Rapudo hints his baby mama has not moved on
Rapudo hints at the lingering shadows of his baby mama’s past, insinuating that she may be chained to a world she has yet to leave behind.
His revelation comes hot on the heels of a heart-wrenching turn of events—a birthday celebration planned with intense anticipation for his son’s eighth year, shattered by the bitter absence of his beloved child.
He suggests that perhaps his newfound happiness and marriage to the radiant Amber Ray might have cast a long shadow of resentment over his former flame.
Rapudo – We’ve been fighting legal battles
He shared that despite winning a legal battle with his baby mama and making significant efforts to provide for his son, the situation remained complicated.
Rapudo described how the court had ordered him to pay school fees, offer financial support and have visitation rights every two weeks.
“The court gave out its verdict in September this year. I’ve bought him a car and hired a driver who drops and picks him up from school.

Consequently, “The judge said I was supposed to pay for school fees and give her 30,000 per month. On her side, she’s supposed to pay her rent, medical care, clothing, and other things. And I have done my part,” he said.
“Perhaps I have moved forward, and I am now married and content. There are those who may still be rooted in the past, nursing unseen wounds,” he reflects, a glimmer of resolve in his eyes. “But what concern is it of mine?
At the day’s end, I care not for your sentiments, just as you should not be burdened by mine. Our son is the beacon that guides our path.” he wrote.
Rapudo delves into a history of struggle, navigating a legal battle with his baby mama, his unwavering commitment to provide for their child always at the forefront.
A court’s verdict, handed down in September, mandates him to cover school expenses, extend financial support, and enjoy visitation rights every fortnight.
Subsequently, “I purchased a car for him, and I’ve arranged for a dedicated driver who ensures he gets to school and back safely,” Rapudo shares, the weight of his words underscoring the depth of his devotion.
However, disappointments loomed like shadows. A grand birthday celebration, meticulously planned to exude elegance and luxury, ends in a heartbreak, a no-show by his eight-year-old son, the apple of his eye.
Rapudo’s heartfelt words resonate as he paints the picture of a father robbed of an invaluable moment to celebrate. The love that courses through his veins knows no bounds, transcending the physical distance that separates them.
He vows to continue the fight, to persist in his unwavering love.
“Not all absent fathers are absent in heart,” he imparts, his voice a testament to the unyielding love that defines his journey.
“I had eagerly awaited this moment, to celebrate my son’s eighth birthday, and this long weekend was meant to mark the beginning of our cherished sleepovers, after a protracted legal battle.” he wrote.
As he pours out his love and yearning for his son, “Not all absent dads are deadbeats, but just because we are not deadbeats doesn’t mean that our hearts are metallic. I was eagerly looking forward to celebrating my son’s 8th birthday today!
“This would be the first long weekend to have him for a sleepover (after a lengthy court battle), and you should have felt the joy in our hearts,” Rapudo wrote.
Adding, that he felt robbed of the precious moment to celebrate, reiterating his commitment to keep fighting.
“Unfortunately, the moment was ‘once again’ robbed from us because he was a no-show! Every sacrifice, every tear, every missed celebration only amplifies the depth of our love.
“Keep fighting, keep believing, and most importantly, keep loving. Our children feel it, even from afar. #UnseenHeroes. To my son: Happy 8th birthday baby boy, I love you to the moon and back!”
Rapudo who recently welcomed his youngest child, Africanah Rapudo with the radiant socialite Amber Ray, continues to write the story of love, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to family.
