Denise Bidot, the girlfriend of popular American rapper Lil Wayne, has accused him of physical abuse.

The 38-year-old model made the allegation in an Instagram post on Sunday.

Expressing her frustration with Lil Wayne, she claimed that the singer dumped her on Mother’s Day via text message.

“Breaking up with someone on Mother’s Day is diabolical. Prayers up though. God always pulls me through. Walking with faith.

“Wayne literally kicked me and my daughter out on Mother’s Day today. I’m just recovering from surgery. I’m five weeks out from a whole mommy makeover. I can’t even lift my boxes. But this man has his assistants coming to help kick us out and break up with me through text.

“This man has actually laid a fucking hand on me. And I took it. They always say we are so stupid for love, and I thought it was a mistake. But I know other women he’s put his hands on.

“I know he flew in two girls today, and who knows how many he has,” she added.

Bidot further requested lawyer recommendations from her followers.

DAILY POST recalls that Wayne, who is yet to respond to the allegations, was previously linked to model La’tecia Thomas before announcing his relationship with Bidot in 2020.
