Pan-African activist Dr. Umar Johnson is facing public allegations from a woman named Anisa, who claims to be his 22-year-old daughter. The outspoken commentator is no stranger to drama, as he has been involved in several public controversies.
Dr. Umar’s commentary often includes remarks on race, sexuality, and society. He has publicly opposed interracial and same-sex marriages, stating that such unions are detrimental to the African community. These views have led to backlash and cancelations of his speaking engagements. According to Diverse Education, Anne Arundel Community College in Maryland previously disinvited him from a scheduled event after students raised concerns about his anti-gay rhetoric.
However, the focus now seems to be on Dr. Umar’s personal life. Anisa has taken to social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, accusing the educator of being an absentee father throughout her life. The feud has attracted significant attention on social media, with users expressing a range of opinions.
Dr. Umar Johnson’s daughter claims that he was a deadbeat father.
Dr. Umar’s daughter, Anisa, has made scathing claims about the commentator. She alleges that he missed significant milestones in her life, including birthdays and graduations.
“I’m 22 years old now. My dad has never been to anything important — no graduation, no birthday parties. Nothing. He has not been in my life,” Anisa said, adding, “Again, I am not making this video to bash him. I am making this video to state facts.”
Anisa went on to suggest she was reaching out to her dad because she was attempting to locate one of her siblings. Dr. Umar responded to these allegations by dismissing them as attempts to gain attention. He referred to Anisa's actions as "clout chasing," suggesting that she is seeking notoriety by associating herself with his name.
“Trying to build your streamers’ struggles off of my back? Coming up out of nowhere, acting like you been looking for me,” he wrote in a since-deleted post (per Yahoo). “Get mama smurf … I will have my white man paperwork. When can we do this sit-down?
Anisa accused Dr. Umar of abusing her mother.
The drama between Dr. Umar and his daughter, Anisa, worsened after his initial response. Anisa went on to accuse Dr. Umar of physically abusing her mother during their past relationship. She stated, "He put his [f**king] hands on her. What the [f**] is wrong with him? He should be in f**king jail."
Dr. Umar did not respond to the allegations directly. However, he went live on social media to encourage his followers to “pick a side” amid the family feud. “Don’t let the evil take us. If you with me, you with me,” he said. “If you ain’t, you ain’t. I’m not begging nobody … The only thing good coming out of this unfortunate situation is everybody gotta pick a side. Pick a side and stay on it. Please stay on your side. No more frenemies.”
