“At the end of that s—, I knew that s— was gonna be great.” LiAngelo Ball has been on Cloud Nine since the massive success of his new song ‘Tweaker’. Not only did the track leave the hoop community buzzing, it also landed him a $13 million deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group. But while Gelo is finally thriving professionally, his personal life just turned into a huge mess with his baby mama, Nikki Mudarris’ latest allegations.

In a shocking Instagram post, captioned “Time to speak my truth… praying for my healing” Nikki accused Gelo of infidelity and abandoning their kids, “I see everyone has been sending me @gelo cheating on me. I want to clear this up and speak my truth. I am just as surprised as you are. We spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids and me and tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new life with her. We were just happy and planning family photos—I am beyond blind-sighted by this whole thing. The ultimate betrayal is not even the word.”

Well, Nikki and Gelo have two kids together, with the younger one being born just two months ago in December. A baby girl named LaNiyah Nicole Ball. And if the accusations are true, Gelo’s actions are shocking, to say the least. As expected, the entire situation has taken a massive toll on Nikki, as she revealed, “My daughter is not even 2 months old, and dealing with this and postpartum is very hard. Please pray for me & my healing because I will get through this. I have to be strong for my kids, but I have absolutely no words.”

Sure enough, she also had a parting message for the Ball Brother, “Karma is real, and God don’t like ugly. I hope it was worth losing his family.” Well, the timing of this controversy could not have been worse for LiAngelo as it came right after it was announced that he would be performing live at the upcoming All-Star Weekend.

Following her viral post, Nikki also took to her IG story (which is now expired) to fire some shots at the woman Gelo allegedly got pregnant, “The same way you get them is how you lose them, thinking you winning by getting pregnant with a man who has a newborn is crazy work. Also, in terms of age, to clarify… The girl he left his family for is older than me.” Turns out, the woman in question is Rashida Nicole.

Even she responded to the accusations, sparking an online spat with Nikki. “Loud & Wrong! But I ain’t clearing nothing!” Nicole wrote. However, that didn’t stop angry fans from criticizing her on social media. Nicole attempted to salvage the situation with another statement, “I wasn’t even going to address this, but I’m tired of people playing victim on the internet. People move on, things change. It may not be addressed to the internet because [it’s] not for y’all.” Meanwhile, Gelo is yet to address the situation.

Well, the facts of the controversy remain unknown but one thing is certain: This is not a good look for LiAngelo Ball and it could hurt his career as an artist and potentially a future NBA player. What are your thoughts?
