Yung Miami has been vocal about missing Jai Wiggins and the void he has left in their son's life. However, the duo had a rocky relationship a few years before Wiggins passed away.

According to The Blast, the Take Yo Man rapper had filed for a restraining order against Wiggins in 2015 owing to an alleged episode of domestic violence. Moreover, Jai Wiggins was also on the verge of being jailed in 2019 for violating the order of protection obtained by the rapper.

Instead of giving Wiggins jail time, the court had ordered him to complete a domestic violence batters' course along with an intervention program and parenting classes.
