Former girlfriend Tia Kemp blasted rapper Rick Ross on Instagram Live, alleging he has undisclosed children and criticizing his parenting choices.
Kemp, who shares a son William Roberts III with Ross, claimed the platinum-selling artist has up to 10 children, including two allegedly born this year. Ross has not addressed these allegations.
The Miami native’s ex-partner suggested their son remains unaware of his potential siblings. “He’s not even seeing half of them,” Kemp said during her social media session.
She recommended Ross consider a vasectomy, particularly given that he continues having children while his existing offspring approach adulthood. Her criticism extended to his current relationship, predicting it would end before the holiday season due to financial obligations toward his children.
This latest social media outburst follows a pattern of public criticism from Kemp toward Ross. Earlier this year, she made similar claims about undisclosed children, generating widespread media attention.
The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between the former couple, who share teenage son William Roberts III. Ross, known for hits like “Hustlin” and “Push It,” typically maintains privacy regarding his personal life despite his public persona.
While Ross focuses on his music career and business ventures, including his Wingstop franchise ownership and recent real estate investments, these allegations add another layer of complexity to his public image.
The claims emerge as Ross continues to expand his entertainment empire, suggesting a contrast between his professional success and personal controversies. Despite the accusations, he maintains his position as one of hip-hop’s most influential figures.
Industry observers note this situation reflects broader discussions about accountability and transparency in the entertainment industry, particularly regarding family responsibilities and public figures’ private lives.
The controversy adds to ongoing discussions about parental responsibilities in the music industry, where personal relationships often intersect with public personas and business ventures.
As this story develops, questions remain about potential impacts on Ross’s brand partnerships and business ventures, which include his MMG record label and various entrepreneurial endeavors.
Neither Ross’s management team nor his legal representatives have issued formal responses to these allegations, leaving fans and industry watchers speculating about potential developments in this family matter.
