While his identity is not confirmed, the alleged baby daddy is Rodney Ellis.
Key Takeaways
- Karlie Redd has kept the identity of her daughter Jasmine’s biological father a secret from the public.
- Love & Hip Hop’s wiki mentions Jasmine’s father as Rodney Ellis.
- While some obscure blogs mention that Jasmine’s father is allegedly the Chicago dr*g kingpin Nathan “Nate” Hill, his indictment documents include the name Rodney Ellis.
Karlie Redd is an American television personality, rapper, model, and actress best known for her role on VH1’s reality show “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.”
She has been a main cast member on the show since its premiere in 2012.
On the show, she has occasionally shared the spotlight with her daughter, Jasmine Ellis.
Jasmine, who started a family with her husband Tony Mike last year, was a rare but welcome sight on the show.
However, despite openly bonding with her daughter, Karlie Redd has kept Jasmine’s biological father’s identity a secret from the public.
According to Love & Hip Hop Wiki, Jasmine Ellis was born in New York City on August 30, 1994.
Jasmine’s dedicated bio mentions that she is the daughter of Karlie Redd (born Keisha Lewis) and Rodney Ellis.
However, this Rodney Ellis’s bio page does not include anything other than the fact that he is Jasmine’s father.
While not much is known about the enigmatic identity of Rodney Ellis, some curious sleuths have supposedly identified the baby daddy.
According to a blog post, Jasmine’s father is Nathan “Nate” Hill, a Chicago-based dr*g kingpin who operated in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
However, when looking at the court indictment documents regarding Nate Hill, a more familiar name pops up—Rodney Ellis.
According to the documents, Rodney Ellis was the cousin of dr*g lord Nate Hill and became involved in his coc*ine business in the 1990s.
The surname “Ellis” suggests that Rodney Ellis is the father of Jasmine Ellis, not Nate Hill.
It is possible that the creator of the blog post confused the two due to their familial relation.

In United States v. Ward and Ellis, Rodney Ellis was convicted for his involvement in laundering dr*g money for a large coc*ine distribution conspiracy led by his cousin, Nate Hill.
Ellis managed the financial activities of Hill’s business, Pocketown Records, and helped falsify records to justify cash flows.
He also filed a falsified tax return for Pocketown and transported large amounts of cash.
Ellis was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the IRS and money laundering and was sentenced to 108 months in prison.
However, it is important to note that no sources confirm that this is the same Rodney Ellis who is supposedly the father of Jasmine Ellis.
