LiAngelo Ball, who also goes by the stage name Gelo, was again under fire for similar allegations that his ex-girlfriend, Nikki Mudarris, had hurled against him. Rashida Nicole, the estranged wife of the basketball player turned rapper, has recently alleged that Ball had neglected their newborn baby.

Nicole had welcomed her daughter, Lilo Legacy Ball, last week, in the absence of Ball. Six days later, she said in her social media post that Gelo had not yet shown up for his newborn daughter.

On Monday, on her Instagram Story, she posted a picture of their baby daughter drinking milk and made a big claim about the rapper and the former G-League player.

"Poor baby been on this earth for 6 days still ain't seen or heard from her dad," she wrote in the caption. "Wow!"

This is not the first time that LiAngelo Ball has been blamed for ghosting his kids. Earlier, in March, his former girlfriend, Nikki Mudarris, alleged that Ball hadn't talked to his kids in six weeks. Gelo and Mudarris have been together for over three years and have two kids together.

In February, Mudarris said on her social media that the "Tweaker" singer had left her for another woman he had impregnated. Four weeks before Ball told her about the pregnancy news, they had their second child.

Rashida Nicole reveals the real reasons she didn't want LiAngelo Ball at her delivery

Last week, when Rashida Nicole gave birth to her second child, LiAngelo Ball wasn't with her. Shortly after, the social media influencer revealed that she decided to deliver her baby in the absence of her estranged husband.

In her "transparency post" on Instagram, Nicole revealed the reason for her decision.

"I chose for my child's father not to be at my delivery," she wrote. "That decision came after months of emotional pain, hurtful words, and complete absence during the most vulnerable season of my life."
"For the last five months, I've done everything alone -- every appointment, every milestone, every challenge."

She added in the later part of the post that Ball had never protected her throughout their relationship and had lied to her the entire time. She said that she had been all alone during the pregnancy without any support from LiAngelo Ball.

"So no, I wasn't going to allow a 5-minute delivery room photo-op for the internet," she added.

The couple filed for divorce in July, just six months after the wedding.
