October 18, 2019, marked a tumultuous day for veteran producer J Blessing, as his baby mama, Laika, publicly branded him a deadbeat dad.

Laika, a former singer, claimed that she had a relationship with J Blessing, but he ended things after she became pregnant, leaving her heartbroken and forcing her to put her music career on hold.

During a recent interview, Laika revealed that J Blessing has not provided for their daughter, stating, '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 opened up about her struggles, saying, 'I got depressed after giving birth and I felt like I was under a lot of pressure. I most definitely needed a break.'

Despite the allegations, J Blessing has remained unbothered, with his social media posts suggesting a subtle attempt to discredit his critics.

However, his cryptic message, '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,' has sparked further debate.
