Skai Jackson is pushing back on rumors circulating about her child’s father, Deondre Burgin, also known as Yerky Yerky.
The actress took to her Instagram Stories this week after a post from X user TommyGoBrazy alleged that she “regrets” Burgin and claimed she admitted to sending him $10,000 a month while he is in prison.

In the post shared on X, the caption read, “Skai Jackson speaks on how she regrets her baby’s father (Yerky Yerky) and wishes she can go back in time and admits she still sends him $10k a month while he’s in prison,” followed by a quote that stated, “At the end of the day we share a kid and I want my son to have both parents in his life.”
Shortly after the post began circulating, Jackson responded in her Instagram Stories.
“I usually never speak on anything but Please don’t believe anything Tommygobrazy tweets and spreads it to the blogs,” she wrote. “Using my videos for a fake headline is not okay. This is now the 5th time and enough is enough.. Since this keeps continuing I will be getting my lawyer involved. I never said that, thank you!”
She added in a follow-up slide, “This is all this person does is create false headlines to go viral. Clearly he has nothing better to do. Please stop believing everything you see online! I would like to be left alone. Anyways, have a great day guys.”
The original X post also featured a brief video clip of Jackson speaking, along with added context from users noting that she had not made the statements referenced in the headline.
Jackson and Burgin welcomed their son, Kasai, in January 2025. In May 2025, she filed for a restraining order against Burgin, citing allegations of domestic abuse.
