Mos Def Might Have To Send Tour Money To His Child’s Mother

by

Mos Def is gearing up for a sizeable tour this summer alongside R&B legend Erykah Badu. Unfortunately for Mos Def, he might not get to see any of the profits from their shows together. According to court papers obtained by The New York Post, the money from the tour may have to go to artist Karima Sorel. Sorel and Mos Def have a child together and he reportedly owes over $88,000 in child support.

Sorel is allegedly suing various companies associated with the tour including Ticketmaster and Live Nation in an attempt to get the money she’s owed paid out from the tour. This isn’t the first time the pair have had issues as it related to child support payments. A few years ago a court ruling forced Mos Def to cover Sorel’s attorney fees when it came to light that he consistently failed to pay child support. That precedent may loom large over future court proceedings involving the two.

Mos Def and Erykah Badu’s tour kicks off in Texas on June 11th. The pair will tour for a month and a half before returning to Texas to close the tour in July. Mos Def most recently released new music alongside longtime collaborator Talib Kweli as Black Star with last year’s No Fear Of Time. The album was released exclusively to the podcast network Luminary which left many fans unable to hear it. To promote the album the pair played two of the songs from it live on Saturday Night Live.

Fittingly, another place you can hear from Mos Def this summer is on a different podcast network, Audible. A few months ago the platform announced a Hip Hop 50th anniversary series coming this summer. Alongside Mos Def the project also seeks to celebrate the contributions made to rap music by artists like Snoop Dogg and Lil Kim. Tell us your thoughts on Mos Def’s upcoming summer tour in the comments below.

Bre Tiesi Reveals Nick Cannon May Not Pay Child Support Due To Abundance Of Offspring

by

It’s been several months since Nick Cannon hit us with yet another baby announcement, which is likely a good thing considering he recently admitted to getting the Mother’s Day cards of his six baby mamas mixed up when delivering them. While he and Abby De La Rosa appear to have a strong relationship thanks to their on-air work together, other co-parents, like LaNisha Cole, have had less pleasurable experiences. Another of Cannon’s partners, Bre Tiesi, also seems to have some beef with the multi-talent, which she markedly expressed on Netflix’s Selling Sunset.

The model was speaking with co-star Amanza Smith during the recently released sixth season of the hit reality series when she revealed that he might not have to pay child support. “The way it works is like, after 10, the court can basically say he can’t afford [it],” Tiesi alleged. However, she did note that because of his mass wealth, the “rule” may not apply to Cannon, much to her benefit. “Because he is who he is, they could say, ‘We know you can afford X amount for each household,” the mother of one dished.

Nick Cannon’s Child Support Comes Up on Selling Sunset

While Tiesi sounded sure in her claims, legal experts in California are disputing her. “For those supporting multiple children, these payments could completely take over their income, so the state ensures that non-custodial parents still support their children without breaking the bank,” the Paula D. Kleinman law corporation revealed, as per Page Six. In addition to this, Bre’s own attorney, Neama Rahmani also spoke out against her, declaring that “California law does not limit child support payments based on the number of children a parent has.”

“Child support payments are based on a number of factors, including the parents’ income, the cost of child care, and the amount of time the child spends with each parent.  It does not consider the number of children a parent has, so it doesn’t matter whether Nick or any other father has one child or twelveDo you think it would be fair for Nick Cannon to skip out on paying child support for his kids?

Ari Fletcher Explains Reluctance To Legally Marry Moneybagg Yo: “If He’s On Child Support, I Am Too!”

by

Ari Fletcher and Moneybagg Yo have a relationship that few understand. Over the past few years, we’ve seen the pair go their separate ways on more than one occasion, though fate seems to constantly pull them back together. In the past, the social media starlet has expressed interest in having a child with her rapper beau. However, in the latest episode of her #DinnerWithTheDon YouTube series, Fletcher made it abundantly clear that marriage is something she’s more reluctant about, mostly due to the potential of having to pay child support to Bagg’s baby mamas.

“I wanna get proposed to, I wanna have a wedding,” the mother of one explained to special guest Queen Naija and her other friends on-camera. “I want to be married, but without the paper,” Fletcher added before the R&B suggested that she get married in a spiritual ceremony. “God forbid, something’s going on, and you’ve got my money,” Moneybagg’s partner said while working away in the kitchen.

Ari Fletcher isn’t Interested in Paying Moneybagg Yo’s Child Support

Clearly, Ari has done a lot of thinking about the logistics that could come with marrying the Southern superstar. “This n*gga got eight kids, so you know, his baby mamas could come after me! If they put him on child support, I’m on child support too,” the 27-year-old ranted. A clip from the new episode is circulating across various blogs this afternoon, with many Instagram users praising Fletcher for thinking about such things.

