Roddy Ricch Speaks Out, "No, I Don't Love My Son Any Less" After Baby Mama's Public Call-Out

Roddy Ricch turned to Instagram to set the record straight and tell his truth following a cloud of social media shade from his son's mother, Alexandra Kiser. The West Coast rapper who scored hits like "The Box" became the subject of personal discussion this week after a family photo shoot on Easter devolved into online drama.

When Kiser posted a clip of Roddy and their son on set, their little boy, whom Roddy later realized is on the autism spectrum, appeared to be visibly overwhelmed. In her post, Kiser suggested Ricch had made the holiday about himself rather than their child, writing, "It's his Easter too… You must've forgotten he was there."

Ricch didn't appreciate that public call-out, though, and he fired back with a long, emotional Instagram Story. "And this will be my first, last, and only time discussing this matter," he wrote in the opening line, making it crystal clear, even as tempers were promoted, that he was being calculated with his words.

Roddy said the photo shoot was taken to celebrate his daughter's first Easter and visit to Los Angeles. He did say that his son was among those included, but the little guy had a hard time during the session from overstimulation, which is not unusual for kids with autism.

"No, my son did not want to take pictures because he was overstimulated," wrote Roddy. "Yes, my son is autistic. "No, it doesn't make me love my son any less."

In an age when celebrity fathers tend to be either idolized or condemned, Roddy's statement struck me as authentic, even raw. He didn't cloak it in PR-speak and didn't attack. He just told the truth as he knows it and made clear he is a present, loving father amid an ugly battle to be a good co-parent under the brutal scrutiny of public opinion.

He then continued by saying that he had recently hosted a birthday party for his son, attended by all his family members. It was also only the second time his two children had been physically in the same place, and at the same time, it was an intimate, significant moment that he opted not to share online.

"No, I don't give a f### whether you believe it," he added. "Yes, I'm fed up with this situation.

While listeners might expect Roddy Ricch to flex his lyrical skill on songs, this was a different kind of verse rooted not in bars but in real-life struggle, growth, and emotion.

At the end of his note, Ricch signed off with "Happy Easter," just a father doing his best, reminding us that the cameras aren't always rolling.
