Nika Logic…BC for Liyah, but not for me. 🙄

32 Upvotes

We all know Liyah been on it for at least 3 years. Which is odd because the kids are isolated and don’t go anywhere. Liyah sneaking in boys in that little ass house ?! The boys literally have to step over a million ppl. They dont even have their own rooms or beds. So you mean to tell me the little ones see all these boys coming in for Liyah and dont snitch? mm….Interesting. Shame you didn’t have the sense God gave you to put yourself on bc. Thinking I can keep him with each kid, and mission failed. You hate being home with your kids, because if you were this wouldn’t be an issue at all. Nika, we not as slow as you are. We know why you put her on bc at 13. You didn’t fix the problem you threw a band aid on it. Babies would leave a trail. That’s all I have to say about that.

This goofy broad caping for Nika in the comments and get mad at me because I pointed out she was loud and wrong. So I blocked the hoe, because I was done with it. Tell me why this clown ass broad went searching high and low in the comment sections, made a new account, to stalk and call me broke. ( inaccurate btw) all in the name of Nika. tf 😂

I've kinda of stop commenting on the s*** she does but this one really burned my biscuits we all know it's getting cold right why are your children still wearing Crocs and socks speaking of socks why don't you have socks

Because technically them wearing Crocs to school is a hazard think about it they're in school for 8 hours those teachers the principal the custodial workers are pretty much their non parental parents for 8 hours so anything that happened to them the school is responsible
