Those who watch Keeping Up with The Kardashians know that little brother Rob Kardashian loves to joke around. This week he struck again through Twitter, tweeting about how he was excited to spend the Fourth of July with his “son.”

According to Us Weekly, Rob has since deleted the celebratory fatherhood tweet, but not before hundreds of fans and celebrity news outlets caught it and began asking questions. "Happy I got my son with me for the 4th tomorrow!!" the reality television star tweeted. "Can't wait to watch fireworks with my little man! Hope everyone is safe!"

But while his sister Kim is currently loving motherhood, Rob is not quite ready to become a parent. In fact, the 27-year-old star backtracked and made it clear that he is not actually a dad!

Once fans began barraging Kardashian with confused tweets and messages, he eventually pulled the plug on the prank and publicly announced that he was making a joke.
