Bhad Bhabie's Dad Slams Her Song As Opposite Of The Title

Bhad Bhabie's father, Ira Peskowitz, is calling out his daughter's new single, claiming her track "Honest" is anything but truthful.

His remarks come as a shock, given that earlier this year, the 56-year-old proudly shared that he and Bhabie had finally repaired their strained bond after years of courtroom battles and emotional distance.

Bhad Bhabie's strained relationship with her father, Ira Peskowitz, stems from her childhood, worsened by his absence and concerns about her early rise to fame.

Bhabie's new track "Honest" is not sitting well with her father, who claims the rapper's words paint a false picture of their past. He says the song's portrayal of him as an absent father who "sold her for $20,000" could not be further from the truth.

Peskowitz believes his daughter's version of events comes from years of manipulation by her mother. "A narcissist, or other people, they alienate a child by saying so many negative things about the other," he explained.

TMZ reports that Peskowitz insists he has proof he tried to help Bhabie before her viral Dr. Phil appearance, even trying to enroll her in a behavioral program. He added, "I don't want my daughter's money. Everybody else is manipulating my daughter for money, and she knows it."

Before the current fallout, Peskowitz once described his reunion with the artist as one of the most emotional moments of his life.

The Sun reported that back in January, he shared how he and Bhabie had finally rebuilt their relationship after years of legal battles and estrangement. Peskowitz said seeing her again at his Palm Beach home felt "priceless" and made his family "finally complete."

He recalled being in disbelief as Bhabie sat in his kitchen for the first time in decades, surrounded by his wife and sons, Isaac and Ilan. Their reconnection, he said, would not have happened without the star's baby daddy, Le Vaughn, who encouraged her to reach out.

When Bhabie reconnected with Peskowitz, things were not instantly perfect. He admits their reunion came with "good times and rough times," as years of hurt and unanswered questions resurfaced between them.

He said the mother-of-one had every reason to feel emotional, but he has always been honest with her, even when the truth was not easy to hear. He shared that they are slowly rebuilding trust, and their bond has been "growing stronger" over time.

Despite the tension resurfacing in her new song, Peskowitz has always insisted his intentions have never been about money. At the time, he made it clear he had "never earned a cent" from Bhabie's fame and never plans to.

Bhabie was caught in another round of family chaos back in August. The "Hi Bich" rapper's Florida home became the scene of a police visit after her mom, Barbara Bregoli, got into a tense confrontation with one of her daughter's friends. 

The Blast reported that Bregoli told officers she pulled a gun in self-defense after the friend, identified as Ricky, got violent and snatched her phone, leaving her with bruises. However, police did not buy her version of events, labeling her the aggressor. Despite that, no arrests or charges were made.

Bregoli claimed she went to the house after receiving a security alert about movement inside. Once there, she found Ricky in the bedroom, sparking the altercation. Bhabie later confirmed to cops that Ricky was allowed to stay there. 

Bhabie cannot seem to stay out of trouble. A month before her mother's heated altercation made headlines, the songwriter was slapped with a major lawsuit from American Express over nearly $700,000 in unpaid debt.

The Blast reported that the credit card company is demanding the full amount owed, plus damages, after claiming the 22-year-old failed to uphold her payment agreement.

Court documents filed on July 2, 2025, in Los Angeles show that Bhabie allegedly breached her contract by stopping payments in December 2024.

American Express stated that the TV personality opened the account in April 2021 and promised to repay all charges and fees either in full or through monthly installments. The company now wants the entire $674,452.40 balance covered.

It seems the brief calm between Bhad Bhabie and her father, Ira Peskowitz, is starting to fall apart.
