Roddy Ricch is getting real about his personal struggles in his new single, “Survivors Remorse.” The rapper dives deep into his battles with lean addiction and ongoing family issues, giving fans an intimate look into his life.
The lead track from his upcoming album, “Survivors Remorse,” sees Roddy addressing the recent custody battle with his ex-girlfriend over their three-year-old son. He raps, “I been goin’ through child support/ A good daddy, I vouch for it/ She just want a new mile for/ F*** a ride, fell out with some of my homies, havin’ too much pride.”
Roddy also opens up about his struggle to quit lean, confessing, “Pride myself off the progress of being off codeine/ I promise, it’s so hard to shake.”
Earlier this month, Roddy’s custody dispute with his ex, Alexandra Kiser, was settled. The agreement grants him physical custody of their son from Tuesday through Thursday each week. Additionally, Roddy will pay Kiser $8,000 a month in child support, along with covering private school tuition, medical bills, special-needs therapy, and extracurricular activities. He also agreed to pay her legal fees of $37,500 and provide $1,000 a month for a car.
Kiser had initially sought sole custody, citing concerns over Roddy’s alleged gang ties and drug use. “Rodrick Moore is gang-affiliated,” she claimed in court documents. “He has been arrested on a gun charge, domestic violence and regularly indulges in promethazine use, all of which are concerns for myself and our son.”
Kiser also alleged that Roddy cut her off financially and tried to force her out of a home he provided. She requested the court to establish paternity and sought $20,000 a month in child support, claiming Roddy’s net worth is around $25 million and he commands fees of $500,000 per appearance.
