LiAngelo Ball, AKA Gelo, has filed for divorce from Rashida Nicole just days after the influencer announced she was pregnant with the couple's child.

Court records, obtained by TMZ Sports, show the basketball player-turned-rapper got married on 24 March this year and separated on 15 June. The reason behind the divorce was listed as "irreconcilable differences".

The documents also show that Ball is asking for joint custody and visitation.

Just seven days before the filing, Nicole revealed she and Ball were set to have a baby together.

Shortly after news of the divorce broke, the Tweaker rapper told Billboard News: "When people conversate about my personal life, it don't touch me or bother me too much. Like I see it, of course, because you know, everybody got a phone, but it don't rub me the wrong way or nothing because nobody really go what I go through every day. You not me, for real. So it don't mean s**t, for real."

The mother of Ball's other children, Nikki Mudarris, claimed in March that he left her and the family shortly after she gave birth to their second child.

"We spent three and a half years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids and tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new life with her," Mudarris posted on her Instagram page at the time.
