While Briana, 28, has alleged that Devoin has been absent from daughter Nova’s life as of late, he revealed that he was present for her recent birthday celebration.
The former Teen Mom dad went on a scathing rant against the network and his baby mama after the fact.
He alleged that Briana arranged a meeting with his mother and father to discuss him and did not want him there.
The mom of two hit back, sharing her texts with his family online.
In the texts, Briana expressed concern for her daughter, whom she said was going through something, and alluded to Devoin’s absence.
She wrote: “Hey, I was wondering if we can film a meet up. Maybe dinner or something. Just us and my mother. No drama attached. Just really want to come up with a plan for the sake of Nova.
“I know dj is going thru some stuff right now but so is Nova and I’m trying my hardest to give Nova everything she needs to strive. Pls lmk if that’s cool.”
Devoin’s mother agreed, but then had questions about payment, saying: “Just know, I’ll do anything for you and Nova, but if MTV is benefitting from this, they need to pay.”

His father then chimed in, echoing that sentiment and suggesting that his son be included in the conversation.
“I agree with Charita is saying only thin I think DEVOIN needs to be there. I don’t want to talk about my son without him being there to see we all care about what’s going on with him, not bash him, so he can be clear about the care and love we have for him. I think that would be fair for him to listen to what is being said, which we already had sum conversations already,” he replied to Briana.
She did not seem to disagree, nor did she suggest it would be a problem with the network.
Briana even shared her conversation with Devoin, which included her asking him to meet up, with his parents.
Devoin, however, claimed in his rant that it was requested he not attend and these conversations happened behind his back.
DADDY DRAMA
Ahead of the text message release, Briana’s baby daddy took to his Instagram Stories to spill some “tea.”
He began: “So I attended novas bday party.. MTV there per usual. All of 2 seconds went by since I walked thru the door and I’m approached by ppl who I never met asking me to mic up.. like dude laxxxxxxx..”
In another slide, Devoin alleged: “Of course me being me. And after how they been doing me…I said uhhhhhh an! Not tn (meaning never bih) so the party goes on. Every one has a good time.. we all leave then..
“Briana hits my parents up to link up and discuss me? (I don’t think she ever hit them up in novas 11 years) also they requested me not being present and it’s going to be recorded so I know this is something cooked up by MTV.. not genuine.”
He continued: “So my father insists that I be present bc wtf ?! After that’s settled… They then can’t even agree to pay my parents a decent penny.. seeing that they done did several scenes for the freeeski..”
Devoin’s rant concluded with: “Like cmon mane.. don’t try n play with me. This is my real life. I’m good being kept off camera.. don’t try n record me when y’all 4 weeks into the season and HAVEN’T EVEN INTRODUCED ME TO MY PRODUCER like she’s producing a story that pertains to my life.. and I have never once sat down w the lady.. nice job MTV/Viacom/Paramount whoever the f**k.. You smokin hard.”
FANS REACT
While Briana seemed to think her posts were setting the record straight, fans accused her of trying to start more drama.
“At what point does she stop creating drama? This wasn’t even about her,” one critic commented.
Another wrote: “Why did she post this? He never said Briana was at fault. He said MTV did not offer to properly pay him & his parents. These text have nothing to do with the actual payment offer they received.”
“What was her point in posting this? Jad gonna start making posts next…,” a third hater critiqued.
Someone else chimed in: “I’m soooooo sick of Bri She’s full of drama and always wants to try and prove a point when she’s so full of it.”
BIRTHDAY BASH
Over the weekend, Devoin reappeared on social media for his daughter Nova’s 11th birthday after posting a worrying message.
The father of one seemed in good spirits in a video he shared to the platform from her birthday bash.
In one clip, the young dad showed his face to the camera before focusing on the pre-teen and her friend’s roller skating at a rink.
“These girls trying to follow my mom in a skate line,” Devoin explained while filming the party-goers make a conga line on the rink.
“They are nuts,” he added.
The Teen Mom 2 star shared more snippets from the party, including the guests singing “Happy Birthday” to Nova, who stood by her cake with her mother, Briana, and little sister, Stella.
The Teen Mom wrapped her arms around her firstborn and planted a kiss on her cheek as Devoin zoomed in on the sweet moment.
The room was decorated with red and black balloons and an intricate three-layer cake with candles for Nova to blow out.
Devoin also enjoyed himself on the rink as he filmed himself skating, commenting on the other attendees sitting off to the side.
“These people over here not doing nothing,” he remarked, directing the lens toward the waiting area.
The TV personality also shared a sweet family photo of him, Briana, 28, and Nova posing at the party.
The father-daughter duo was sporting roller skates while Briana appeared to stay off the rink.
CAUSING CONCERN
However, fans have been worried about the TV star as he’s posted numerous concerning posts online.
Earlier this year, Devoin expressed that he was “screaming for help” after admitting to a gambling problem.
