Chris Brown says he has not seen daughter Lovely in seven months amid custody dispute

Chris Brown said on Oct. 5 that he has not seen his four-year-old daughter Lovely since March, as her mother seeks full physical custody and increased child support.

Lovely is Brown’s daughter with Diamond Brown. Full physical custody, the arrangement where a child lives primarily with one parent, is at the centre of the filing reported by Billboard.

Brown said the seven-month gap in visits came despite financial support. He said he pays for cars, a house, schooling and medical costs for Diamond Brown and Lovely, plus $10,000 per month.

Diamond Brown disputes both parts of that account. She denied blocking visitation and said she invited Brown to a New York Fashion Week event that Lovely took part in. She also denied receiving a $10,000 monthly payment.

The disagreement extends beyond money and visits. Diamond Brown claimed that Brown harasses her on social media, according to iHeart. Brown has not detailed his response to that claim beyond his wider denial of restricting access.

Three other women who share children with Brown then spoke in his defence. Nia Guzman, Ammika Harris and Jada Wallace each posted messages supporting his parenting after Diamond Brown’s criticism.

Brown and Guzman reportedly share joint custody of their daughter Royalty, an arrangement where both parents share legal responsibility, according to The Shade Room. That history has become part of the public exchange, with supporters pointing to his other co-parenting relationships.

Diamond Brown had previously sought legal and physical custody of Lovely with visitation for Brown, according to HotNewHipHop. Her current request moves further, asking the court for full physical custody and more support.

No court ruling has been reported. For now there are two competing accounts of access and payments, and a case still to be decided.
