Matt Barnes’ Baby Announcement Photo Takes a Turn After a Fan Brings Up His Child Support Woes

Somebody dissed Matt Barnes after he posted a photo of his newborn son, and he shot back but it didn’t go too well.

The former NBA player and his girlfriend Anansa Sims welcomed Ashton Joseph on December 7, and the picture Barnes shared showed the newborn asleep.

Matt Barnes responded to a woman who trolled a photo of his son

“Just in time for the holidays,” he wrote. “Ashton Joseph Barnes aka ‘AJ.'”

But instead of commenting on the actual photo or saying congratulations, the woman who dissed him brought up Barnes’ custody case with his ex-wife Gloria Govan.

“She gon’ get you next for child support like the other three,” wrote the Instagram user.

Then Barnes, in a seeming attempt to end the woman right there, brought up her eye makeup. At least that’s how his message read.

“You do freelance makeup for the circus?” he wrote.

But a lot of folks sided with the women and said they liked her makeup. Others just criticized Barnes’ clapback skills and said they definitely need some sharpening.

“Her make up looks great,” someone wrote. “His comeback was wack.”

“My four year old has better comebacks,” wrote another. “And his face is burning ’cause he’s mad that she’s right.”

“She definitely hit a nerve.”

“Cornyyyy.”

“LOL. That comeback was DRY. He felt some type of way about what she said.”

But a few people, not very many, said the woman was “out of line” for coming at the former Los Angeles Clipper, and she had no right to speak on his custody case.

Last week we shared the news that Barnes got his child support payments to Govan lowered from $20,000 a month to around $6,000. He also received primary custody of his twin boys, while Govan gets to see them once during the week and every other weekend.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
