Is baller-turned-rapper LiAngelo Ball a “deadbeat daddy?” That’s what his ex, Nikki Mudarris, has claimed.

In an Instagram story back in March, Mudarris accused Gelo of being an absent father.

“We pushing 6 weeks, your kids ain’t hear from you yet!” she wrote. “Diabolical! Exit the chat.”

Ball and Mudarris have two children together — a son, Lavelo, and a daughter, LaNiyah. He was accused of walking out on the pair and Mudarris, whom he had been with for three and a half years, to start a life with Rashida Nicole, his now-ex-wife.

Ball filed for divorce from Nicole in early July, just days after she revealed on Instagram she was pregnant.

Facing a wave of criticism, Gelo has decided to fire back.

Gelo’s full-length LP, “League of My Own,” was recently released and includes 13 songs, including his breakout hit, “Tweaker.” In one of the songs, he seemingly addressed the accusations levied by Mudarris.

“They kick me when I’m down, so can you pick me up? Say I’m a deadbeat daddy who don’t give no f—s. Say I’m an ugly soul who just up and run,” he raps, via TMZ.

“Talk to me dumb like I don’t amount to nothin’, I never really been the type of n—- to reject s–t. But I’m on my way, kicked out like two texts, b—h, I can pull a dream bitch by yappin’ in a Tech ‘fit (Tech ‘fit, Tech ‘fit). But every single day, you find a way to disrespect me.”

Although Gelo didn’t mention either of his exes by name, it’s evident that Mudarris, a reality TV star and entrepreneur, is the target of his frustration.

Mudarris has not yet responded to Gelo’s lyrics.
