As the news circulated, it led to his longtime girlfriend Karrueche Tran breaking up with him, as well as the boyfriend of baby Royalty’s mother to speak out in shock.

Since then, the boyfriend had dumped Nia Guzman after finding out the child was not his, but it looks like that’s all changing now, according to TMZ.
The site reports that King Ba was devastated to hear that Royalty was not his baby, but has gotten back together with Nia, and wants to take over father duties like she is his own. Apparently, he also spent Easter with her, as it appears on his Instagram.
He wrote on his Instagram, along with a photo of him and the adorable baby girl, last week:
Been A Dad Still A Dad ..Minus All the Nonsense That Been Going On We Still Kick It ..Still Keep It Cool #MyStank
He seems to be saying he acted like Royalty’s dad before he learned Chris was the biological father, and now he’s over technicalities and is stepping in as a parent.
Ba and Nia had an Easter celebration with Royalty and her older kid, so it looks like Ba is backing up his intentions with actions.
It’s hard to determine what the parental set-up is for Royalty, especially since Chris is on the road in Africa at the moment, but we’re sure everything will be straightened out soon.
