LiAngelo Ball has made it Instagram official with his new girlfriend, Rashida Nicole, just hours after Nikki Mudarris accused him of cheating and walking out on their family. The basketball player and rapper, known as “Tweaker,” posted a picture with Rashida, seemingly confirming their relationship amid the swirling controversy.
The news comes after Nikki publicly addressed their breakup, revealing that Ball left her and their two children for another woman—who, according to her, is allegedly pregnant with his child.
“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 tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new life with her,” Nikki wrote in an emotional post.
The former Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star, who gave birth to their son, LaVelo Anthony Ball, on July 19, 2023, and their daughter, LaNiyah Nicole Ball, on December 3, 2024, expressed how difficult it has been to process everything while also recovering from childbirth.
“The ultimate betrayal is not even the word. My daughter is not even 2 months old, and dealing with this and postpartum is very hard. Please pray for me and my healing because I will get through this. I have to be strong for my kids, but I have absolutely no words.”
She also didn’t hold back when addressing LiAngelo’s actions, adding: “Karma is real and God don’t like ugly. I hope it was worth losing his family.”
