"One thing I'm sick of having to explain is why I have eight baby daddies," Phi began.

"So I'll explain this one time for y'all, so there won't be any more questions.

''Let me explain it. If you have one and you take away one, you have zero. But if you have eight and you take away three, you still have five.''

She added in the caption: "Like duhhhh y'all gotta do the math…"

A few people were confused in the comments, but Phi clarified: ''If I only had 1 baby daddy and he leave or die my kids would be fatherless, butttt if I have 8 and 3 were to leave or die my kids still have 5 dads."

Others had lots of questions, with many keen to know if she gets on with all of the dads still.

Responding to confused viewers, Phi joked: ''I wanna have like another 19, just so I could make it even, 30.''

The mum also explained joked about where she met previous matches, saying she previously used Craigslist.

''But that's kinda played out now so I usually just like post on Marketplace... or if I see like an empty billboard, I'll post an add up there. Nothing too extreme, you know," she said.

Other followers were way more supportive of Phi, with many sharing their own experiences.

While another said: "The comment section is disappointing, get it girl. Some men have 12 baby mommas, who cares. They’re beautiful kids."

And a third added: "I got 8 children. I feel u girl...ur children are beautiful and look well kept and happy... salute queen."
