Chris Brown may be facing competition over his daughter Royalty as her stepfather has revealed a tattoo reportedly dedicated to the child and her mother, Nia Guzman.

In a photo reportedly posted on Instagram, Guzman's boyfriend Brazil Riesling aka King Ba can be seen handing Royalty a juice drink, exposing the tattoos on his upturned arm.

Nia's name appears to be written near King Ba's wrist with a crown, believed to be a reference to Royalty's name, positioned above.

Before the Loyal singer was confirmed as the father of the 10-month-old, King Ba believed Royalty was his daughter. After the paternity was revealed, King Ba reportedly wrote on Instagram: "Unbreakable Bond... You Will always Be In My Heart Precious From The FirstDay You Were Born...You Deserve This Whole World It's Yours...At Heart I'll Always Be Your Dada.

"Been a Dad Still a Dad... Minus All the Nonsense That Been Going On We Still Kick It."

Brown, 25, has fully embraced fatherhood so far and has been spending quality time with Royalty.

Having previously maintained silent on the baby rumours, the R&B hitmaker addressed the reports for the first time earlier in April by sharing photos of the child on his Instagram account.

Furious 7 actor Tyrese and Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx recently claimed that fatherhood has "changed" the singer for the better.

God has blessed me with my twin. #ROYALTY

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, Foxx said: "I hope he doesn't mind me saying this, I just saw Chris Brown with his little daughter backstage [and] it was absolutely mind-blowing."

In March, TMZ reported that Brown had asked Guzman to move from Texas to Los Angeles so he could be a proper father to Royalty. The Turn Up The Music singer is said to have offered to pay for housing and a source added that he and Guzman are in "negotiations" over custody.
