LiAngelo Ball appears to have thrown shade at his ex on his new album, League of My Own.

Released on Friday (July 18), Gelo's new album features a song called "Wine N Dine," on which he appears to respond to claims from Nikki Mudarris that he’s a "deadbeat daddy," though he didn’t mention her by name.

"They kick me when I'm down, so can you pick me up? / Say I'm a deadbeat daddy who don't give no fucks / Say I'm an ugly soul who just up and run / Talk to me dumb like I don't amount to nothin'," Gelo raps on the track.

Mudarris and Ball share two children, one of whom was only a month old when they broke up earlier this year. Since then, Mudarris has maintained that LiAngelo hasn’t been present in his kids’ lives, accusations he addressed in February.

"Shit I don't like is when n***as try to say that I'm like a deadbeat pops or something," he said on The Baller Alert Show. "'Cause I be with my young n***as every day, for real. I raised 'em up. I feel like a lot of shit be misleading sometimes."

Mudarris has repeatedly slammed her ex, suggesting in March that he hasn't seen his kids in weeks. More recently, Mudarris claimed that Gelo broke up with her and told her he got another woman pregnant via text.

After Gelo and Mudarris parted ways, he married Rashida Nicole, the pregnant woman in question. He filed for divorce just days after Nicole announced she was pregnant.
