In her very first interview, Nia Guzman, the mother of Chris Brown’s 2-year-old daughter, opened up to Latina regarding what it’s like to raise a child with the controversial singer and how their relationship came to be in the first place.
According to 32-year-old Guzman, she and Brown met through a mutual acquaintance and established a friendship. She told the publication that they were friendly for about five years and that their relationship only went south when they began to disagree regarding custody of the toddler. Interestingly, there was no mention of Karrueche Tran, Brown’s ex-girlfriend and an apparent acquaintance of Guzman.
“We had mutual acquaintances; that’s how we met, probably a good five or six years ago. And it was always just a friendship, and it was just nothing more, nothing less. It was just a friendship. And not until the custody issues were raised, that’s when we stopped talking, and negativity started,” she explained. “But at the beginning of all this, it was all love. We both went through breakups, we both dealt with them, we both checked on each other throughout everything going on. And then to be here now is just really… is just really crazy, and it’s really hurtful. I don’t know how to get back to the way we were, until time can heal that.”
She also explained that Brown knew about their daughter, Royalty, long before the world found out about her and said that raising a child alongside the R&B superstar has been a completely negative experience.
“Well, the world didn’t find out about her until a year ago. He always knew about her; he just wasn’t ready to deal with the situation,” she confessed. “But, it’s been quite the experience. I can’t say anything positive about it… at all. Nothing positive.”
As for the public’s perception of her, which is that she’s a gold-digger who hit the jackpot, Guzman insists that people have it all wrong. According to the single mom of two, she’s not interested in Brown’s money — she only wants to raise her child in a “balanced” and safe environment.
“Gold-digging. I think this whole money issue too has been out of control. This number that people are stuck on, this $15K, this $16K… that is something that is legally calculated, from dad’s income. So, it’s not even a set number. I just want to have Royalty in a safer home. I would want it to be not leave to dad, and not be in a mansion, and huge playrooms and backyards and TV rooms, and then she comes home with me, and you know, she’s in a small apartment. I just want to keep her balanced. He feels like she should have everything when she’s with him, and limited when she’s with me. And I don’t think that is ok, at all.”
On several occasions, Brown has also implied that his daughter’s mom is an unemployed gold-digger; however, the former model says that she has a solid plan for the future — and that plan does not include staying at home and living off of Chris’ money. Instead, she intends to enter into the medical field.
“Eventually, when everything calms down, I’m going to get my license out here for radiology, for the CT and the MRIs, nothing major,” she said. “And just go back to everyday life, or what I used to live in Houston. I’ve just got to wait for everything to calm down, and maybe get some help out here. I’m trying to get my mom to move out here, and then maybe I can go forth with my life.”
