LiAngelo Ball quickly responded to these accusations, defending himself in a series of posts that rejected Nikki’s claims. “Quit the soft sympathy s**t,” he stated, asserting that he has always been financially independent during their relationship. “Nobody was in my shoes, but everyone can paint their own picture of me lol. I paid for most s***t in my life when I was with her; I don’t know when y’all thought she was paid.” He further implied that he had significant responsibilities, suggesting that he was more present for their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren than Nikki had been.
