Fantasia isn’t letting anyone steal her shine, not even family.
Full story below.
Fresh off a viral Valentine’s video of her husband Kendall Taylor performing what he described as “a proper proposal” after 11 years of marriage, Fantasia has kept mum when it comes to outside noise about her relationship.
This time, however, she’s taking the gloves off after her father Joseph Barrino took to social media to call out Kendall – accusing him of stealing from her and even urging fans to “pray” for his daughter.
“Fake Cry Bull Crap…hes giving back some of the missing money the fired financial committe says hes probably stole…that they couldn’t account for…y’all pray for fantasia! I hate this for her,” Joseph said on social media on February 15.
That didn’t sit well with Tasia at all.
In a now-deleted Instagram post delivered Wednesday (February 18), Fantasia put her father on blast for speaking on her marriage, and she took it all the way there; even referring to him as a “donor” instead of a dad.
She wrote:
“I wasn’t going to do this but this has gotten out of hand. Joseph Barrino I can’t even call you Dad or a Father, you are a DONOR!!! We have covered for you long enough. My Mom and Me have made you LOOK like you were an okay man but NOW YOU HAVE COME FOR MY KING!!! Tonight I will go Live and behind me will stand all who know YOU!!!! How can someone steal if I, Fantasia Taylor, am the CEO and My King Kendall Taylor is the President of ALL OUR COMPANIES.
Tonight I shall help you finish the war you STARTED!!!”
Kendall also posted a video addressing the allegations:

And this isn’t the first time there’s been tension between Fantasia and her father. Back in 2006, Joseph Barrino filed a $10 million libel lawsuit against Fantasia over 2005 memoir, ‘Life Is Not a Fairy Tale.’
He claimed the book contained false information about him.
