Aja was in the headline for her baby daddy drama when she was labeled as “homewrecker” and “other woman that Wade cheated on Union with.” 

He was in a relationship with the Union for years, but they decided to split. 

Aja, who had known Dwyane for ten years, got hooked up and later got pregnant with his child. Wade and Union sorted out and reconciled after a few periods.

Her dad wants the court to change the current custody

On September 22, 2018, her dad filed a document in Los Angeles requesting the judge to change the current custody orders with her mother. 

According to him, as a primary custody holder, she was unable to fulfill her responsibility and failed to prioritize their education where his children are habitually absent to class.

 He has also claimed that she took one of her daughters on a cruise when she was supposed to be in summer school. 

He also questions how she spends the child support she gets from Dwyane as well. However, her mother claims that he only wants more custody so he can pay less money.
