He said that the song was dedicated to men with baby mommas and that she kept him away from the daughter they have together. However, she publicly said that it was a lie and that even though they live 30 minutes away from each other, he did not come to see his daughter in 2 years, claiming she didn’t forbid the dad-daughter relationship from forming.
