The baby mama drama is real for the reality star.

The marriage between Stevie J. and his late friend Notorious B.I.G.'s widow Faith Evans was a surprise to pretty much everybody, but it looks like the Grammy Award-winner has found true love. The two are living the good life in L.A. and Stevie claims that he's left the cheating, creeping life behind him, but now he's being accused of being a deadbeat dad to his daughters Eva and Bonnie Bella.

Stevie and his ex Mimi Faust were together for a number of years and the two share parental responsibilities of the 10-year-old Eva, but according to Mimi and her pro-basketball girlfriend Ty Young, Stevie isn't stepping up to the plate. On the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta premiere, Mimi suggested that Stevie got married, moved across the country, and hasn't seen his daughter after spontaneously jumping the broom. Ty has been playing basketball overseas in Israel, but she recently posted a sweet message on Instagram that started a little bit of drama.

"#SelfieSunday with boss baby," Ty wrote. "She looked at my IG today and said heyyyyy mommie has way more pics than me." Stevie slid in the comments and wrote, "Y'all should adopt." There was something about Stevie's response that sent Ty over the edge because she fiercely snapped back. "Adopt Eva? Yeah she did say I'm like Mommy #2...So you mad because you left your family years ago and now your baby mama #4 and daughter are loved??!! Be mad if I'm mistreating your daughter not mad because she's loved and getting the attention she needs as a child."

"My ovaries work fine though," she continued. "I'll carry our new baby and Eva will have a sibling in the house. And you can continue to be an Instagram daddy and ONLY spend time with Eva when you have to film for TV like you been doing." Stevie tried clarifying his initial statements by writing, "[I] was actually saying you two should adopt your own kid in a good way but never ever speak on my daughter again. I love all my children & they love me. Stevie Wonder can see that."

Ty came back and told Stevie he never says anything "in a good way" and that he was just acting innocent because he was called out. Meanwhile, you know an argument like this wasn't about to happen without the Joseline Hernandez, the Puerto Rican Princess herself, adding her two cents. "And not to mention he has not seen Bonnie Bella for one year. Faith Evans pays her child support. And he did not even buy anything or call for Bonnie Bella for her birthday. But maybe one day he will change. I'm keeping my hopes up. Every kid needs their parents. But I'm like this. Thanks for the n*t."
