Whew! MissNikkiiBaby didn’t hold back while blasting her children’s father, LiAngelo Ball, and clapping back at his alleged new girlfriend, Rashida Nicole. Yup, according to Nikki Mudarris, Gelo swerved that corner to another woman’s house, cheated, and abandoned her and their two kids, LaVelo Anthony and LaNiyah Nicole Ball.
For context, their youngest was born in December 2024–a fact that MissNikkiiBaby made sure to note in her heartbreaking social media statement. Keep reading for a breakdown of what’s happened so far, including MissNikkiiBaby’s exclusive statement to The Shade Room, Nicole showing off a special tattoo, and LiAngelo spicing the beef up!
Here’s What MissNikkiiBaby First Said About The LiAngelo Situation
In her Instagram post, the mother seemingly confirmed circulating rumors that Gelo was stepping out on their relationship. She acknowledged that she’s “just as surprised” as the internet. Additionally, MissNikkiiBaby said that after three-and-a-half years of dating, LiAngelo Ball “decided to walk out on his kids” and her. Gelo allegedly told her his new woman, presumably Rashida Nicole, is pregnant and that they’re starting a new life together.
“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. My daughter is not even two months old, and dealing with this and postpartum is very hard,” Nikki Mudarris wrote in her statement.
MissNikkiiBaby also requested prayers for her healing at this time. “I have to be strong for my kids, but I have absolutely no words. Karma is real and God don’t like ugly. I hope it was worth losing his family,” she added.
In an exclusive statement to TSR, MissNikkiiBaby revealed that LiAngelo Ball moved out of their shared home last week and hasn’t contacted their two kids since.
Nikkii Claps Back At LiAngelo’s Alleged New Bae
After MissNikkiiBaby’s initial statement, LiAngelo Ball’s alleged mistress weighed in. In one Instagram Stories post, Rashida Nicole wrote, “LOUD & WRONG.” Meanwhile, in a video post, she suggested the whole situation is just a case of a man choosing to move on!
“I’m tired of people playing victim on the internet. One, people move on, things change. Yes, it might not be updated or addressed to the internet because it’s not for y’all. People have private lives,” Nicole said.

Nicole also called out the trolls trying to “sl*t-shame” her, and again suggested, without naming her, that Nikkii was playing “victim on the internet.” She also dropped a bombshell accusation, saying, “Half the time, that lady don’t even got those kids. Let’s be clear there is no abandonment over here.” Continuing to call Nikkii “that lady,” Rashida Nicole accused her and her family of being “racist” and constantly using the “n-word.”
After TSR reposted Nicole’s video, Nikkii slid in the comment section with a lil’ clapback: “Karma is a b***h. Who thinks they winning doing this to someone who just has a baby not even 2 months old. I never addressed YOU. I addressed my baby father. PPD is real and I pray to heal from this. My kids and I deserve better ❤️ trying to assassinate my character when I’m the victim is absolutely insane.”

Rashida Nicole Shows Off Gelo-Inspired Tattoo
Meanwhile, Rashida Nicole isn’t letting up on the “my man, my man, my man” posts. On Saturday, she took to her Instagram Stories following the words exchanged with Nikkii. Nicole seemed to be teasing the distressing mother, writing, “Meanwhile… ‘wine & dine’ with three laughing emojis. The picture showed her wrist and hand next to LiAngelo’s, but he wasn’t the only tatted one! Nicole debuted a number three in black ink, surrounded by a black box outline with a shaded red. For context, the colors and number three have long been affiliated with the Ball brothers, including LaMelo and Lonzo.
In TSR’s comment section featuring the tattoo post, Nikki wrote: “This is not a flex. And the fact this man doesn’t protect the mother of his kids is nasty work. I do not know this man. This is truly distasteful.”

LiAngelo Seemingly Backs His New Boo
While LiAngelo has yet to address ANY of his estranged ex-girlfriend’s accusations, he seemed to cosign Rashida. Hours after things got tense between Nikki Mudarris and Nicole, Gelo posted a boo’ed up photo of him and his new lady to his IG Stories. He didn’t offer any explanations but opted for a black heart emoticon. The flick showed his hand wrapped around her waist as he stood behind her while she snapped a mirror selfie of them.
