The Challenge alum Ashley Cain defends newborn son’s name as critics blast ‘disrespectful decision’

Critics blast Cain over ‘disrespectful’ name choice

Along with his IG caption, Cain added a comment defending the decision to use Diamond for his newborn son’s middle name.

“What the letter ‘A’ holds is a family tradition, being the first letter of my father’s and all of my uncles first names. The name ‘Diamond’ is from my grandma and their mother. It’s our family name along with Cain, it’s our Vincentian roots, all the way from our small island and from our great people,” he wrote.

Many commenters criticized the decision, with some calling it “disrespectful” and others indicating it was “narcissism.”

“Asaylia would NOT be proud of this, my gosh the disrespect to her mumma,” one individual wrote.

Another commenter criticized Cain, saying, “the level of disrespect towards the mother of her first child is off the charts. Major narcissistic moves. Scandalous behavior.”

“Unfollowing for how shocked I am with this name and the disrespect,” wrote another.

Cain’s ex is reportedly ‘heartbroken’ over news of his child with another woman

As of this writing, Cain has not disclosed the name of his newborn son’s mother. According to The Daily Mail, he indicated it was a woman he’s not currently with but has known since he was 18 and has dated on and off over the years.

Cain was previously with Safiyaa Vorajee, the mother of his late daughter Azaylia. The couple split in March 2022, nearly a year after Azaliya’s passing.

Per The Mail’s report, Safiyya expressed she was heartbroken over Cain fathering a child with another woman as she claimed he had asked her to try for another baby together. Safiyya said she’d been hoping for a reconciliation with Cain.

Safiyya reportedly has received positive and supportive messages from followers and fans after Cain’s recent news.

On Saturday, Safiyya shared an update in which she told followers, “Once you master the love within yourself, nobody can take that from you.”
