LiAngelo Ball Responds to Child Abandonment Allegations with Strong Denial

Recently, Nikki Mudarris, whose real name is Nikki, shared heartwarming photos of their infant daughter, LaNiyah, who was welcomed into the world in December 2024. Following the reposting of these tender moments by Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram, LiAngelo felt compelled to step in and address the serious accusations surrounding his parenting.

?I?ll never leave or ?abandon? any of my kids so we can dead that sht rn?I love all my babies n that?s mando [black heart emoticon] yaw don?t know nothing fr,? Ball asserted.

As previously reported, MissNikkiiBaby publicly criticized Gelo and Rashida just a week ago. Taking to her Instagram account, the reality star claimed that her partner had blindsided her with the separation. She further alleged that he informed her via text about Rashida’s pregnancy and their plans to start a new family together. ?We spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids and I?,? she stated in her public remarks.

In a follow-up statement to The Shade Room, MissNikkiiBaby revealed that LiAngelo had vacated their home a week prior to her public accusations and had not made any attempts to contact her or their two children, LaVelo and LaNiyah.

?We will coparent as peacefully as possible. And I told him if he was unhappy I wish he told me but who just walks out on their kids like we don?t exist, it?s just so sad and hurtful?? Nikki Mudarris commented to TSR on Feb. 8. She added, ?And to throw it in my face with this new girl is actually so sick. I?m going through postpartum it?s beyond hurtful.?

Nikki Mudarris Responds with Strong Words After LiAngelo?s Statement

As expected, Nikki did not let LiAngelo?s defense go unchallenged. Within just 15 minutes of his post being published, she jumped into TSR?s comment section to provide her perspective! She articulated why she chose the term ?abandonment? in reference to her situation with Ball, emphasizing her discomfort with Rashida Nicole being around their two children who are under the age of two.

?To clarify- we DO NOT care you left me, it?s the way you DID it, blatantly disrespecting the mother of your 2 kids, not caring about my mental health while I?m caring for OUR KIDS- or my postpartum,? Nikki explained. ?In the last 3 weeks since we separated you have tried to see them twice, why would I let you take our kids while you have a woman living with you who not only disrespected me, but whom you hardly know & is a complete stranger to me. My kids are 1 years old & 2 months, they cannot talk yet and inform me of what is going on, I am not comfortable with them being around someone I don?t even know. Mind you since you left, I?m the one who reached out to YOU to FaceTime them, you haven?t text or called one time asking how they are in 3 weeks. Make it make sense! Also, I?ve offered for you to come here and I would leave you chose not to. To me that is some sort of abandonment so take it how you want. Especially since you?ve been in these kids life since the day they were born.?

Rashida Nicole Stands Up for LiAngelo Against MissNikkiiBaby?s Allegations

LiAngelo Ball?s recent comments mirror what his new girlfriend has previously asserted in response to Nikki?s allegations. In a series of videos, Rashida Nicole accused Nikki of ?playing victim? on social media, suggesting that she was upset about Ball moving on. Rashida also claimed that Nikki doesn?t have her children ?half the time,? a statement that was denied by the mother, who countered that Gelo has also neglected his parental responsibilities.

?You don?t know what?s going on?Let?s be clear: there is no abandonment over here. Number two, the lady and her family are racist,? Rashida Nicole stated in her defense.
