Published on October 17, 2019, a local producer, Jibril Blessing, has been at the center of another paternity scandal after singer Laika revealed that he is the father of her child.
Laika, who was in a relationship with J Blessing, claimed that he denied her pregnancy and stopped supporting her after the birth of their child. In an interview with Milele FM, Laika stated, 'HE DENIED THE PREGNANCY, I DO NOT LIKE TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HE HELPED FOR A WHILE AFTER THE DELIVERY BUT FOR NOW HE DOES NOT DO ANYTHING.'
Laika further revealed that she struggled with depression after giving birth and felt immense pressure, stating, 'I GOT DEPRESSED AFTER GIVING BIRTH AND I FELT LIKE I WAS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE. I MOST DEFINITELY NEEDED A BREAK.'
Responding to the allegations, J Blessing has been sharing cryptic posts on social media, which seem to be directed at his baby mama and trolls. In one of the posts, he wrote, 'The real kindness is giving what you NEED and not What you DON’T need. Do not give what you Don’t need or show off when you give because,that’s called waste.'
Another post read, 'Your gift is not made for you but for others.'
