NBA player Anthony Edwards’ off-the-court relationships are no secret, thanks to leaked texts and ongoing paternity and custody disputes.  It’s erupted yet again with his latest child, with Ayesha Howard, who also shares a kid with rapper Lil Baby. Edwards has been critiqued for asking Harris to get an abortion and promising not to be in the child’s life should she proceed with the pregnancy. Fast-forward to months later. Harris has had their daughter, Aubri Summers, and Edward has doubled down. He wants no involvement with the mother and daughter, even beyond surrendering parental rights.

A new rumor floating around social media states that instead of a monthly child support payment, he wanted to pay a lump sum of a little over a million dollars to wind his hands of the situation.
“NBA star Anthony Edwards made a historic move by paying $1,080,000 in child support all at once, covering 18 years worth of payments,” the debunked tweet read. “That’s $5,000 a month—but he decided to settle it all up front. The message is clear: “Don’t ask me for a thing for the next 18 years!” But Howard has now come forward to dispel the rumor, telling The Shade Room that the offer of a one-time million-dollar payment is false. 
“There are no court documents, motions, or proceedings that have occurred, nor have I been offered or agreed to such terms,” Howard told The Shade Room. While it may be false, it would technically be a financially savvy move for Edwards. He’s currently on a five-year, $244 million contract but will be eligible for a supermax-level contract if he makes an All-NBA team, and even more so once he hits his peak in his late 20s.  This is just the latest daddy duty drama Edwards faces after welcoming his first child with Draja Carlyle in September 2023, followed by his second child with Shannon Jackson in March 2024, which was documented in Netflix’s Starting 5.   Add that to the rumor that he’s reportedly got another baby with a woman named Ally D, who, according to the Atlanta Black Star, has proof that he is an absent father to their child born in October 2023.
Rumor or not, see how social media is reacting to Edwards fathering multiple children in a little more than a year below.
