Dwight Howard’s 12-Year-Old Son Braylon Says He “Ain’t A Real Dad”
Los Angeles Lakers champion Dwight Howard has been making headlines lately, and it’s not because of his 2020 NBA win. The sports star has been in the thick of celebrating the L.A. team’s victory, but Howard has been called out left and right by the mothers of his children. Last week, former Basketball Wives star Royce Reed took to social media to declare that Dwight Howard was a deadbeat dad who never sees his kids. She is the mother of their 12-year-old son Braylon, but Royce isn’t the only mom with a bone to pick with Howard. Christina Vest, the mother of his other son, Trey, also suggested on her Instagram Story that Howard has been absent and may have left another one of his children with a babysitter for two months.
On Thursday (October 22), 12-year-old Brayon reposted Christine Vest’s message to his own Instagram account and added a few words about his father. “From my brother mom,” he wrote, referencing Vest’s post. He added, “My dad isn’t a real dad. He don’t even talk to me and he know I’m sad and need him. I’m almost 13 so I can talk now.”
Despite being called out on social media, Howard hasn’t responded to the accusations that he neglects and ignores his children. It’s reported that he has five kids with five different women, and one of the mothers passed away earlier this year.

Wyn Calico create the need to support with his latest release “Support”
Wyn Calico steps into deeply personal territory with his latest single, “Support,” a heartfelt offering that addresses a feeling many people know, but rarely express so openly. It’s a song about the universal desire to be encouraged, recognised, and uplifted, turning personal frustration into a relatable message of resilience.
“Support” is a meditation on what it feels like to work tirelessly for something you want, but not have the support you need to fully achieve it. Wyn Calico expresses the emotional burden of wanting to make a difference, believing in your purpose, and still moving forward when you hit setbacks. The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.
This song also highlights an important truth, there are many talented and hard-working people out there who have everything it takes to make a difference, except the encouragement and opportunity to flourish. Wyn Calico’s lyrics and delivery shine a light on that struggle and offer a sense of solidarity to those in similar situations.
“Support” isn’t just a personal statement. It’s a conversation starter. It encourages us to think about the value of community, support, and believing in each other. Wyn Calico’s latest drop is honest, relatable, and emotionally driven, a powerful reminder that even in the moments of isolation, the desire to keep pushing forward is still stronger than ever.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”
NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.
“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.
The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
