You Gave The Baby ANOTHER Man's Last Name & Now Pinning It On Me?! | KARAMO

Me and Deshawnie has had issues in the past. We've been together for 5 years and it's been, you know, up and down. I love her so much, I proposed to her. You know, she's my soulmate, my fiancée. But all of that is on hold because unfortunately, you know, she decided to get involved with someone else. And then, you know, then she got pregnant. And she told me it's a possibility that the child might not be mine. She eventually told me that a guy named Messiah might be, um, BB's father. I have no idea who he is. That's just somebody she said she was involved with in the past. I know his name is Messiah, but there's nothing about him that's close to, you know, our Lord. So I'm trying to figure out how did he even get that name. He made a fake DNA test to avoid the responsibility of a father. The reason I signed the birth certificate is because that baby needs a father. And that coward of a man, Messiah, is not the man for the job.

All right, everyone, please welcome Deshawni to the show so we can hear her side of the story. All right, so what do you think about what he just said?

I feel like he real delusional. We have not been in a relationship for 5 years. It's been really rocky. Yeah, that—

So are you and Travis engaged?

No.

You're not engaged?

No, he proposed to me before I was even pregnant with my son and I cut it off.

Got it. So do you think Travis could be the father of your 2-year-old son?

No, I know for a fact that he cannot be the father because of science. And when I left him, it was a month in between me getting pregnant. So there was no way. That he could be the father.

Got it.

Okay, then why did he sign the birth certificate?

Because he, I mean, I guess he wanted to step up, but I explained to him that him signing the birth certificate would cause further issues.

So then who do you think the father of your child is?

I know for a fact Messiah is the father.

So Messiah that's here with us today, he is the father of your child? Yes. Got it. And you plan to have this baby with Messiah, as my producers told me?

Yes, we planned out having a baby And that's why it's so frustrating because it's like we planned this out and then when it happened, now you don't wanna take responsibility.

[Speaker] Got it. Why is he denying your baby now if y'all planned it?

[Speaker] I feel like for one, it's for his image. For two—

[Speaker] His image, being a deadbeat dad is an image? I mean, I'm not saying that he is, I'm not saying he is, but like when you say your image, I know I did read a little bit, but I didn't mean it. Masai, I don't know you yet, so I didn't mean to read you like that. But I'm just saying like if you say When you're saying that's your image, what's the image that you're trying to protect?

Image, um, ever since I've known him, it's always been about an image. What he wears, what he buys, it's always been an image. So I feel like if he could put on this persona that he doesn't have any kids, he could have any woman.

Got it, so that's the image, okay. Yeah, yeah. So we have a timeline to help us understand what's going on. So everyone take a look at this. So it says that in 2021, you dated Travis. Yes. April 2022, you left Travis.

Yes.

April 2022, you were intimate with Messiah. Uh-huh. Okay. The reason— April 2022, you conceived the baby.

Uh-huh.

Tell me yours. Okay.

Yes, but the two spaces where it both says April, in between that time before I left Travis, we were not intimate.

Intimate. Okay, that makes sense. Okay. And then the pregnancy test in May 2022 and then January 2023, the baby was born.

Yes.

Okay then. Could anyone else be your child's father?

No.

Well, I think it's time to hear Masai's side of the story. So everyone please welcome Masai to the show. How you doing, Masai? How you doing, man? Thanks for being here.

Thanks for having me.

So did you plan to have a baby with her?

So this is what it is. When me and Deshawnie first started talking, whatever, we planned that. Then she went to Atlanta and came back and then we was just, we wasn't planning on having no baby.

You knew why I went back to Georgia. I went back to Georgia because I didn't have a place to stay and I knew he would open his arms in me being there to have my baby.

[Speaker:KARAMO] Okay. So why do you have doubts?

[Speaker] I mean, at the time, first of all, she gave the baby the man's last name. Who do that? If you know it's not his baby, who do that? Then second of all, y'all in the hospital taking pictures and stuff together. Who do that?

And then third of all—

[Speaker] You were denying my baby from the beginning.

[Speaker] I didn't deny nothing. If I know this is my baby daddy, I'm not gonna give this man, this baby, this man's last name, first of all. Then I'm not gonna be doing all this. And then I'm like, come on, let's get serious. Anyway, and then it was like the timeframe was like a month.

Are you interested in knowing if this child is yours or are you just interested in wanting to have sex with her?

Very much. That's funny.

Very much interested in knowing the child is mine because at the end of the day, if it is, I mean, I gotta be there. I gotta be a good father. I gotta make sure that this child is okay. But you know, at the time—

Can I ask a question?

