RAPPER Fabolous is in the spotlight once again after his step-daughter accused him of being a deadbeat dad - but why?
On an Instagram post dedicated to her half-sister, Taina Williams sparked rumors of co-parenting drama between Fabolous and her mother.
Who is Fabolous' stepdaughter Taina Williams?
Taina Williams, born on April 1, 1998, is the daughter of celebrity shoe designer and former Love & Hip Hop cast member, Emily Bustamante.
The 24-year-old is New York rapper, Fabolous' step daughter.
He has been in her life since she was around three-years-old when he began dating her mother in 2001.
She has two half-brothers, Johan, born February 16, 2008, and Jonas, born in 2015, and a half-sister Journey Isabella, born October 10, 2020, as a result of her mother's relationship with Fabolous.
The influencer is also known for her engagement to G Herbo, who she lives with in Bel Air, Beverly Hills, California.
In May 2021 they welcomed their first child together, a son who they named Essex.
A year later, their daughter Emmy Love Wright was born.
Rumors of her mother's break up from Fabolous circulated in February 2022 when they unfollowed each other on social media.
Fans also spotted the shoe designer celebrating her birthday without the rapper and she posted pictures with Taina instead.
At the same time, Fabolous was posting birthday messages to Megan Thee Stallion and friends, but not Emily B.
The last time he featured on his now ex-partner's Instagram page was October 2021.

Taina slammed her step-father in an Instagram post shared on October 10, 2022.
The rapper posted a photograph of himself holding his two-year-old daughter Journey Isabella to celebrate her birthday.
He wrote: "I named you Journey because that’s really what it’s been..

In reponse, Taina commented: "This post is hilarious....

"Stop playing the internet."
The comment has since been removed from the platform.
The rapper has found himself in trouble before.
In 2018 he was accused of knocking Emily B's two front teeth out, after he discovered she was in Los Angeles without his knowledge.
Police reports stated he sent abusive text messages to his then girlfriend, and threatened to kill her with a baseball bat.
A video was released by TMZ that revealed Fabolous threatening his girlfriend and her father with what appeared to be a gun.
The rapper later went to the cops himself and was charged with aggravated assault and terroristic threats.
