Roddy is hoping for shared custody of his 3-year-old son.

Recently, Roddy Ricch entered a custody battle with ex-girlfriend Alexandra Kiser. In a recent petition Kiser submitted she is asking for full custody of the pair's 3-year-old son and the reasons given are alarming. According to AllHipHop, she claims that Roddy is addicted to Promethazine and "prioritizes being high over being a father to their child." She's also asking for 20k a month in child support from the rapper. He's been ordered to pay 24k a month temporarily while the court proceedings unfold.

There are even more and perhaps even worse allegations directed at Roddy Ricch in the petition. Kiser claims that Roddy still has gang affiliations, while also specifically citing an instance where she and their son were evicted from a house Roddy owned despite him having the money to pay for it. She also gave a peek into the artist's financial side claiming that he earned more than $10 million in 2022 alone. Finally, she claimed that he is worth more than $25 million and asks for fees of $500,000 for any appearances. Ricch hasn't responded to any of the allegations made against him, but he is requesting joint custody of the child.
