Basketmouth’s ex-wife, Elsie, on the evening of Friday, April 10, issued a cease-and-desist letter to those alleging their marriage ended over paternity fraud.

In a formal cease-and-desist letter via her lawyers, Primeview Legal, she again dismissed claims that her marriage ended because their first child was not the biological son of the comedian.
The notice described the circulating allegations as false, defamatory, and malicious.
Elsie revealed she chose to take action because she was worried that some innocent and unsuspecting members of the public might take such false publications as the true state of things in the marriage between her and her estranged husband and begin to bully their son, on and off, social media spaces.

She also issued a strong warning of potential civil and criminal actions for reputational harm and emotional distress to her and her family.
Recall that in 2023, Basketmouth announced the end of his marriage to Elsie on social media.
