\u201cAs a single mom to a special-needs child, this feels like a nightmare. My heart is broken into a million pieces,\u201d Adams\u00a0said in a statement to News12 New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am devastated, angry and struggling to come to terms with the fact that my only child has suffered severe injuries due to willful negligence of our landlord and others involved In failing to take necessary safety measures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flo Rida, who is best known for hit songs including \u201cLow\u201d and \u201cRight Round,\u201d has not publicly addressed the accident.<\/p>\n

Neither his attorney nor his managers responded to Page Six\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Adams previously said the 43-year-old Grammy nominee, whose real name is Tramar Lacel Dillard, has\u00a0had no involvement in Zohar\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlo Rida has only seen his son once during the paternity test [in December 2016] but kept his shades on and his back turned,\u201d she\u00a0claimed to the Daily Mail\u00a0in May 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were in the same room. He didn\u2019t try to hug Zohar, nothing. It was very cold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since his birth in September 2016, Zohar has struggled with hydrocephalus, which is \u201ccaused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within cavities of the brain called ventricles, resulting in pressure on the brain,\u201d\u00a0according to the Hydrocephalus Association.<\/p>\n

There is no known cure for the condition, which affects over 1 million Americans.<\/p>\n
