming it was a hoax, he was criticised by social media users who claimed the prank was insensitive to women who struggle to conceive.
He issued an apology on his Instagram page saying: “There’s always gonna be people offended, there’s also people who don’t take jokes very well, I am a prankster and it was APRIL FOOLS.
“I didn’t at all mean to be insensitive to people who can’t have children. A lot of people I know, their first go to prank on April fools is telling their parents they are pregnant to get a big reaction.
