Teen Parents with DNA Drama! 🫠🧬️ | KARAMO

In a televised episode of The Karamo Show, 17‑year‑old mother Khaleah confronts her alleged father Deshawn over the paternity of her 5‑month‑old son, Ka'Yer. Khaleah claims Deshawn is the father, while Deshawn insists he is not, citing lack of resemblance and a timeline that doesn’t match. Family members—including Khaleah’s mother Keyonna, aunt Rosie, and Deshawn’s brother Daylon—join the heated discussion, trading accusations and defending their sides. The host, Karamo, repeatedly asks probing questions to uncover the truth and gauge emotional impact. After a tense exchange, a DNA test is presented, confirming that Deshawn is not the biological father. The revelation triggers anger, disbelief, and calls for apologies, while Karamo emphasizes the need for support for the teen mother and the child, who now faces fatherlessness. The episode ends with the host urging viewers to subscribe and reflecting on the broader social implications of teen pregnancy and family conflict.
Chapters
This girl Khaleah got pregnant and tried to say I was the baby daddy. But I know I'm not the father of this baby. I don't look like this baby at all. Plus the timeline of when we hooked up doesn't even match up. And I know I'm not gonna let no girl pin a baby on me. I ain't paying child support for the rest of my life.
And this baby don't even look like my brother.
I gotta ask you, how does it make you feel watching that?
They lame.
They lame?
It don't make me feel no type of way 'cause I know what it is, they know what it is, it is what it is, and it is what it is.
So. She said what she said. All right, so what was your relationship with Deshawn?
It was nothing serious. He knew what it was, I knew what it was. We're young, he's young, we was having fun. And when it wasn't for us, we knew it wasn't for us. It wasn't nothing. 7 weeks later, oh my God, you know what I'm saying? Surprise, I'm pregnant, bitch. But guess what? That don't mean that you ain't gotta take care of responsibilities. You get what I'm saying? It's time.
So did he show up for you when you were pregnant? Not really.
He was like, "Oh, okay, we gonna handle it. We're gonna do it together." And then he was there for a little bit, you know what I mean? And then time went by, disappeared.
Was he in the hospital when Ka'Yer was born?
He was in the waiting room.
He was in the waiting room.
Yeah.
But he didn't wanna come into the delivery room 'cause fathers are able to do that.
There's a lot of daddies in the world, but there's only a couple fathers that you can, you feel me? So I wasn't really worried about it. I had my mom and my auntie, so I was straight.
Got it. That's your beautiful baby right there?
Yes, he is.
That is a beautiful baby.
Beautiful king.
Did Deshawn, Did he sign the birth certificate?
No.
He did not. Okay, and what was his reasoning for that?
He wasn't in the room. He was in the waiting room.
Mm-hmm, but he could've still came out there and signed it.
I shouldn't have to hold your hand, bruh. You a grown man. You wanna sign the birth certificate, you gonna be in there.
Got it.
You gonna be in there. Where's it at? Where's the pen?
Got it. How difficult has it been taking on all of this as a teen mother?
Terrible. It's terrible. You got this you gotta worry about, you got that, you gotta worry about. And then like I said, I have a wonderful support system. But my mama, my aunt, mainly my mama. That's my rock.
Give it up to them. Give it up to them.
That's my mama, like you said. My mama's my rock, I ain't gonna lie.
So I know we're here because we wanna see and confirm the paternity.
Yes, I wanna hear you are the pappy. I want you to say that to me. You are the pappy. I don't wanna hear nothing else.
You are the pappy.
You are the pappy, yeah.
So, but is there a possibility that your child could be someone else's?
No, and I'm gonna tell you how I know. And this is real good logic right here, okay? You know how when a male get a female pregnant, oh, she a hoe, oh, she slept with this person, she with this person, she talk to this person. Baby, let me tell you something. As much as we hoes, y'all hoes too. But I'm gonna tell you, but I'm gonna tell you though, what you can't deny, you can't deny facts. Baby, I'm brown. My mama brown, my brother black, black, he real black, okay? We all brown and black, baby. I like brown and black. I made an exception for you, Hope. My son, my son is light. He ain't my color, he ain't my mama color, he most definitely ain't my brother color 'cause he's black.
So why is the Sean's family making this doubt about the paternity then? Because it's not just him, there's the family that's doing this, right?
I don't give a damn about none of 'em. You are the pappy, where it's at? They gonna feel it. I tell them, like I told him and his family, I can't control y'all emotions. I can't control the way y'all move. I can't control nothing that y'all do. But that's y'all that's gonna be missing out at the end of the day. He's a wonderful baby. He's a happy baby. Y'all do what y'all do. Y'all move the way y'all move.
So the families are feuding now, right? You both have families for how long? Since day one?
Mm-hmm.
Mm, okay. How's that affecting you?
