Mars is Erykah's third child from her relationship with her ex and rapper Jay Electronica. According to B.E.T., Mars's parents are no longer together, but the two keep civil for the sake of their young daughter.

The news site reports that Jay Electronica had shared a video that had Drake's "Feel No Ways" as background music in a now-deleted post. Erykah viewed the post and got triggered.
