Rick Ross’s Daughter, Toie Roberts, Shares Message To Late Baby Father Lil Poppa

The death of Lil Poppa, born Janarious Wheeler, continues to send shockwaves through his family and fans. On March 3, Toie Roberts — the mother of his child and daughter of rap heavyweight Rick Ross — delivered a raw and unfiltered tribute that doubled as a warning to critics.

In her first Instagram post, Roberts addressed Wheeler by his middle name, writing, “MYKEL..what’s understood don’t ever have to explained especially to the internet.”

The message unfolded like an open letter to the Jacksonville rapper, who passed away on Feb. 18. “Nothing could EVER describe the pain,” she continued, describing their “reality changing before my eyes.”

She questioned why he seemed “in a rush to leave us,” before acknowledging, “deep down, I know you didn’t mean to.”

Her grief centered on their young son. “ESPECIALLY NOT KOFI,” she wrote. “23 what I’m supposed to tell our bayboy?”

Calling them “2 peas in a pod that turned into the BIGGG 3,” Roberts reflected on their evolution from young parents to a tight-knit family. “What’s the big 3 without you P???” she asked.

Though their relationship faced public turbulence, she stressed that “the ‘beef’ was never bigger than what we shared.”

She closed with faith and resolve: “Janarious, I got J’nar. You go on & get your rest… we’ll be fine.”

Her Instagram Stories struck a sharper tone. Acknowledging Wheeler’s stance that “it’s the internet, you can’t beat it,” Roberts still confronted online critics.

“Y’ALL DON’T KNOW SHIT,” she wrote, blasting those who blamed her for his death as “psychotic & insensitive.”

Referencing a 2023 diss track, she claimed she was “lied on” and that Wheeler “apologized… right after he dropped it,” adding, “we BEEN moved on from that.”

In a final post, over a black-and-white photo of Lil Poppa with their son, Roberts returned to heartbreak. “My baby lost his daddy, protector & bestfriend,” she wrote. Their son wants to show his father a new puppy and still talks about homework help from “3 damn weeks ago.”

Through it all, Roberts made one point clear: Lil Poppa’s legacy is personal, and grief isn’t up for public debate.