They don't like me and that's okay because I don't like them. It takes for me or somebody else in my family to reach out for them to wanna jump and do something. Like I said, there's a lot of daddies in the world, but there's only a few fathers. I'm not ready to tell you what to do. I'm not ready to tell you how to move.
How many times has he met the baby?
A couple of times.
When you say couple, 5, 6?
Maybe.
10?
Maybe. Not even that close, I don't know.
He's not, he hasn't met 10 times, meet the baby?
No.
And how old is your child?
5 months.
5 months. Got it. Okay, well listen everyone, before we meet Deshawn, please welcome Kaleah's mom, Keyonna, to the show. Yeah. She's joining us from home because she's babysitting for you right now, right?
Yes.
How did you feel finding out that your 17-year-old daughter was pregnant? I can only imagine what was going through your mind.
I was, let's say, shocked.
Yeah.
No, I wasn't mad 'cause, you know, things happen.
Yeah, what do you wanna say to Deshawn today?
He needs to step up. I'm not gonna keep on taking his clothes in place of his father.
Do you think that Kyair looks like Deshawn?
Yes, look at him.
I mean— Hold on, I heard a couple people here. I heard a couple people say it. What y'all said? Yes. Oh, oh, don't play with him. You ought to pat me. I wanna hear it right now.
Yeah, look at him and look at us.
Yeah, well listen everyone, I wanna hear what Deshawn has to say about all of this. So I think it's time to meet him. Everyone please bring out Deshawn.
And you got with multiple more people than just me, so.
Okay, I'm sexy.
Hey.
Now what?
That puts us right where we are right now.
So because you're saying that she had multiple men that she was dating at the time, that's why it's giving you doubt?
And just more weird things like she said that I didn't wanna sign the birth certificate. She didn't let me and she didn't let me be there.
Didn't even let him in the room.
Okay, is that true?
Like I said, I don't know you.
I had to call him and tell him to man up for himself to get in that room.
I don't know you.
I don't know you. It doesn't matter.
I know the truth.
Pause for a minute.
This is Daylon.
Daylon, you're—
You're Deshawn's brother, correct? Take a stand up for me. So what are you saying? 'Cause you can be a perspective of this 'cause you were here.
Yeah, see my perspective of this is they gonna say that he didn't wanna be there or he didn't wanna man up and be there, but they didn't even let him in the room and I had to call him and ask him why he's not in the room. That's your right as the potential father of this baby that probably ain't even yours. No, actually it's not yours. You are full of shit. Everything you just said and your mama, that's all full of shit. And you wanna know something crazy? I had doubts before anybody.
You do not want to be the father?
No, sir.
Got it. And why do you not want to be the father? Is it just because of the doubt or is there other reasons?
Well, I wasn't ready for kids to begin with when this started.
Yeah.
But when it presented itself, I put myself in a position to be able to overcome that. But after seeing him after he comes out, like yes, he has my color. Yes, you could say he has hair that is similar to mine. But other than that, like in my facial features, it's not there.
As of right now, paternity is not confirmed or denied. And so you don't get, you're right now, you get to make this choice of like, I'm not gonna be around. She said you haven't seen your, you've only seen your child, potential child 10 times.
Well, she likes to inflate and exaggerate. So it's definitely not 10 times.
So have you seen the child more than 10 times?
I was there from, there's months that I was there. There was a month that I was not there. And then I came back. I was there when he was born. I was there the first 2 months after he was born. And then once, The doubts and everything got too far.
That's when you stayed away?
Yeah.
Now it's one thing if after month 2 when you had the doubts, you would've been here on the Karamo Show immediately, but now you went 3 months without potentially being there for your child. Do you see how that could be wrong?
Yes, I see. When I came back and spoke to her, I was fully aware, I took accountability. But the only thing is she's just gonna keep bringing it back up. And even after I came back, I told her that I can't just make it right just like that. I can't take back that time, but I'm willing to put invest everything forward.
If, got it. I respect that. Okay, Kiana, what do you wanna say to Deshawn?
Mama, I just wanna say don't get on TV and lie. Please don't, because you know you have had ample, ample amounts in time. You are welcome in our house anytime you want. You are welcome over. You have been welcome since day one. You had doubts when your family put the doubts in. For this brother who is back here doing all this hoop hoop and ha ha that ain't never been around.
Talk about?
He is— he's a nobody. Where was he at?
I can tell you myself.
Where was he at when your baby died?
I can tell you myself. I was where— I was the same place my brother was, working my ass off to make a living, support people. I got a family I support too.
Whatever you had to say, we don't care what you have to say.
You don't have to care. People going to hear.
You are a nobody. I don't have to care.
People going to hear.
It's the truth.
I don't speak no lies.
I speak You don't know nothing about sex. Exactly.
Exactly. I don't know if you do or you don't.
What you got to say is sad.
