“Those of you guys who don’t know, I was not supposed to be born, essentially," Ninja said in a June 5 video, which was posted by pro-life activist Jason Jones.
Jones said he found out about the video after his son told him about it.
"A lot of the doctors told my mom that I had spina bifida or Down syndrome or a number of diseases and that I should be aborted," he said.

Ninja, who is married to his manager, Jessica Goch, was surprised by his mom during a "Sports Center" special on Mother's Day, after he wrote a letter and was recording a video message for her.
"You always taught me that God has a plan, and for that I thank you so much and I love you so much for that," he shared. Then his mom surprised him and the two hugged and cried together. "Mom, all I want to do is keep being the man you raised me to be and bring as much joy into other people's lives as you do into others every day."
