Rapper DaBaby and singer DaniLeigh have reached a settlement in their long-running legal dispute over their daughter, bringing a new development to a custody battle that began with a paternity case in 2024.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the former couple signed a 13-page agreement addressing custody and financial support for their 5-year-old daughter, Velour Babyleigh Kirk.
One key detail in the deal: DaBaby will pay an undisclosed amount in monthly child support. The specific payment and the full terms of the agreement have not been disclosed in the supplied information.
The legal dispute began in 2024, when DaniLeigh filed a paternity petition. She claimed she was their daughter’s primary caregiver and asked the court to order monthly child support.
DaBaby pushed back against that account of their parenting arrangements, maintaining that he had a close relationship with Velour and had been actively involved in her life since birth.
He also asked the court to legally establish his paternity and set terms for child support and joint custody.
The newly reported agreement addresses the issues that brought the former couple into court. However, the available details do not specify the precise custody schedule, whether the agreement includes additional parenting provisions, or how the responsibilities are divided between the two parents.
The settlement follows a highly publicized breakup in 2021. DaBaby and DaniLeigh’s split became the subject of public attention, with their relationship later spilling into disputes that extended beyond their romantic history.
Now, the focus of their legal proceedings has shifted to a formal agreement concerning their daughter. While the undisclosed financial terms leave some details unknown, the 13-page deal marks a significant development in a case that has kept the former couple connected through the courts years after their relationship ended.
The full terms of the settlement have not been made public in the information provided, so it remains unclear what specific custody arrangements the agreement establishes.
