LiAngelo Ball, infamously at the center of a relationship storm, breaks his silence.
Ball, known these days as Gelo, is pushing back against swirling accusations of him abandoning his children. This unexpected scenario unfolded rapidly after his ex, MissNikkiBaby, accused him publicly of not just leaving their kids but also fathering a child with someone new.
Nikki, taken aback by what she terms as “the ultimate betrayal”, let loose with an Instagram post that caught fire across the internet. Her claims sparked a vibrant deliberation among fans, eager to weigh in on what’s become a very public affair.
With Rashida Nicole reportedly taunting Nikki online, the saga isn’t lacking in drama. Fans and social media sleuths have been unrelenting, picking apart each detail.
But Gelo’s not backing down. In the comments of a post, he set the records straight by stating, “I’ll never leave or ‘abandon’ any of my kids, so we can dead that right now… I love all my children.” His relationship with Nikki might be history, but he insists his dedication to his children is unwavering.
As Gelo’s life takes these dramatic turns, one can’t overlook his achievements on the music front. Fresh from his debut single, “Tweakers”, and a deal with Def Jam Recordings, he performed live at the 2025 NBA All-Star game.
Nikki, or MissNikkiBaby as fans know her, met Ball during a hike in 2022, which soon blossomed into a relationship. Their family grew with their son LaVelo in 2023, followed by a daughter, LaNiyah, in 2024. Nikki, beyond her reality TV star image, is an entrepreneur, realtor, and lingerie-line owner.
Whether this turmoil will quiet down or heat up more remains to be seen. What’s clear is Gelo’s commitment to his fatherly duties.