“She’s not wrong because it does happen. She’s thinking about her money and the welfare of her child. I can dig it,” one person wrote in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments. “She is a realist. Look at Mary J. Blige. She just knew that was her soul mate and look how he and his kids ended up coming for everything she worked for,” another added, referencing a cautionary tale from the past.

Roddy Ricch Ordered To Pay $24K In Child Support Amid Drug Abuse Claims

by

Recently, some damning reports came out claiming that Roddy Ricch engaged in substance abuse that led to concerns from his baby mama. Moreover, Alexandra Kiser filed for custody of their three-year-old son Kadence and claimed he’s addicted to lean and gang-affiliated. In addition, she sought to make the rapper pay child support and accused him of being an absentee father. Now, court documents obtained by Radar Online indicate that the court ordered Roddy pay her a lump sum payment of $24,000 in child support as a temporary settlement to their legal battle.

“Rodrick Moore is gang-affiliated,” Kiser filed in court, referring to Roddy Ricch by his government name. “He has been arrested on a gun charge, domestic violence and regularly indulges in promethazine use. All of which are concerns for myself and our son. (He) is a very successful and highly paid entertainer who goes by the name of Roddy Ricch. He has a net worth of approximately $25,000,000 [and] commands fees of $500,000 for appearances. Since his birth, I alone, spend 98% of the time with him while Rodrick lives his life without any regard to his parental obligation or responsibility to spend time with Kadence. Recently, he moved into the gated compound where he has leased the house where our son and I currently live and has only spent three full days with Kadence thus far and that has been since January/early February.

Roddy Ricch To Begin Settling Custody Case With $24K Child Support Payment

“He now asks if I could move out by this May or if he’ll give me a six-month extension to move after I expressed to him that I felt uncomfortable about the way he moved into our gated community, just mere houses from us, and then tried to keep it a secret,” she continued. Furthermore, she continued to blast Roddy Ricch on social media. “Imma clear this up real quick cause some of these facts ain’t right,” she posted on Instagram. “I don’t live in this man house. 2, y’all try taking care of an autistic child yourself and lmk how much therapy & everything costs. Meanwhile your bd doing everything else & don’t even know what kind of therapist his son even sees. He spends $20k in the club on a light night. Please.”

If the “Twin” MC reaches an agreement with Kiser before their court date of mid-August, the court may cancel it altogether. Not only that, but the $24K could also count as credit towards potentially owed previous child support payments. Also, that money covers the $8K a month child support payments in April, May, and June of 2023. The former couple agreed to attend a “voluntary settlement conference” with their attorney to forego court and put a compromise in writing.

According to the reports, Rich will receive credits for future payments for these payments. Kiser accused Rich, whose real name is Rodrick Moore, of drug use and not taking care of their child.

Kiser said, “Rodrick Moore is gang affiliated. He has been arrested on a gun charge, domestic violence and regularly indulges in promethazine use all of which are concerns for myself and our son.” 

A hearing was scheduled in the custody battle for May 23, but both parties postponed it until August 15. Moore and Kiser will be reportedly attending a voluntary settlement conference to handle their issues without a judge.

Antonio Brown Settles Child Support Debt After Arrest Warrant

by

Antonio Brown was very quick to respond to his arrest warrant for child support debt to his baby mama. Moreover, the football and music star posted a picture of his payment to his Instagram Story just hours after that story initially broke. As such, it appears as though this legal issue might be resolved more quickly than many fans probably expected. After all, Brown faced a lot of controversy over the past few years, whether it’s in a professional, legal, or social sense. However, he still faces other roadblocks in the legal system than don’t necessarily paint this as a swift victory for him.

For example, Antonio Brown recently got into an altercation with security during an Albany Empire game for the National Arena League. Apparently, he went onto the field and guards promptly asked him to exit the premises. In some social media clips that went around, Brown argued with officials and told them to “make [him] get off.” Still, as he walked off the game, he made time to say hello to fans on the sidelines and greet those eager for a look at the former Steelers receiver.

Antonio Brown Swiftly Settles Child Support Debt, Evading Arrest

Regardless of his other troubles, this baby mama drama could’ve landed him in some really hot water. In fact, his quick payment is probably a sing of just how much pressure he faced from legal authorities, recognizing this wasn’t the type of headline to simply brush off or let pass over. One instance that Brown seemingly hasn’t responded to is a $1.1 million lawsuit from Shuki International, a celebrity jeweler that claimed he owes him money for a jewelry collection he never paid for.

Meanwhile, the NFL talent recently reflected on his infamous last game in the league, during which he simply walked off the sidelines. According to Brown, a lot of factors played into his frustrated and shocking decision. Some of these are disagreements with Tom Brady and coaches dismissing an injury he had during the game. Maybe we’ll never know the full story, but we’ll certainly be hearing more from this controversial figure in culture. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Antonio Brown.

