Kirk Frost, Rasheeda, and Jasmine’s Ongoing Battle: Child Support, Custody, and a Family Divided

The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta drama between Kirk Frost, Rasheeda, and Jasmine has taken another unexpected turn, leaving fans stunned and divided.

This long-standing saga—rooted in Kirk’s past infidelity and his child outside of marriage—has now escalated into a legal battle over child support and custody, raising serious questions about parental responsibility, financial obligations, and personal accountability.

The Backstory: Kirk’s Infidelity and the Child That Changed Everything

For years, Kirk and Rasheeda’s marriage has been put to the test, but no challenge compared to Kirk’s affair with Jasmine, which led to the birth of their son, Kannon.

Fans watched in disbelief as Rasheeda was forced to deal with the ultimate betrayal, deciding whether to walk away or stand by her husband despite the heartbreak and public humiliation.

Ultimately, Rasheeda chose to stay, cementing her reputation as the wife who would always “stick beside him.”

But while she focused on keeping her marriage intact, Jasmine struggled to ensure her son received the financial and emotional support he deserved from his father.

Now, years later, Jasmine has officially taken Kirk to court for child support—a move that has sparked an even more dramatic response from Kirk: he’s now seeking full custody of Kannon.

The Custody Battle No One Saw Coming

In a recent Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta episode, viewers were shocked to learn that despite Kannon being part of Kirk’s life for years, he never had a bedroom in Kirk and Rasheeda’s home.

Every time Kannon visited, he reportedly slept in Carter’s room (Kirk and Rasheeda’s youngest son), rather than having his own designated space.

This revelation raised a serious question: If Kirk was truly invested in Kannon’s life, why didn’t he make space for him in his home sooner?

To make matters worse, the timing of this newfound interest in setting up a bedroom for Kannon coincided with Kirk’s sudden legal move to seek custody.

If he truly wanted custody, wouldn’t he have prioritized creating a welcoming space for his son long before a courtroom became involved?

Jasmine’s Fight for Child Support—And Kirk’s Countermove

Jasmine has long been vocal about Kirk’s inconsistent support. While Kirk and Rasheeda have multiple business ventures and a comfortable lifestyle, Jasmine has had to fight for basic financial assistance.

Filing for child support wasn’t about revenge—it was about ensuring Kannon received what he was entitled to.

However, instead of complying with the request, Kirk responded in an unexpected way: he filed for full custody.

This move raised eyebrows across social media, with many questioning whether this was a genuine desire to raise Kannon full-time or simply a tactic to avoid paying child support.

One fan tweeted: “Kirk Frost is giving ‘I’d rather take the baby than pay child support’ energy. That’s not parenting—that’s being petty.”

Another wrote: “If he wanted custody, why didn’t he make Kannon a priority before? This seems more about control than care.”

Does Kirk Really Want Custody—Or Is This About Control?

Let’s break it down:

Kirk never had a designated space for Kannon in his home until Jasmine filed for child support.

Jasmine has been Kannon’s primary caregiver since birth, with little consistent involvement from Kirk.

Kirk’s sudden push for custody came only after being legally required to pay child support.

If Kirk were truly committed to raising Kannon, wouldn’t he have established a consistent and supportive presence in his son’s life long before now?

Many fans believe his custody move is less about Kannon’s well-being and more about retaliation against Jasmine for seeking financial support.

Where Does Rasheeda Stand?

Throughout this entire situation, Rasheeda has stood firmly beside Kirk—but at what cost?

Despite everything, Rasheeda has supported Kirk’s decisions, even when they directly impact Jasmine and Kannon.

She recently helped set up Kannon’s new bedroom, an act that many saw as performative rather than genuine.

If she truly embraced Kannon as part of the family, why did it take years for him to have a proper space in their home?

Some fans speculate that Rasheeda’s involvement in the custody case isn’t about Kannon at all—it’s about keeping Kirk happy.

Does she truly want Kannon around, or is she just going along with Kirk’s strategy?

The Bigger Conversation: Absent Fathers and Financial Responsibility

This situation has sparked a larger conversation about deadbeat fathers and the lengths some men will go to avoid paying child support.

Kirk has made it clear that he believes Jasmine is never “satisfied” with the financial support he has provided.

However, Jasmine claims she has been raising Kannon primarily on her own—with significant help from her ex, Rod, rather than Kirk.

Rod, who was once rumored to be Kannon’s biological father, later confirmed that while he and Jasmine were together during Kannon’s early years, he had actually stepped up as a father figure in Kirk’s absence.

Kirk’s Financial Support: Is It Enough?

At one point, Kirk claimed he had given Jasmine $205,000 over the years. That number sounds impressive—until you break it down:

$205,000 over 8 years (Kannon’s age) equals approximately $2,100 per month.

That amount may seem reasonable, but considering Kirk and Rasheeda’s income level, is it really enough?

Jasmine has repeatedly stated that she still had to rely on other financial sources and support from Rod to raise Kannon.

If Kirk had truly provided everything his son needed, why would Jasmine be taking him to court now?

Final Thoughts: Who’s Really Thinking About Kannon?

At the heart of this situation is an innocent child who deserves love, stability, and consistent support from both parents.

If Kirk wants to be an involved father, why wait until court is involved to fight for custody?

If Rasheeda truly accepts Kannon as part of the family, why didn’t she advocate for him to have his own space in their home sooner?

If Jasmine was genuinely receiving adequate financial support, why would she feel the need to file for child support in the first place?

The Verdict? Kirk Needs to Step Up—Not Just Legally, But Emotionally

If Kirk truly wants to be in Kannon’s life, he needs to do more than fight against child support payments.

He needs to be a father in every sense of the word—emotionally, physically, and financially. A father isn’t just a paycheck. A father is present, engaged, and loving.

And Rasheeda? If she’s going to stand by Kirk, she needs to ensure that Kannon isn’t treated like an outsider but rather as an equal member of their family.

As this custody battle unfolds, one thing remains clear: Kannon’s well-being—not Kirk’s finances—should be the priority.

The fans are watching, the court is watching, and most importantly, Kannon will grow up watching. The question is: Will Kirk do what’s right before it’s too late?
