After sharing the tragic news on Saturday, Miami thanked followers for sending their condolences, saying on Monday night that the positive “energy is appreciated and felt.”
Then, in a written message on her Instagram Story Tuesday morning, she cleared up misrepresentations of Fetty Wap as a father, explaining that their “co parenting had improved off [Instagram] and we came to a better place for Lauren.”
“He became more financially and emotionally responsible for her,” she said of the rapper. “He didn’t post her the same way I didnt, because Lauren use to get a lot of disrespectful things said about her and I asked him not to.”
“All that y’all need to know is Lauren loved her daddy and he loved her. She made him laugh with her crazy funny personality and she loved to be the center of attention and he loved to be her audience,” the mother continued. “It couldn’t hurt Some of y’all to bealittle bit more compassionate, you don’t have to kick a man while he’s down. Losing a child is as down as it gets,” she added.
