The Anthony Edwards rumor mill has been spinning fast and furious lately, with whispers suggesting that he's looking to make a massive move in the child support department. The buzz claimed that Edwards wanted to pay 18 years' worth of child support upfront. However, these assertions have hit a roadblock with Ayesha Howard, the alleged recipient, who refuted the claims, dismissing them as entirely groundless.
Even as Howard sought to set the record straight, NBA veteran Jalen Rose’s daughter, Mariah Rose, decided to dive into the fray. Rose took to social media platform X, sharing candid thoughts on the alleged situation. Her post aimed at both Howard and the Timberwolves star, critiquing the decision-making of both parties involved.
"I have an interesting perspective, or should I say opinion," Rose expressed. She questioned Howard's choices, particularly why she would engage with a man who reportedly has been quite active off the court, in a manner of speaking. Rose was candid in her call-out, directing her concerns at Edwards for making choices that could lead to such rumors in the first place.
"Girl, what? But also, why would he- You shouldn't have unprotected, you know what, with somebody you don't want to have a child with. That is the risk you're taking," she continued, clearly unsatisfied with the circumstances surrounding both Howard and Edwards’ decisions.
Meanwhile, Howard gave an official statement to The Shade Room, clearing the air surrounding the rumors. She emphasized that there's been no legal motion or proceeding related to Edwards attempting to prepay child support.
"There are no court documents, motions, or proceedings that have occurred, nor have I been offered or agreed to such terms," Howard clarified, putting to rest the speculation about any preemptive child support deals.
These swirling rumors took off on X, first making waves on March 31. An unverified account launched these allegations, claiming that Edwards was in talks to handle his child support obligations in one financial swing. The gossip caught fire, spreading quickly despite the lack of concrete evidence or credible sources to back up the claims.
The chatter intensified when, on April 2, another user posted similar claims about Edwards supposedly shelling out a hefty $1,080,000 in advance child support. Although like the original rumor, these new claims didn’t gain validation from verified reports, they nonetheless increased the frenzy.
As the rumor continues to circle, Edwards has remained silent on the matter. The Timberwolves star has yet to give his side of the story, leaving fans speculating and discussions heated. For now, it seems the situation is more smoke than fire, with Howard's clear denial serving as the closest thing to clarity on this hot-topic issue.
And while the rumors run their course, Mariah Rose's social media dive has added another layer of intrigue, illustrating how quickly a story can escalate without any solid ground beneath it.
