Her parent’s relationship was short-lived and moreover full of hurdles and controversies.

Over the years, Kalea’s parents were engaged with the court for parental rights, and the battle got lengthed over the years.

However, during the ongoing battle for paternity where Shya demanded increased child support, Offset too requested the court that his daughter has his last name.

As Kalea’s mom accused him of not supporting her financially, the 100 Racks singer argued that he was paying enough for the support. He also claimed that both the parents should equally be financially supportive of their daughter Kalea.
Offset and Shya’s on-off relationship
Throughout the year, Kalea’s mom and dad had an on-off relationship. They loved and argued as the process went on. After not having accepted Kalea’s presence for a year, Offset took the responsibility only after the court dispute was over and a DNA test was done.
After allegedly breaking up, the two were on the bad terms. However, according to Aceshowbiz, as Cardi B filed for divorce, Offset went back to his former lover Shya and daughter Kalea. Furthermore, on getting back together, Kalea’s mom Nicole even posted a cryptic message on Instagram.
She went further to write:

Not long after, Cardi and Offset canceled the divorce and got back together leaving Shya behind.

Offset Was Doubtful if Kalea Was Indeed His Daughter
As the pregnancy of Kalea’s mom was kept a secret, Offset himself too had doubts if he was the father of Kalea. That suspicion led him to miss out on his daughter’s first few years.
Upon finding out that Shya was pregnant with Kalea, Offset blocked her number. She was so upset that she even offered the DNA tests not knowing that Offset had blocked her because he was with his other woman Jamie.

Eventually, the DNA test was performed and Kalea was indeed Offset’s daughter. For this, Offset felt guilty. He even mentioned it in his song “Father of 4” saying:
Kalia, you my first, first daughter
I missed the first years of your life, I’m sorry
Tell the truth, I ain’t really know if I was your father
Tell the truth, I really don’t even know your mama
