Fabolous Seemingly Takes Shot At Stepdaughter Taina In New 'Selfish Freestyle'

Fabolous has seemingly taken aim at his stepdaughter, Taina, in a fiery new song called “Selfish Freestyle.”

Released on Saturday (December 30), the track finds the Brooklyn rapper delving into the complexities of navigating various relationships while adopting a self-centered perspective.

“Selfishness will make someone comment under your pic/ When he took care of you and your mama since you were six/ Who selfish?/ Maybe we all are,” he spits.

Watch the video below:

The dig appears to stem from an exchange between the pair in October 2022 after Fabolous wished his 2-year-old daughter Journey a happy birthday in a heartfelt post on Instagram.

“I named you Journey because that’s really what it’s been,” he wrote alongside a photo of him cradling his daughter. “Might not know when you going thru it, but you’ll get it at the end.

“I don’t believe you can have faith unless you trust the JOURNEY. You have taught me that so I look at you with understanding & love. Your life assures it will all add up… 10 • 10 • 2020. Happy Bday Journey Jackson.”

The post seemed to strike a chord with Loso’s stepdaughter, Taina Williams, who threw shade at the Brooklyn MC in a since-deleted comment.

“This post is hilarious,” she wrote, accompanied by a series of crying laughing emojis. “‘Might not know when you going thru it, but you’ll get it at the end’ Is Translation for = I haven’t taken care of my daughter in almost a year & don’t even ask about her well being because IDC.

“[And] Im bitter & I’m only a father to my two beautiful sons who I can manipulate. Stop playing with the internet.”

Speculation has been rife since earlier this year regarding the status of Fabolous and Emily Bustamante’s relationship, the parents of Taina and Journey. In 2018, the pair made headlines when Fab faced charges for assaulting Emily, a situation they seemingly worked through.

“Selfish Freestyle” is Fabolous’ third release in as many weeks following “Benzgiving Freestyle” — a freestyle over Drake and J. Cole’s “Evil Ways” — and “Tuluminati.”

During an interview with HipHopDX last year, Fab shot down hopes of releasing another S.O.U.L. Tape mixtape, but revealed plans to release a new project called Reloaded.

“I’m actually trying to figure out when to be able to release it. I wanna say I’ve been working on it for a little while so it’s probably from around now to about 2019, 2020. So really with me working all through that time, I was able to give little pieces of myself in different times,” he explained.
