Anthony Edwards may not be willing to be the “face of the league”, but he has no options to choose between controversies. Every NBA star has two lives to deal with. First, their lives on the basketball court, and second, their personal lives. More often, the second life is out before the public’s eyes. And, while things seem smooth and mellow for some hoopers, Anthony Edwards’s has always been on the rocky side. He may be lighting up the court for the Timberwolves, but off the hardwood, he’s caught in a storm of speculation thanks to a viral $1.08 million child support rumor involving his ex-girlfriend, Ayesha Howard. So, it is Fouls, penalties, ejections, and suspensions on the court. And off the same, baby mama drama.
So, the Minnesota Timberwolves superstar’s 18th tech foul was rescinded on Saturday, which means that he will be on the court against the Utah Jazz in the last game of the regular season. But at the same time, the voices of Memphis Grizzlies fans chanting “Child Support” surely haunt the 23-year-old point guard.
Speaking of child support, Edwards’s ex-girlfriend Ayesha Howard took to her IG Story to share a cryptic message. She wrote: “jealous of YOU? Honey, the only girl better then me will be my own daughter 💅🏾” Now, the question is who is the “you” in the story? Howard also shared snaps of her and Anthony Edwards’s 6-month-old daughter Aubri Summer in her previous stories.

Meanwhile, Howard has left the audience scratching their heads as they sit to decipher the codes in her message. It could be a direct jab at Ant-Man or his current partner, Jeanine Robel. But most importantly, Ayesha’s intriguing Instagram Story comes days after her honest confession about the whole $1.08 million child support drama that has taken over the NBA world in a storm.
