Ayesha Howard, also known as the popular online pseudonym Little Ms. Golden6, is making headlines all over again—this time, not for her celebrity co-parents, but for striking out into the business world. Based in Atlanta and a mother of two herself, the influencer opened up shop with her own trucking business, making waves all over social media with talk of independence, ambition, and reinvention.
Ayesha Howard’s name has circulated around the news for years, as she’s been linked to hip-hop artist Lil Baby, with whom she had a son, and with Anthony Edwards, the father of her daughter. Now, Howard takes the reins quite literally and figuratively as she steers the direction toward business, opening the year 2025 with a venture that’s sparking both acclaim and criticism on social media.
Atlanta, Georgia, born and raised, Howard has become a name unto herself, outside of being a celebrity. With glamorous selfies, chic ensembles, and real talk on motherhood, she’s built a crowd of almost 629,000 on Instagram as Little Ms. Golden6. She’s been all influencer, over the years, branching into the realm of brand collaborations, music, and now—trucking.
Howard’s public existence has always been filled with personal intrigue and media rumors. Her son Jason’s father is Grammy-nominated artist Lil Baby, and daughter Aubri Summers Howard finds herself in the midst of a legal battle with guard Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although Howard maintains paternity had already been determined, Edwards sought a DNA test and challenged the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy, including leaked messages purportedly in which he encouraged canceling the pregnancy.
This contentious legal battle has only added fuel on social media as other people accuse Howard of exploiting her children for money. But despite all the uproar, she’s still active on social media, posting moments from around herself and still working on the pursuit of business goals.
Howard is entering the trucking business. A photo that surfaced on the internet featured a box truck, which is a commercial vehicle but much smaller than the typical 18-wheeler, and caused immediate speculation. Although the full details on the business remain vague, including what it will be called and how extensive the operations will be, Howard seems intent on making the move.
But the reaction hasn’t been one-sided. Some have rallied around the entrepreneur, applauding her work ethic and drive to create for herself.
“Always a good lesson for the kids: she’s what it takes to work hard and make it on your own,” one tweeted
“She’s doing what a lot of people wouldn’t be brave enough to do,” another user wrote. “Everyone’s always saying they want to create generational wealth. This is what that can look like.”
Nevertheless, the gesture indicates Howard’s assertion that she will be building a different story—one in which she’s not a “baby mama” but rather a businesswoman attempting to build a viable business for her family.
A great deal of the public response to Howard’s trucking business is caught up in the paternity dispute with Edwards. The court case sparked broader conversations online over being a parent, responsibility, and what success as a parent looks like for women tied to celebrity men.
Although some people on social media accuse Howard of being “chasing checks,” others recognize her asserting herself into power—at a time when women and solo mothers are still harshly criticized.
