Jamaican TikToker Italian has found himself at the centre of a growing controversy after a 15-year-old girl appeared in TikTok videos recorded at his home. The content sparked rumours that the two shared an inappropriate relationship, which Italian has strongly denied.
After the pair were seen together, a man identifying himself as the teen’s father, known online as Ricky Blacks, confronted Italian during a live stream. Ricky, speaking from Canada, expressed outrage after believing the two were romantically involved. He made it clear that his daughter is only 15, warning Italian that he was getting himself in hot water by having her at his home. Ricky even admitted that if he were in Jamaica, he would have taken matters into his own hands.
Italian pushed back firmly, insisting that the rumours were false. According to him, heand the teen were strictly friends, and he had actually helped her during a difficult moment. He said the teen had been staying with another man, who told her to leave his house. He claimed the girlarrived at his house, suitcase in hand, after she told him she was coming to look for him. When he found out about the situation, he stepped in when the girl had nowhere to go.
He described her situation as unstable, saying her mother had warned her not to go with the other man, but she still chose to leave home. Once at his house, Italian said they slept in different rooms and that he had no intention of crossing any boundaries. When his viewers alerted him that she was underage, he said he asked her to show him her ID. She refused, which led him to contact the police and request that they come to his Kingston address to remove her from his home.
Ricky’s tone shifted after hearing Italian’s explanation. He redirected his frustration toward the teen’s mother, accusing her of allowing their daughter to live a reckless lifestyle. Ricky explained that he has been in Canada for over eight years and has repeatedly contacted the authorities about concerns for his daughter, but nothing has changed. He said the teen has been acting out since seventh grade and believes she should be placed in state custody for her own safety.
According to Ricky, he has always supported his daughter, even furnishing her room at her mother’s home and filing for her to migrate to Canada. Despite his efforts, he said she blocked him and refused to live with him.
Social media users later claimed the teen left Italian’s house before police arrived, allegedly trying to avoid them. Another prominent TikToker, Cute Boss, who says the teen is her cousin, added fuel to the ongoing conversation. She accused the teen of lying and running away frequently. She described the teen as a liar who would even make false claims of sexual assault against men, including an Italian, even if he did not touch her.
