BHAD Bhabie's dad believes the teen was groomed to become an X-rated star by people around her, The Sun can reveal.
And Ira Peskowitz, 54, also questions the rapper's – real name Danielle Bregoli – claim that she made $50 million in one year since opening her OnlyFans site six days after her 18th birthday.
Bhad Bhabie's content is private only to subscribers but her home page tries to lure in new customers with phrases such as "19 but still a bhabie", "Who want more topless" and "about to take it all off".
Now her estranged dad Ira says he believes his daughter was groomed by those around her after she shot to fame as a viral star.
He said: "Was she groomed? Absolutely. With the way she dressed, the way she acted, everything was sex related and encouraged by people around her.
"Who in their right mind thinks 'Ah she's just turned 18 so now it's time to make money on OnlyFans', you don't think of that in a few days there must have been some preparation when she was under 18.

"It's not normal to pay to see a barely legal girl explicitly. The sad thing is they treat her like a product. Everyone around her just wants her to make money.
"She doesn't rap anymore, she doesn't sing, she doesn't go on tour.
"She sits in her house and she does her OnlyFans. I don't know how many hours a day they are telling her to do it but to make that kind of money must be time consuming. I know there's a leaked video of her with a bunch of girls doing sexual things.
'IT WAS PLANNED'
"You don't just come with an idea like that and all of a sudden generate that amount of people and that amount of money, you have to prepare, it is pre planned."
The Florida native shot to fame on an episode of Dr Phil in 2016, aged 13, after being brought on the show by mom Barbara Ann who was struggling to keep the unruly teen under control.
While her life was laid bare on camera, Danielle became annoyed at the audience members who were laughing at her.
Turning to threats, Danielle asked the audience: "Catch me outside, how about that?"
But, because of her accent, it sounded a lot more like: "Cash me ousside, how bow dah?"
MAKING MILLIONS
The slogan went viral and Danielle was soon signed up by management agencies and given a record deal.
On Monday, the rapper shared a screenshot of her OnlyFans account listing her monthly earnings from the first year of her account, stating her total gross income was a huge $53m and the net income $42.3m.
She posted the screenshot on Instagram with the comment: "Go cry about it b***h."
Ira is dubious of the claims, which he believes may be over-inflated.
Ira said: "I do believe she is making a decent amount of money for sure, but I never believe the amount people say – in my opinion it's bloated. I believe $50 million is very far fetched.
"But if they are making $50 million why the hell are they bragging about it? I hope they are paying taxes because that's a sure fire way of getting the attention of the IRS.
'PORN SELLS'
"I know porn sells and I get that but OnlyFans takes a huge cut of that, then there's her managers, then there's the people they pay to make the sets like hair stylists, make up and then the other girls who appear.
"It's upsetting to me because she's young how long is she going to do this for? Is she going to become a porn star or is she going to on the billboards as feature at the strip club?
"I don't want to know what goes on on the site, she's my daughter. But I'm sure that people will only pay to look at a naked girl for so long. There has to be something more and more enticing for people to pay continuously."
Ira said he wanted to make it clear that despite everything he still loves Danielle and hopes one day they can have a relationship.
He says he felt forced to give up parental rights to Danielle after years of alleged animosity between him and Danielle's mum Barbara – but says he always fought to have his daughter in his life.
Ira said he is also pleased that she has left home and has now bought a property near him in Florida.
He said: "I would like to say what I have always stated. That I still love Danielle and I never abandoned her.
"I would love the opportunity to have a sit down with her and discuss her concerns and reveal my side of the truth.
'EVERY DAUGHTER NEEDS HER DADDY'
"Even though I was forced to give up my parental rights, I’m still her biological father and every daughter needs her daddy.
"It breaks my heart when I watch some of her IG videos and how she questions me about what I have done wrong in her eyes but not allowing me to answer.
"It is comforting to know that I am close enough to Danielle if she truly needs me in an emergency or if she wants to start a relationship with me and her two brothers who ask about her regularly.
"Even if she doesn’t want anything to do with me, Danielle can still have a relationship with her siblings. Family is such an important structure in a person’s life."
Speaking directly to Danielle, Ira said: "Once again, Danielle, I will always be your father, and like it or not you, will always be daddy’s little girl.
"I love you and hope that one day soon we will be able to sit down and talk like adults to renew our relationship."
The Sun reached out to previous and current managers, Danielle and her mother for comment.
