After the birth of his son Trey, he is often the target of "trolls" who write comments such as: "They will kill him on the street" or that he raises him and prepares him for prison.
"People's reactions are horrible and it's horrible to me because I know I'm not a bad mother and they call me all kinds of ugly names. "It's crazy," Shamekia said.

However, she says she "does not care" because it is a "way of life" that she enjoys.
"Judging someone based on a 30-second video on social media is up to you, but what you say or think about someone will not determine what they will be in the future," Morris added.

Shamekia, who has more than 319.000 followers on the social network "TickTock", insists that Trajlin "wants" temporary ink. It also has its own wardrobe that is filled with combinations of clothes for small children, as well as over 150 pairs of sneakers.
"A good mother is the one who is here for her children, who is their admirer and the person they come to with their problems," she concludes.
