The Kansas City Chiefs‘ top wide receiver, Rashee Rice, has no doubt shown that he is a more than capable WR1 option in the NFL when healthy and on the field.
However, since entering the league in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft, the SMU product’s career has been blighted by off-the-field issues. Most notably, his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash that saw him suspended for the first six games of the season.
And now, it seems like there could be yet another Rice-related issue heading the Chiefs’ way, as his ex girlfriend, Dacoda Nichole, has accused him of domestic abuse in an Instagram post on January 7th.

Ex-Girlfriend Alleges Physical Abuse By Rashee Rice
Nichole – who has two sons by Rice – shared pictures of bruising and injury in and around her body, including lips, face and legs, in addition to a long, detailed caption.
“DOMESTIC AWARENESS WARNING‼️” Nichole posted in the Instagram caption.
The pair had been together since getting together at SMU, before Nichole claims Rice decided to break up with her “a couple months ago”.
“I’m so tired of keeping quiet I’m so tired of protecting his image. I’ve been through too much in a span of 8 years and I’ve had ENOUGH!” Nichole continued. “I’ve dealt with abuse for years, me and this man decided to break up a couple months ago and since then it’s been nothing but hell.”
Nichole alleges that his abuse towards her even continued during times when she was pregnant.
“He’s very controlling there’s been times he’s came to my new home broken my door, there’s been times when he would put his hands on me while I was pregnant even had the audacity to lock me outside all night in ten degree weather because he got caught cheating. He’s cut up all my shoes and clothes leaving me with nothing because he’s gotten caught up.”
Rice Accused Of Cheating By Ex-Girlfriend
Nichole also claimed that Rice had been unfaithful to her during their time together, and does not spend time with his two sons.
“And there’s multiple instances of cheating but besides that I’m just tired of him not doing right by my boys.” Nichole wrote. “It’s not fair he doesn’t call them. He rather be layed up with hoes. He literally left us in Kansas and I had to beg him to send money so that I could drive to Texas with my kids and all our stuff. We have an agreement because of everything he’s put me through and he still doesn’t follow it.”
“He’s now trying to remove me and my kids from our home for no apparent reason. I’ve known this man for YEARS. He tries to put on this persona like he’s dad of the year. He does the bare minimum and I have to beg for that. I’ve protected his image too long and I’m done doing that. It’s time to protect my peace, protect my children and stand up for myself”.
