LiAngelo Ball Estranged Wife Rashida Nicole Accuses Ex Nikki Mudarris of Harassment Amid Pregnancy Drama
On July 13, 2025, Rashida Nicole, the estranged wife of former NBA G League player and rapper LiAngelo Ball, took to Instagram Stories to accuse Ball’s ex-girlfriend, Nikki Mudarris, of harassing her during her pregnancy.
Nicole’s scathing posts, which did not directly name Mudarris but were widely interpreted as targeting her, alleged attempts to instigate an abortion and wishing harm on her unborn child, due in December 2025.
The accusations follow Mudarris’ emotional interview on The Jason Lee Show, where she detailed Ball’s abrupt departure from their 3.5-year relationship after impregnating another woman, presumably Nicole.
The public feud, amplified by Ball’s recent divorce filing from Nicole, has sparked intense online debate, highlighting a messy love triangle involving the Ball family.
Details of the Conflict
Rashida Nicole, a lifestyle influencer and podcast host, expressed frustration in her July 13 Instagram Stories, writing, “I was really trying to chill because I am pregnant. But I am sooo tired of this bish keep talking about me! So let’s talk about it!!! It’s obsessed! You are sooo focused on blaming me for y’all problems! He decided to leave!” She further alleged,
“This lady has harassed me the entire time behind the scenes, trying to have ppl call me to abort my baby, wishing death on my unborn child and so much more! I’m done!” Nicole’s posts also included a “PSA” noting her December due date, implying a timeline that overlaps with Mudarris’ claims, and thanked detractors for “free promo” while she’s “baking this beautiful baby.”
Nikki Mudarris, a former Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star and realtor, appeared on The Jason Lee Show on July 13, 2025, recounting how Ball ended their relationship via text, stating, “We need to co-parent, I got someone pregnant,” when their daughter, LaNiyah Nicole Ball, was only four weeks old (born December 3, 2024).
Mudarris and Ball, who also share a son, LaVelo Anthony Ball (born July 19, 2023), were together for 3.5 years before their February 2025 split. Mudarris described the breakup as a “blindside,” accusing Ball of abandoning their family for a new relationship with Nicole, whom she referenced in a since-deleted Instagram post as “the girl he left his family for.”
Timeline and Divorce Filing
LiAngelo Ball and Rashida Nicole reportedly married on March 24, 2025, in a civil ceremony in Southern California, shortly after his split from Mudarris. On June 26, 2025, Nicole announced her pregnancy, expressing mixed emotions as a former teen mom but gratitude for her daughter’s support.
However, on July 3, 2025, Ball filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” and requesting joint custody, visitation, and no spousal support for either party, with their separation dated June 15. The filing, just days after Nicole’s pregnancy announcement, shocked fans, especially given the couple’s appearance together at the BET Awards on June 9, 2025.
Public Reactions and Social Media
Nicole’s accusations against Mudarris prompted varied responses online. Some Instagram users, as reported by The Shade Room, criticized Nicole, suggesting she had previously taunted Mudarris during her postpartum period, with comments like, “You reap what you sow” and “A house built on another woman’s tears will never stand.”
Others speculated that Ball himself may have encouraged the harassment, with one user writing, “Plot twist. It’s him having people call to tell you to abort the baby.” Mudarris, meanwhile, was praised for her resilience, with her June 2025 birthday post stating, “This year was heavy — it broke me, but it also brought me back to life,” earning support from fans.
Mudarris has not directly responded to Nicole’s harassment claims but has focused on her children and career, including her Nude By Nikki lingerie brand and real estate work. Ball, in a July 2025 Billboard interview, downplayed the public drama, stating, “It doesn’t rub me the wrong way or nothing because nobody really goes [through] what I go through every day.”
He also denied abandoning his children in a February 2025 Baller Alert appearance, saying, “I’ll never leave or ‘abandon’ any of my kids.”
Context of Ball’s Personal and Professional Life
LiAngelo Ball, 26, has transitioned from basketball to music, signing a $13 million deal with Def Jam in 2025 after his viral hit “Tweaker.” His personal life, however, has overshadowed his career. His relationship with Mudarris, which began after meeting at Runyon Canyon, produced two children but ended amid allegations of infidelity.
Ball’s rapid move to Nicole, followed by their marriage and divorce, has fueled speculation about his commitment, with Mudarris previously calling his actions “coward pathetic s—” and Nicole now alleging harassment. The public feud has drawn comparisons to Ball’s earlier controversies, including a 2017 shoplifting incident in China.
Implications and Ongoing Drama
The feud between Nicole and Mudarris, centered around Ball’s actions, underscores the personal toll of his high-profile relationships. Nicole’s allegations of harassment, including attempts to pressure her into an abortion, are serious but unverified, as Mudarris has not been named directly in the posts.
The overlap of Nicole’s pregnancy (due December 2025) with Mudarris’ daughter’s birth (December 2024) suggests a complex timeline, intensifying public scrutiny. Ball’s silence on the harassment claims, combined with his focus on his music career, leaves the narrative largely driven by Nicole and Mudarris’ social media posts.
As the situation unfolds, it continues to captivate fans and critics, with no resolution in sight.