Khaleah, I know your Aunt Rosie is also here in the audience. Rosie, if you can. Rosie, I wanna know what you—
That son don't do us. You need to be quiet because you have nothing to do with nothing. So you could give him a—
I'm the potential uncle of this baby.
I'm speaking, I'm speaking.
That's why you breathing.
I'm the potential uncle of this baby.
I'm speaking. You will. He needs to man up and be a father, 'cause he is the pappy. You know, all this, this is the most he done talked the whole entire time. If he wanted to go in that hospital room, he should've manned up and said something. I was there, he sat there the whole time and did not say nothing. So when you talking, you just, it's one, it's his side, and he's just telling you that side. You don't know the whole dynamics.
Y'all some cornballs. Like y'all really making my wig itch at this point. Like it's not even funny. Like so serious.
Yeah, you a liar, so we can go on and go.
I think it is now time to confirm paternity. If you are or if you are not this child's father. This is a moment. I see the heartache, I see the pain, I see the confusion, I see all of that. And at the end of the day, what we do know here is that only one person is truly gonna be hurt by this. This is the time for the DNA outcome. Are you both ready for this?
I'm ready.
This is not for me to open. This is for you to open. I'm ready. This is for you. He's the pappy. Yeah, this is yours.
I mean, okay, let's all get a moment of silence. You're a cornball. You're a cornball. I want y'all to feel this.
Open the paper.
But listen.
Man, just open them results.
A moment of silence.
He's the pappy.
A moment of silence.
What does it say? Read aloud.
Mr. D.
What does it say? I think you need to grab it. She's not reading it.
No, no, no. What does it say?
Oh damn. I'm in trouble.
So what does it say?
Are y'all playing?
No, what does it say?
Is this a joke? That's a joke.
Deshawn.
Is that for real?
Kair is not your son.
I told you. I told you. I told you. I told you. I told you. I told you.
I told you.
Out the window. Y'all lying.
Now we lying?
Yes, y'all lying.
It's a test, bro.
It's a test, bro. How we lying on a test?
No, y'all lying.
I told you.
No.
Hold on.
Is that for real?
It's not. The DNA tests are honest.
That's for real?
Yeah, we right. I'm sorry.
That's not— no, that ain't that. This ain't that. That's wrong. That's wrong.
Thank you two for being here. What do you want to say?
No, I don't want to say nothing.
I want to say I need an apology for being destroyed publicly, everybody, her mother, Good luck.
Thank you.
Good luck. Good luck.
Good luck.
I'm gonna come talk to y'all. I'm gonna come talk to y'all. Come talk.
What you talking about?
No, no, it's okay because I understand the anger you feel.
Let's go back.
Hold on though, we're gonna go backstage.
But what you talking about?
You saying anything?
Got it.
What you saying?
Come here.
Oh, ain't talking about nothing. Ain't talking about nothing. But get this camera out my face, bro.
Back up.
You get it too, bro.
Back up.
Talk to you real quick.
No, I don't want to talk to nobody. Back up.
Back up.
I need to make sure you feel supported though. She got support. I know you got support. I know you got support. I know you upset and I know you feel embarrassed, but this is nothing for you to feel embarrassed about.
I don't feel embarrassed about nothing.
So then why are you upset right Because my baby is light.
My baby is light.
So then is there other people that we can help you to figure out who the father is? Because at the end of the day, not nobody light-skinned. So how can we support you?
I don't know. Put me on a plane or take me back to rural Kentucky.
Don't take that off yet. Don't take that off yet.
All right, well, y'all can go. Y'all can go. Y'all straight.
I will say this. I know you got your mom and you got your aunt. There's more support you need. If there's anything you need to figure out what's going on to get help with this, we're here for you. This is not something where we want to ever make you feel bad, okay? You hear me? Mm-hmm. May I have a hug?
Yes.
Good luck. I wish you all the best, okay?
I really do. I really do.
I wish you the best. I wish you the best, too.
Thank you.
I wish you the best, all right?
Thank you. Y'all got what y'all needed, y'all can go, bruh. If I flash out, then what? Back up, back up.
I do believe an apology needs to come later to you all. I do believe that what you displayed to me at first is a sense of maturity. And I think the thing that we don't wanna do is, yes, you've been vindicated, but I don't think there should be celebration because at the end of the day, there's a Black child that does not have a father and there's a woman that does not know how to support her child alone. And Mr. Karamo. And that's not on you, but I don't think any of us should ever be celebrating.
I fully understand. What, I don't know 'cause I'm not a woman.
I guess, I guess.
I could imagine what she's thinking right now. Yeah, she's mad. She's been going this whole time thinking that she knew who it was and it's not.
I appreciate the maturity and I'm happy you now have the answers you need. So best of luck to all of y'all. Thank you. Do you love The Karamo Show?
Yes!
Well, we're back for season 2. So make sure to subscribe to The Karamo Show.
