Dacoda Nichole Speaks Out, Shares Photos of Alleged Abuse

Speculation about Rashee Rice began after Dacoda Nichole shared photos on Instagram showing her with multiple bruises and injuries. In one photo, she shows screenshots of her swollen and bloody lips. In other photos, she shows bruises on her arms and legs, as well as scratches on her face. She also posted images of a house that appeared destroyed. In a lengthy caption, Dacoda told her followers that she was tired of remaining silent to protect “her” image.

“HOUSEHOLD AWARENESS WARNING‼️ I’m so tired of keeping quiet, I’m so tired of protecting his image. I’ve been through too much in 8 years and I’ve had ENOUGH! I was abused for years, me and this man decided to break up a few months ago and it’s been nothing but hell ever since…”

Additionally, she said she was a victim of abuse during the eight years of her relationship. She also accused the unnamed partner of assaulting her while she was pregnant and recalled being left alone in Kansas with her children at one point.

“He literally left us in Kansas and I had to beg him to send me money so I could drive to Texas with my kids and all our stuff. We have an agreement because of everything he put me through and he still isn’t honoring it,” Dacoda continued.
