Anthony Edwards just won a key legal battle against ex Ayesha Howard, securing a ruling that California won’t determine child support for their 4-month-old daughter, Aubri Summers Howard. Ayesha, 37, claimed she moved to California before giving birth, but Edwards argued she only filed there to get higher child support. Despite presenting a California driver’s license and birth certificate, she lost the motion.

The judge ruled that California lacks jurisdiction, meaning the financial dispute will now play out in Georgia, where Edwards filed his own paternity case. Edwards, 23, has made it clear he wants no custody or visitation, stating, “The only issues to be resolved are financial in nature.” Court records also show he allegedly told Ayesha to “get da abortion lol” and later blocked her. With the financial decision heading to Georgia, the fight between the two is far from over.

You’d think that Howard would be salty with the Timberwolves star over the ruling, but she’s not. A mother recently went viral after stopping her son from buying Anthony Edwards’ sneakers, calling out the NBA star for not taking care of his kids. As the boy reached for the shoes, she quickly shut him down.

“Put them back, ’cause he don’t take care of his kids. Makes sense, right!?” she told him. She then guided him toward other players’ shoes, adding, “Get someone else, like Ja Morant—he takes care of his daughter. Or Kobe Bryant, he’s a great dad, even in the afterlife.”

Ayesha Howard, Edwards‘ ex, has now spoken up, questioning whether it was right to mix personal life with basketball as reported by theshaderoom. “I don’t even know if this child knows about Anthony’s personal issues,” she said. “If he doesn’t, why take away something he admires? Anthony’s a great player, but the mother has a right to support who she wants.”

Not long after standing up for Anthony Edwards when a mother refused to buy his shoes, Ayesha Howard has taken a different tone, sharing a series of cryptic Instagram posts.

The ex-partner of the Timberwolves star, who has been in a legal battle with him over their daughter, Aubri Summers Howard, appeared to send Edwards a message through her social media.

The 2x All-Star has made it clear he’s willing to pay child support but has no interest in custody. Since the situation became public, Howard has leaked alleged texts between them. Now, she shared lyrics from Jay-Z’s Dig A Hole on Instagram:

“I keep my enemies close, I give ‘em enough rope, they put themselves in the air, I just kick away the chair.”

She followed that with a Bible verse: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Below it, she doubled down: “Like I said before, he will have to answer to a higher power.”

For those keeping track, this isn’t the first time she’s used that phrase—she allegedly told Edwards the same thing in a leaked text.

Finally, she made her stance clear: “And I don’t want him period! I only deal with real ones. I’m just not bitter about it.”

Her latest posts have only added more fuel to an already messy situation. Fans are now questioning where she really stands when it comes to Edwards. First, she defended him, saying his personal life shouldn’t impact his career. Now, she’s seemingly calling him out. Whether this is a personal jab or just venting frustration, one thing is clear—this situation is far from over. With legal battles ongoing and emotions running high, there’s no telling what comes next.
