Madamnoire adds that the relationship was very toxic, and Brandel admitted to physically assaulting his daughter's mother.

When Zion was 13, however, Shouse reportedly filed a lawsuit against Fantasia requesting full custody of their daughter. Before this request, he had been absent from their lives and had contributed nothing to his child's upbringing.

Being a single mom was quite difficult for the R & B singer, but she was able to summon enough courage to participate in the “American Idol” Season 3.

The high school graduate was only three years old when her mother auditioned for and won the “American Idol,” Barrino herself was just 19 years old. They have since grown together even though Zion is not in the spotlight like many other celebrity children.

Another Madamnoire article recalls that Fantasia's daughter however, made a cameo appearance as a younger version of her mom in her 2017 "When I Met You" music video.

On Zion's 18th birthday as reported by Madamnoire, the 2004 “American Idol” winner chose to go down memory lane, remembering the birth of her baby girl.

She also admitted that her daughter arrived earlier than her due date because she had heard all her cries and felt she needed to come out to protect her from all the heartache. Acknowledging that her child is still protective, she said, "Still to this day you go hard for Mommy."
