LiAngelo Ball has once again pushed back against accusations that he’s not a good father.
The “Tweaker” artist appeared on The Baller Alert Show, where he was asked about the “craziest” rumor he’s heard about himself.
"Shit I don't like is when n***as try to say that I'm like a deadbeat pops or something," he said. "‘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."
“I don’t get too worked up, for real, I don’t be mad over the internet," he said. "I just … put my phone down, and hang out with the gang.”
At the beginning of this month, Gelo’s ex, Nikki Mudarris, accused him of cheating on her and abandoning their two kids. She also claimed that he impregnated his new girlfriend, Rashida Nicole.
“I am just as surprised as you are. We spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids and tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new life with her,” Mudarris wrote on Instagram. “I have to be strong for my kids, but I have absolutely no words. Karma is real and God don't like ugly. I hope it was worth losing his family."
Mudarris and Ball share 2-year-old LaVelo Anthony Ball and a 2-month-old LaNiyah Nicole Ball.
LiAngelo later responded to her in the comments section of a Hollywood Unlocked Instagram post.
“I’ll never leave or ‘abandon’ any of my kids, so we can dead that right now," he wrote earlier this month. "I love all my babies."
Ball is going through a lot of changes right now. The baller-turned-rapper recently signed a deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group, rumored to be worth $13 million, not to mention sharing the “Tweaker” remix featuring Lil Wayne.
In January, the 26-year-old spoke with Speedy Morman about his contract.
“I own all my music and we did do it like that though," he said. "You know how music stuff could get, bro, so I really locked in. We're not letting it go down that route and my team helped me put the best thing together. They said that's the best music contract. Don't hate me, bro. We just out here getting it.”
In the same conversation, Ball told Speedy that he raps “colder” than Cam’ron.
