A viral podcast clip reignited drama around LiAngelo Ball as he claimed he was pushed into marriage, prompting a sharp response from Rashida Nicole and widespread online criticism.
LiAngelo Ball has remained in the public eye for years, largely due to his famous family and his life outside of basketball. He and his girlfriend, Rashida Nicole, also announced their pregnancy online earlier this year. Now, his personal life is back in focus after a viral podcast clip pulled private moments into the spotlight, sparking heavy online reaction.
The moment came from a clip shared on X. In the video, Ball said he was pushed into marrying Rashida Nicole in 2023, claiming she drove him to the courthouse while he sat in the car close to tears.
During the podcast, LiAngelo Ball explained how the marriage happened during a confusing period after his breakup with Miss Nikki Baby. He said he felt disconnected and pressured. “I told her I didn’t want to go. She drove me to the courthouse, and I was about to cry in the car,” Ball said on the Ball in the Family podcast.
The clip quickly spread, reaching over three million views. It added to ongoing tension tied to Ball’s divorce, public co-parenting issues, and his changing career path after stepping away from professional basketball.

As the clip continued to circulate, attention shifted to Rashida Nicole’s response. She reacted strongly on social media, rejecting Ball’s claim and calling out what she saw as blame shifting during a difficult breakup.
Nicole denied forcing him into marriage and pushed back publicly. “No one forced a grown man to do anything. Just like I can’t force him to be a dad,” she wrote, while also accusing Ball of being absent during her pregnancy and their daughter’s birth.
The public response online leaned heavily toward criticism of Ball. Many users mocked his account and questioned why an adult would frame himself as powerless. Others also tied the situation to his stalled NBA career and past personal choices.
As the divorce, custody issues, and online debate continue, the situation highlights how personal decisions can follow public figures long after relationships end. Moreover, for LiAngelo Ball, the viral moment has once again placed his private life under a harsh spotlight.
