The internet is on FIRE right now after Dr. Umar Johnson was put on blast by none other than his own daughter—and let’s just say, the revelations are not a good look.
Dr. Umar, known for his outspoken views on Pan-Africanism, Black empowerment, and community building, is now facing serious allegations of absentee fatherhood from his daughter, who took to TikTok Live to air out her frustrations. And honestly? The receipts she dropped are making it real hard to defend him.
What His Daughter Had to Say
According to her, Dr. Umar has been missing in action her entire life—so much so that she doesn’t even know her own sister. She claims that when she asked her father to connect them, he completely ignored her.
Imagine trying to build a bond with your own sibling, only for your own father to hit you with the silent treatment.
And it gets worse. She says Dr. Umar missed every major moment of her life—birthdays, graduations, milestones—everything. In fact, she made it clear that her stepfather has been more of a father figure to her than Umar ever was. Now, let’s be real—when your child is out here publicly thanking another man for stepping up in your place, it says a lot about the type of dad you’ve been.
But the biggest bombshell? Umar’s name isn’t even on her birth certificate. Yup, you read that right. Even after a DNA test confirmed he’s the father, he never made an effort to establish his legal paternity.
She Just Wants to Be a Big Sister
One of the saddest parts of all this? She didn’t even go live to “expose” him—her main reason for speaking out was to connect with her little sister. She said she finally got in touch with her sister’s mother and plans to speak with her after school. Her goal? To be a real big sister and help guide her through life, since, well… it looks like their father isn’t doing much guiding himself.
And before anybody starts saying she’s doing this for clout, she shut that down real quick. When people asked why she wasn’t posting the DNA test results, she said:
“I’m not proving anything to strangers.”
Dr. Umar’s Response—A “Typical Pookie” Move?
Of course, Dr. Umar wasn’t about to let this slide without responding. And y’all… his response is straight out of the “Ain’t My Fault” playbook.
According to MamaofRih (who reposted his comments in Post #70), Umar is blaming the mother for everything. Yep. The same man who preaches about Black families, Black unity, and the importance of strong father figures is out here dodging responsibility for his own child.
People are already labeling it a “Typical Pookie Response”—you know, the whole “It’s the mama’s fault, she kept me away, she’s bitter, she poisoned the child against me” speech we’ve all heard before.
But let’s be honest—if a man is serious about being in his child’s life, no bitter ex, no drama, no court system can stop him. Especially someone like Umar, who loves talking about how Black men need to “take charge” and “lead their families.” So, the whole “blame the mother” excuse? Not flying.
The Internet Reacts: “This Ain’t Pan-African King Behavior”
As expected, social media is eating this mess up. While some hardcore Umar followers are trying to downplay the situation, most people are calling him out for the hypocrisy.
One Twitter user said:
“So you can build a whole school, but you can’t pick up the phone for your OWN DAUGHTER?? Make it make sense.”
Another chimed in with:
“Dr. Umar be talking about ‘saving the Black family’ but can’t even save his own. This ain’t Pan-African King behavior.”
Meanwhile, others are just flat-out disappointed. Some people who actually respect his work are saying that this situation is making it real hard to take him seriously anymore. And honestly? They’ve got a point.
What’s Next?
At this point, it’s unclear if Dr. Umar is going to step up and fix the situation or just keep doubling down on the blame game. But one thing’s for sure—his daughter has already made her stance clear:
“I’m not trying to tear Umar down. He tore himself down by being a bad father.”
Whew. That part.
So now, the real question is—will Dr. Umar actually do some self-reflection and be the father he claims Black men need to be? Or is this just another case of loud talk, no action?
