For those that have been hankering for new music by Kevin McCall, you're going to have to wait a little while longer. The troubled artist has faced a few heavy obstacles as of late. The last year has proven to be a difficult one for Kevin McCall, more personally than professionally. He's been entangled in multiple legal dramas involving domestic violence, assault, and trespassing allegations.
McCall's legal issues with ex-girlfriend Eva Marcille has taken center stage as he has sued the Real Housewives of Atlanta star for custody of their daughter. She claims he also petitioned for her to not only turn over custody but to pay him child support, as well. After McCall was involved in a physical altercation with a court officer while on his way to a custody hearing, he was arrested and his case was dismissed. Eva would later admit that McCall hasn't been involved in their daughter Marley Rae's life for years and she recognizes Eva's husband Michael Sterling as her father.
This doesn't mean that McCall is giving up on seeing his daughter, even though Eva has stated that there is a restraining order in place against him. McCall took to Twitter that he's on a music strike as he refuses to share his artistry with the world until changes are put in place. "No new music until I see my children. I cant choose the world over them," the singer-songwriter wrote. It also seemed as if he took a jab at Eva without naming her outright, but that's just speculative. "I'll figure out music when I have visitation with police around to protect us from the lies and abuse the mothers have put us thru the past 6 years...I've won this fight with my oldest. I'll win again. JESUS." Check out his tweet below.
Eva Marcille’s Daughter "Has No Idea" About "Crazy Ex" Kevin McCall
Eva Marcille and Kevin McCall were entangled in a legal battle over their six-year-old daughter Marley Rae before a judge threw his case out.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard any news about Kevin McCall‘s legal troubles. Years ago, the singer-songwriter seemed to be at the top of his game as he worked with some major players in the music industry, but recently his arrests have overshadowed his accomplishments. McCall has been estranged from his daughter Marley Rae whom he shares with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Eva Marcille, and according to the model, her ex has never been in their daughter’s life.

Eva has openly spoken out about her relationship with McCall and the alleged physical abuse she endured while they were together. She had Marley’s last name changed to that of her husband Michael Sterling, a move that unsurprisingly displeased Kevin. On Thursday (February 27), Eva visited The Wendy Williams Show and talked about her ex.
“Marley doesn’t even know,” Eva admitted. “Marley has no idea… She just turned six and she’ll know at some point, but that’s my baby and that’s Mike’s baby and that’s our first kid. He raised her.” Wendy added that Eva’s husband is currently going through the legal process to formally adopt Marley as his own.
“We legally changed her name this past year. We went through a lot to do it,” Eva added. “The name change isn’t legal, so now we have to go through the adoption process and I mean, [Kevin] is making it a little bit easier for us, acting all crazy in the public. I knew it behind closed doors.” Eva explained that Kevin—or “Marley’s donor,” as she calls him—filed a lawsuit against her for custody of Marley, child support, and to change Marley’s last name back to McCall.
“He went to court to see the judge and [acted] a whole fool and fought a sheriff deputy, [tumbled] down an escalator…broke the man’s glasses,” Eva said of Kevin’s recent arrest. “He has three felony counts against him right now in Georgia and the judge threw out our case with prejudice so he cannot try to get custody of [Marley] again.” Watch Eva Marcille’s interview with The Wendy Williams Show below.