Nick Cannon’s Baby Mamas Don’t Get A “Monthly Allowance,” He Says

by

It’s been a few months now since Nick Cannon welcomed a new child into the world. Still, the dozen offspring he has fathered over the years remains a hot topic in the media. He’s usually bombarded with “jokes” about considering a vasectomy. Thankfully, the entertainer has become an expert at clapping back at haters, as well as answering questions about his unique blended family. Most recently, the man of the hour sat down with Hot 104.1. At the time, he revealed how he financially provides for the various women in his life.

Cannon initially described himself as a “provider” for his children’s mothers. He immediately clarified that no “monthly allowance” or “set amount” is given out to each of the six women. “I don’t give myself that [guideline],” the rapper explained. “What they need, they get it.” According to him, there’s never been a request made by one of his baby mamas that “they didn’t receive.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Cannon spoke about how he manages to balance his schedule with so many different personalities surrounding him. “Everybody has their challenges – but when you really understand this woman has given the greatest sacrifice and sacrificed her body to bring a child into [this world], that’s the best gift any man could ask for,” the 42-year-old told Hot 104.1. “Regardless of what goes on in any scenario… I’ll never say anything disrespectful or bad about any of the mothers of my children.”

Other recent headlines prove Nick Cannon’s comments to be true, as he was gushing about having posters of Mariah Carey on his walls as a teenager not to long ago. The musical couple were married from 2008 to 2016, and share twins – Moroccan and Monroe – the oldest of his 12.

DJ Mustard To Pay $18K To Ex-Wife In Child Support After She Asks For $80K A Month

by

Mustard reached an agreement with his ex-wife Chanel Thierry in child support after she asked for $80K a month. According to Radar Online, the producer will pay $18,342 in temporary child support, which begins this February. The couple informed the court of their decision on Jan. 31st.

Mustard and Chanel share three children together, Kiylan, Kauner and Kody. Though the 32-year-old producer began dating Thierry since they were 19 years old, they got engaged in 2018 before tying the knot in 2020. Last May, Mustard revealed he and Chanel filed for divorce.

Chanel’s initially asked the court for $80K a month in child support. She told the court that there’s a prenup in place that requires Mustard to pay an additional $35K in spousal support. On top of that, she wants Mustard to cough up $40K to cover her legal fees.

Though Mustard undoubtedly secured a win when the judge ruled that he should be $18,342 monthly to Thierry, she might have her way in the future. The temporary child support payments should hold her over until their next child support hearing. The couple told the court they agreed to postpone the hearing to another day.

Thierry said $80K a month is reasonable for child support, especially after a “forensic evaluation” of Mustard’s finances. Her attorneys reviewed Mustard’s earnings and determined he raked in $10M in 2020. Her sworn declaration states “is a successful American Record Producer who makes an extraordinarily high living wage.” Additionally, it states Mustard “has more than enough income to pay for both his and my attorney fees.”

Mustard and Thierry’s divorce spilled into the public eye on more than one occasion. Last year, Thierry called out Mustard on Instagram for not paying any child support. “These men be so bitter after they leave. How u mad at me for stepping after you left me,” Thierry wrote on Instagram in November. “Not paying me child support or alimony to purposefully spite me. After I already signed a prenup.”

Blac Chyna Is Getting Roasted For Her Claims That Tyga And Rob Kardashian Don’t Pay Child Support

While there are plenty of deadbeat dads in the world, Tyga isn’t one of them — and neither is Rob Kardashian — even if Blac Chyna wants the world to think so. Chyna is the mother of children with both men, and set out to imply that due to a lack of child support, she’s had to sell off some of her own belongings to make ends meet. “Yesterday I had to give up 3 of my cars …my reasons… morals, beliefs, being a single mother, no support I’m a MAMA,” she wrote on Twitter, adding: “Single no support child support.” Chyna shares a nine-year-old son King Cairo with Tya, and five-year-old daughter, Dream, with Rob.

The problem is, both men are the primary caretakers of their respective children, and clothe, house and feed the children very close to full-time. Both Tyga and Rob also responded to Chyna’s posts by sharing exactly how much they pay to send their kids to private schools — and the number is in the high $40K range annually for both kids (That means these pre-teens are getting an education that costs as much as my college tuition, but I digress…).

Tyga responded too: “I pay 40K a year for my son’s school & he lives w me Mon-Sat,” Tyga wrote in an Instagram comment responding to stories about Chyna’s tweets. “Why would I pay child support lol

Rob responded too: “I pay 37K a year for my daughter’s school. I handle every single medical expense. I pay for all her extracurricular activities. I have my daughter from Tuesday-Saturday. Why would I pay child support lol.”

Since both Tyga and Rob spoke out vehemently against Chyna’s accusations, you know the internet decided to get involved and plenty of people are sharing their own opinions on the subject. Is the internet, once more, roasting Blac Chyna? Well, yes. But especially in this case, some of the teasing feels pretty justified. Check out some thoughts on the matter below.

And, in closing, here’s Blac Chyna’s take on “slapgate” at the Oscars:
