Diamond Brown, the ex-girlfriend of R&B singer Chris Brown, has filed a paternity suit against the singer over her 4-year-old daughter, Lovely.
As detailed in documents reviewed by Complex, Diamond Brown filed suit against the two-time Grammy winner just days before his current partner, Jada Wallace, gave birth to his fourth child.
Diamond filed suit on April 3 over Lovely, attaching what she said was a voluntary declaration from 2022 in which the singer acknowledged paternity. Diamond asked the court for legal and physical custody, though she requested that the “Fallin’” singer have visitation.
Brown has acknowledged Lovely multiple times since her birth in 2022, including in a social media post just a few months after she was born. That post was widely considered at the time to be an acknowledgement that he was Lovely’s father. He was also photographed at the child’s first birthday party.
Weeks before Brown and Wallace welcomed their first child together, Diamond claimed in an Instagram Story that the singer threatened her new partner. Jada fired back, saying that Diamond was “Tryna air business out like you not the one that's stopping him from seeing his daughter.”
“Get off social media bitch,” Diamond wrote. “Wait till that baby come out. I’ll whoop your ass fr.”
Although denying that she prevented Brown from visiting Lovely, Diamond did admit to briefly halting visitation after the singer allegedly confronted the parents of his daughter’s friend.
Brown welcomed his fourth child in April after dating Wallace since December 2024. The vocalist, who will embark on a joint tour with Usher beginning in June, has two older children in addition to his new child and Lovely: daughter Royalty, 11, with Nia Guzman; and son Aeko, 6, with Ammika Harris.
Since welcoming his fourth child last week, a shooting occurred outside Brown’s home, although Brown was not involved.
