“I never said the baby is not mine” - K Solo

K Solo clears the air in a statement. He said:

“The fact that I divorced Kike doesn't mean I denounced the baby. You can take the wife of a lazy man but not his child. When he grows up he will identify his father. I never said it's not my baby and I don't know why people actually said so, maybe because she didn't bring the baby to me when he was delivered. I impregnated her, though a lot of fornication might have gone on during the pregnancy. I know my love and she (Kike) is just a baby mama.”

The estranged wife gave birth to their son on October 26, 2012. Two days later, K-solo's management released the statement you see above. Now he says he never denied the baby.
