Bhad Bhabie came through with receipts after her biological father denied being an absent parent, calling the claims a “complete lie.”
In her new track “Honest,” the rapper—born Danielle Bregoli—calls out her father, Ira Peskowitz, labeling him a “deadbeat” and alleging that he wanted $20,000 instead of a real relationship with her.
Peskowitz, in a TMZ interview, pushed back, saying he once had a good relationship with his daughter and suggesting that her mother, Barbara Bregoli, had turned her against him.
After catching wind of his comments, Bhabie took to Instagram on Tuesday (October 21) to share—and later delete—an email that appeared to show a “client,” believed to be Peskowitz, agreeing to receive $25,000 for a “full and complete settlement” of unresolved matters.
“I paid 25k actually to terminate my FATHER parental rights years ago,” she wrote in the caption. “I tried to fix our relationship but it didn’t work. The only reason I gave him another chance was because LV suggested I have my father in my life.”
According to the post, the alleged agreement included terms that required Bhabie to legally change her name and for both her and her mother to cut off contact with the client. Additionally, as noted in her caption, the client agreed to “execute the necessary perfunctory forms in the termination of parental rights case.”
In return, the client promised not to make any “disparaging comments” about Bhabie or her mother.
The “Ms. Whitman” rapper also appears to have a rocky relationship with her mother, whom she publicly told to stop “harassing” her back in July. “STAY OUT OF MY LIFE, an[d] stop harassing me an[d] my friends and stop spreading false stories to the media outlets because you’re mad,” Bhabie wrote on Instagram at the time.
A month later, Bregoli allegedly got into a physical altercation with one of her daughter’s friends at their shared home in Florida.
