Bhad Bhabie’s father, Ira Peskowitz, is publicly challenging the accusations leveled against him in his daughter’s latest single, “Honest,” asserting that the lyrics are entirely fabricated. In an interview with TMZ on Tuesday, October 21, Peskowitz vehemently denied the claims and revealed he possesses documentation to support his assertions.
A Father’s Response to “Honest”
The dispute stems from lyrics in “Honest” where Bhad Bhabie raps about her father attempting to reconnect with her only after achieving fame, and alleges he “sacrificed a relationship for $20K.” Peskowitz responded directly to these accusations, stating, “Every one of those statements is a complete lie.” He specifically refuted the claim of selling his daughter, clarifying, “I didn’t sell her for $20,000.”
Peskowitz maintains he actively sought to be involved in his daughter’s life long before her appearance on “Dr. Phil” and even attempted to enroll her in a program for assistance shortly before the television appearance. “I have documentation to show that I tried to get her into a program to try to help her out,” he stated.
Bhad Bhabie first gained widespread recognition in 2016 following an appearance on “Dr. Phil” with her mother. The appearance quickly propelled her to internet fame, largely due to the viral sensation of her defiant “Catch me outside, how about that?” meme. Despite the years that have passed, and his daughter’s continued success, Peskowitz expressed confusion over the ongoing animosity.
“I don’t know why she hates me so much,” he lamented. He further emphasized the enduring love within his family, stating, “I’m just so irate that she doesn’t get the fact that I’m the only one — and my wife and her brothers — who love her for who she is and not for her money, not for her infamous, famous persona.”
No Legal Action Planned Despite Public Criticism
Despite the deeply personal and public nature of the accusations, Peskowitz affirmed he has no intention of pursuing legal action against his daughter. “Why would I want to do that? Why would I want to go sue my daughter?” he asked rhetorically. He reiterated his continued support, stating he remains “here for her” despite the current conflict.
Bhad Bhabie has remained musically active, releasing tracks like “Ms. Whitman” earlier this year, followed by “OG CRASHOUT” and a freestyle over Sexyy Red’s “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad).”

The situation highlights the complexities of family dynamics, even – and perhaps especially – within the glare of public scrutiny. Despite the pain caused by his daughter’s lyrics, Peskowitz’s unwavering declaration of love and refusal to engage in legal battles underscores a father’s enduring hope for reconciliation.
