Every attention whore has their day, and yesterday was Mashonda’s day to shine. I know she couldn’t wait to Twitpic these images of her son, Kasseem Jr., celebrating his birthday with his deadbeat dad Swizz Beatz at FAO Swartz toy store in Manhattan.
The kid looks depressed doesn’t he? Like he knows he was born to be a photo op for his narcissistic parents and nothing else. Little Kasseem Jr. looks like the walking wounded who’s seen one too many battles between his parents.
You can tell he’s undernourished, wearing a size 3T? My grandnephew is 2-years-old and wears a 4T.
Of course Kasseem’s self-absorbed parents don’t see the damage they’re doing to their son because, well, they’re self-absorbed. So they probably think if they throw enough money at him, such as buying him frivolous things like $400 Louis Vuitton sneakers, that he’ll forget they were horrible parents when he was little.
Mashonda even tweeted “I know one day you might Google us, but I just want you to know there was always love…” Isn’t it sad that the kid has to grow up and Google her tweet to see that they always loved him? Child protection services needs to step in and evaluate this child’s home environment.
Maybe Mashonda should lean on Solange Knowles for advice. Solo seems to be a really great mother to her son Julez.