Yeah, of course you can.

I wanna know why your family doesn't know about my baby.

'Cause I don't know about your baby. I don't know if the baby mine or not.

I mean, I'm just gonna be honest. If we planned a baby, you know about my baby.

How they gonna know if I don't know? I mean, I'm gonna give you 100. I mean, I don't know. So the baby, I don't know if the baby mine or not. So I'm gonna put it out there for a reason for people to, you know, I'm not gonna do that.

So did you see that timeline we had earlier?

I seen that.

Does that timeline make sense to you?

I mean, a little bit. I mean, yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, did you really leave Travis? You know what I'm saying? But yeah, they're intimate, yeah, you know, yeah.

Okay.

A little bit.

Do you have a relationship with the child?

Yeah, I mean, I was there for birthdays, I brought him cake and gifts.

Pause.

He don't got no relationship with my baby. He bought a cake for my child and he never even, on his first birthday, he never even picked my baby up.

And how old is your baby now?

My baby is 2.

2 years old, okay.

Your baby ever spent the night at my house?

He has, but, but, but.

Right, right, so anyway, I have a relationship with the child. Yeah. Yeah, more than once, so yeah.

Does he look like you? Please, please.

She say he do. She say he do, but I mean.

So you ain't never took a picture and said that my baby look exactly like you?

He don't look exactly like me.

What?

Well, Messiah's girlfriend is joining us in the audience, so everyone please welcome Precious to the show. So Precious, what's your thoughts on this situation?

That he telling me he don't got no kids and my tubes are tied and I was willing for him to have an extra girlfriend for he can have his legacy and he already got a possible baby. That's foul. Now I wanna know if it's his. The baby look like him. I want him to be the daddy.

Yeah.

Let's be real.

Yeah.

You the father, I don't care.

So hold on, hold on, hold on.

I don't care. I don't care.

Hold on, 'cause I'm nosy. When you agreed to, so you agreed to let him have another woman so that he can have a baby?

Yes. Yep, 'cause I can't do it for him. I'm not selfless. If as you're a woman, I can't give you everything, I'mma be the woman to say I'll provide for that.

So why don't y'all adopt? You know what, that's enough, Karamo.

We're gonna get into that later.

So what you think, Precious? So hold on, no, no, we gonna end this now. So why don't you just let him adopt? Why don't you just adopt then if you want him to give him the child?

No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm—

So then, so is it artificial insemination?

I got my 3.

So you're allowing him to have sex with other women?

Yep, 'cause I like women too, so we having fun.

Oh, y'all gotta agree then, okay, y'all gotta agree then, okay.

I'm trying to figure out. I'm trying to figure out.

But you believe that this is his child?

Yes.

You believe this is his child?

Yes.

So she's on your side?

I mean, I get that, but I'm trying to figure out why, why when he lied to you the first time, and said that he didn't have no kids, why continue being with him?

I just literally found out, so at this point I don't know where my head at with him because it's like, dang, I literally found out the day y'all caught him chilling in the bed like, what?

So that's what you doing when you out here telling people you ain't got no baby? Lie.

Technically.

Okay. Well listen, there is one more person involved in this DNA mystery. And this is Sean's ex Travis, and he's joining us remotely. Travis, you there?

Yeah, I'm here.

Let me ask you first, why did you sign the birth certificate?

'Cause he a dummy.

He wanted to stay close to me.

You said Messiah, you think he a dummy?

Yeah, that was stupid.

I signed the birth certificate to be a father.

I ain't seen my father in 38 years, mind you.

I signed the birth certificate because that child needed a father, not a coward-ass father, you understand what I'm saying?

Not a man running from his responsibility. And furthermore, To go back on what you said about being delusional, I actually give a damn about you. I ain't never wanted you for no sex, period. I actually wanted a family. You know, everybody have they ups and downs and go through, you know, have they time of they life where they grow up. I ain't never wanted you for your body. I ain't never wanted you for no sex.

That wasn't the point. You knew signing the birth certificate we were gonna have these problems. Why sign the birth certificate and then not wanna pay child support?

I signed, listen, Listen to me, I signed the birth certificate to be the baby father, even if I am or not the dad.

But when the responsibility came around for you to be a father, you told the people that my baby was not your baby.

Honey, listen to me. I have done for BB, and ain't nobody else done for BB. What do you mean child support? And furthermore, if BB is or ain't my son, I'm still gonna be there for him. Like I've been there for him on the low. But you don't wanna speak about that, though, do you? Whatever you ask me for, whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it for the baby.

