Dad of Cash Me Ousside girl Danielle Bregoli, 14, reveals he’s terrified for her safety after she started hanging out with criminal rappers Kodak Black and NBA YoungBoy
THE DAD of Danielle "Cash Me Ousside" Bregoli has hit out at her new record deal with Atlantic Records - saying it is another example of the troubled 14-year-old being "exploited".
Ira Peskowitz also says he's "worried for her safety" now she is part of the hip hop world - and believes the teen should not be allowed to hang out with criminal rappers such as Kodak Black and NBA YoungBoy, who are also signed to Atlantic.
Danielle - who uses the rap name Bhad Bhabie - was reportedly signed to the label, the same record company that looks after Ed Sheeran, following the success of her first rap single "These Heaux".
The deal includes multiple albums and is worth millions, according to TMZ.
But Ira, a police officer, said he was not impressed with the new deal - particularly as it meant she would be spending more time with the label's other rappers, many of who have long criminal records.
Danielle is already on five years probation after pleading guilty to multiple charges including grand theft and possession of marijuana and should not be allowed to hang out with convicted felons.
Ira told Sun Online: "I don't care that she got a record deal with Atlantic - it's just another form of exploiting this child.
"But Atlantic Records also have Kodak Black and NBA Youngboy - who Danielle was introduced to by her management team - and Kodak Black is a convicted felon with a huge arrest sheet for various types of crimes - false imprisonment, guns, drugs, sexual crimes - and Danielle to this day spends time with him.
"I never knew when you are on probation that you are allowed to hang out with a convicted felon.
"Why would her mother let her hang out with him? There was a picture recently at a music event and Kodak Black had his arms around Danielle and she was with another rapper who had a criminal history.
"NBA Youngboy was arrested last year for a double drive-by shooting and they put Danielle in front of him too.
"Putting her in front of these people who are criminals - how is this in the best interests of a child?
"Her management don't seem to care about the best interests of Danielle."
Rapper Kodak Black - real name Dieuson Octave - has a long criminal record and has spent time in jail. He has been arrested on charges of sexual assault, robbery, battery, false imprisonment of a child, fleeing cops and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
Back in April he was accused of punching and kicking a woman in a strip club in Miami, Florida,
NBA YoungBoy - also known as YoungBoy Never Broke Again - was released from jail earlier this year after being charged with two counts of attempted murder for his role in a drive-by shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Ira says he is now concerned for his daughter's safety as she spends more time with people in the rap scene.
"Of course I am worried about her safety now she's in this world," he said
"The drugs are rife, the majority of these people carry firearms because everyone is afraid of retaliation.
"You know 50 Cent goes around wearing a bullet proof vest - it's not normal.
"That's the environment they are in.
"I have a Snapchat where she is at some kind of production meeting and she's grinding on an adult female while two men are in the room.
"There are other videos out there where she's doing the same kind of thing.
"That is not normal - it shouldn't be allowed.
"Her management know exactly what is going on and do nothing to stop it."
Danielle shot to stardom after she appeared on the Dr Phil Show in September 2016, in an episode that dealt with parents and their unruly teens.
She branded audience members laughing at her "whores" and blasted: "Cash me ousside, how bow dah?"
This became her signature catchphrase - and a meme which has gone all over the world.
Ira separated from Danielle's mum Barbara when she was a baby - and the pair are currently locked in a legal battle over custody of the youngster.
Danielle has lashed out at her father on social media accusing him of only wanting to be in her life because she is famous - which he strongly denies.
Ira says he always supported Danielle and her mother - despite Barbara's attempts to "alienate" him - and was trying to get the wayward teen professional help before her mum took her on Dr Phil without his knowledge.
He says he is now going to do all he can to get Danielle the help she needs and allow her to have a normal childhood.
"When you look at the comments about Danielle on articles about her people are disgusted," he said.
"But I bet her managers are glad that 100million people hate her because that means 100million people download her song just to watch in disgust.
"They don't care about the feelings of Danielle when she reads all these comments about her - they don't give a crap.
"People think she's 16 or 17 but she's not - she's only 14 years old.
"I want to feel proud of Danielle one day but while she's in this environment with these people there's nothing she's doing I can feel proud of.
"She still has many hours to do on her community service - she should come back down to Florida to her hometown of Boynton Beach and help all the people who have just gone through the hurricane.
"That would make me be proud.
"At the end of the day I'm just trying to protect Danielle - that's all I've ever tried to do."
