Roddy Ricch’s Easter post didn’t go unnoticed, but it was the absence of one of his children that stirred up controversy. The rapper shared photos of himself spending the holiday with his daughter, reportedly named Navy. This marked the first time fans had ever seen her, and many were caught off guard. The identity of Navy’s mother has not been confirmed, and some fans believe Roddy may address it in his upcoming release, The Navy Album.
While some were reacting to the new addition, others questioned why his son Kadence, who he shares with ex Alexandra Kiser, was not in the pictures. Alexandra was quick to call Roddy out on social media, accusing him of leaving Kadence out of the holiday celebration and not doing enough for his birthday.
Roddy had already responded to the criticism on his own Instagram Story. When fans asked why his son was missing, he explained that Kadence has autism and that the bright lights and attention of social media can be overwhelming for him. He wrote, “YES, I THREW MY SON A BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY PRESENT. NO, I DID NOT SHARE THE MOMENT ONLINE BECAUSE IT WAS ALSO THE SECOND TIME MY KIDS WERE IN THE SAME SETTING.”
He continued, “YES, I PROVIDE FOR BOTH OF MY KIDS. NO, I DO NOT GIVE A F*CK IF YOU BELIEVE IT. NO, I DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT MY RESPONSIBILITIES. YES, I AM TIRED OF THIS SITUATION. HAPPY EASTER!”
Alexandra dismissed his explanation. She claimed he barely celebrated their son’s birthday and only skipped posting because Kadence didn’t pose the way he wanted. Their strained co-parenting relationship may surface again when Roddy’s next album drops, possibly on July 18th.