No, but you don't.

I've been doing stuff.

Oh, he does. Even when y'all not together, he still gets support.

Yeah.

So then you understand his frustration and hurt then because he—

I do, I do.

Because he's saying like, I never wanted you for you, but I wanted you for you and I wanted your child for you.

I get that, but he knows why we're not in a relationship.

Got it, you're right.

Let's not play like, I'm ungrateful or anything like that. He knows why we not in a relationship. I left so many times, he knows this.

I don't, I really don't.

He said he don't, what's the reason?

I don't.

What's the reason?

I'm not trying to get into all of that.

It's about my son.

At the end of the day, he signed a birth certificate knowing that my baby was not his and now we're here.

So Travis, you believe this is your child?

Karamo, to be honest with you, man.

Yes, sir.

Oh, I want him to be my son. And like I said before, even if he's not my son, I'm gonna still be by that baby's side.

But we all know it's that baby's dad.

With the passion this man talking with, I wanted to be his son too. I don't want to be your son too.

I'm gonna say this right now because Deshawna, you did say, 'cause you know I track everything here, you did say earlier that when he walked out, you said, "I only went to Travis because I knew he'd be the only person to take in a pregnant woman." Right.

That is true. That's something I wanted to come in on. 'Cause you knew.

I did what I had to do at the time because I did what I had to do at the time. That's what I did.

But you do understand that's trifling because you're playing with his emotions.

I wasn't playing with his emotions though.

I don't feel like I was playing with his emotions.

Well, if you say, "I'm coming back to you," you because you're pregnant, because I know you're taking a pregnant woman back.

But we had that discussion before I came back. We said that we were gonna work things out.

Oh, so it was not just, I'm gonna go use him. You're saying that y'all got back together for a relationship.

Yes, we did. But at the end, it did not work out.

It didn't work out.

You was just here. I'm ready to come home. I'm fleeing a domestic violence situation. I'm ready to get married and and stuff like yourself.

I did say that, I did.

You was here.

I was.

And you turned right back around.

But why did I turn back around though? You're not naming all the facts. Why did I turn back around?

I don't know.

Have you ever been in a situation where you're fighting with a man and his mom? You wouldn't wanna be in no situation like that.

But see, that wasn't the case at that point in time.

Listen, I think it's time to get this DNA truth, okay?

Come with me.

Okay, so Deshawnie, what we know to be true is that you have a beautiful 2-year-old child and in your mind, through the timeline that you've given us, Messiah is the father of that 2-year-old. Though Travis has been in that child's life, signed the birth certificate. So both men, Travis was would like to be the father. Masai is saying that he will step up if it is his child. This is your DNA truth to open, not mine.

Before I open this test, I just wanna say that through all of this, the only thing that I wanna find out is who my baby's dad is. I never took away from anything that anybody did for my children. And yeah, I just wanna know the truth. Says Deshawnie Messiah is not the biological father.

Okay, so Messiah, you are not the father. So how do you feel about that?

I guess.

I mean—

You're happy.

I mean, yeah.

You go and do whatever you wanna do.

You don't have to worry about me no more.

But Desani, you were convinced that he was the father. What is going through your mind right now?

I kind of feel a little frustrated. I do feel some type of way because I wanna know, but—

So this is the thing right now. So for everyone at home, we need to solve this DNA mystery with Travis, but you only wanted to know if Messiah was the father. So we focused only on Messiah and not on Travis. So, and that's what we do here. We would like to solve this for you, Travis. And so would you be willing to come back so we can give you results of if you are this child's father? Because at the end of the day, Travis, you must know. You do need to know. You need to know if this is your child or not.

Of course, I don't want him to go through what I went through.

Okay. So yeah, so we will get the DNA results for Travis, but I gotta ask you, Deshawnie, is there anybody else that could possibly be the father?

No.

Nobody else? It would only be these two?

No.

Okay then. Well, listen, Messiah, I'm glad that you got your results. Apparently for 2 years you've been in this situation that you didn't need to be in. Listen, you two, I'm— Yeah, okay. Okay, okay. But listen, Travis, this is serious. I know that there's been a lot of pain and hurt that you've just experienced on this stage because there's a lot of things that have been said that I know shocked you. And that's not to take away any of the pain I understand the pain and hurt that you've experienced in this relationship, but I think for us to get closure and for everyone to move on, we gotta get these results. Who think there's a third person?

Right?

There's somebody else. There's somebody else. I already know this. She ain't telling the truth about that timeline.
