Chingy responds to the criticism he received on social media after revealing that actor Isaiah Russell-Bailey is one of his four children.

Some Threads users questioned why he specifically name-dropped Isaiah but not his other children, while others criticized comments he previously made about Isaiah’s career as an actor and questioned his role as a father in helping him.

He addressed the backlash in a statement released by Hollywood Unlocked, saying Isaiah “knows the relationship he and I have” and “knows the love I have for him.”

He also explained that not everything a father does for his children is shared publicly, adding that when it comes to Isaiah’s career, he wants his son to “build something that belongs to him—not live in my shadow.”

“I’m proud of my son, I love my son, and I don’t need social media to validate that,” he said.
