Whew, chile! Dr. Umar Johnson is back in the headlines, and this time, it ain’t about Pan-Africanism, building schools, or fundraising (well, kinda). The streets are talking, and the latest tea is that he’s allegedly a deadbeat father. Now, let’s be clear; I don’t know if this is true or false. I’m just here to sip and report, not validate.

A young woman named Anisa has come forward, claiming to be Dr. Umar’s daughter, and she’s not holding back. According to her, not only has he been absent from her life, but she also alleged that he physically abused her mother back in the day. And let’s just say, she wasn’t using her indoor voice when making these claims. Since then, the internet and YouTube streets have been on fire, with people weighing in left and right.

Meanwhile, Dr. Umar hopped on live to address the drama, and in true Dr. Umar fashion, he turned it into a loyalty test. He told his followers, “Pick a side and stay on it.” Basically, you’re either Team Umar or… well, not.

And then, enter Valerie Denise Jones of Big Media Worldwide, a media powerhouse who’s worked with Dr. Umar in the past. If you don’t know her, she’s been in the game for a while, and her phone has been blowing up with people asking for her take on the situation. But sis kept it real simple… she just wants her money. Yep, she casually reminded the world that Dr. Umar still owes her coins. The video, posted on her show You Be Tha Judge, even includes footage of the infamous Frederick Douglass Marcus Garvey Academy, which has been “coming soon” longer than some of y’all have been in situationships.

So yeah, this situation is a lot. But don’t take my word for it, check out Valerie Denise Jones’ video below and let me know your thoughts.

And most importantly, when is Dr. Umar gonna cut that check? Asking for a friend.
