Tyrese Gibson Faces Backlash Over Child Support Payments Amid Luxury Vacations

by
Tyrese Reveals Psych Meds Are Behind Public Meltdown

Actor and singer Tyrese Gibson has found himself embroiled in controversy as he battles against the $10,000-a-month child support payments awarded to his youngest child with his second wife, Samantha Lee. Despite being ordered to pay the full monthly amount, Tyrese has been sending less than half, sparking outrage and accusations of neglecting his parental responsibilities.

Recent reports from Radar Online shed light on the ongoing child support war between Tyrese and Samantha Lee, with Samantha claiming that Tyrese failed to pay the required amount in December 2023 and January 2024. The couple shares a 4-year-old daughter named Soraya, whose financial support has become a point of contention between the exes.

Court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal Tyrese’s attempt to defend his actions and dismiss Samantha’s efforts to hold him in contempt for non-payment. Tyrese admitted to not paying the full amount but insisted that his actions were not driven by malice. He cited a drastic drop in income since the child support order was issued as justification for his inability to meet the financial obligations.

However, what further fueled the controversy were Tyrese’s recent luxury vacations, which he defended as low-cost endeavors. In December, Tyrese shared photos on social media of himself celebrating his 45th birthday with his girlfriend, Zelie, in Dubai. He also posted images from a trip to Egypt around the same time.

In response to Samantha’s allegations, Tyrese’s lawyers argued that his holiday trips were not extravagant expenditures. They claimed that Tyrese had used frequent flyer miles to cover the cost of flights and stayed with a friend during his time abroad, minimizing the financial impact of the vacations.

Despite Tyrese’s attempts to justify his actions, a judge has yet to rule on the matter, leaving the child support dispute unresolved. The situation has reignited discussions about parental obligations, financial accountability, and the challenges of co-parenting in the spotlight.

Benzino Suggests Eminem Got Plastic Surgery: ‘He Looks Like a Walking Corpse’

Benzino Claims He Destroyed Eminem with "Rap Elvis" Single

Benzino has once again turned his attention toward Eminem. With the trailer for the “Doomsday Pt. 2” video out from Shady, Benzino criticized the legend’s face.

“Can someone tell me what in the plastic surgery happened to his face??” Benzino wrote. “He looks like a walking corpse. Nah…this ain’t it. RAP ELVIS DESTROYED @Eminem.”

Last month, appearing on The Art of Dialogue, Benzino claims he “destroyed” Eminem, referring to his “Rap Elvis” single.

“‘Rap Elvis’ already destroyed him,” Benzino said. “I already killed him with ‘Rap Elvis.’ Where’s he at? Where’s the response? I want to battle him face-to-face. I think he’s overrated and sucks as a rapper.”

A week before that, in the same Drink Champs episode where Benzino called out Eminem, he also cried and said he doesn’t hate Eminem.

In the opening part of Benzino’s episode, he is brazen in his opinion toward Slim Shady.

“F**k Eminem and fuck everybody down with Eminem,” Benzino opened. “My thing is, that n**a won’t face me. When we was in Puerto Rico I was with west with a gun on the dashboard and we caught Green Lantern outside the DJ convention. Don’t f**k around with me.

“We come from a whole different trenches. That n***a ain’t us.”

But once the liquor set in, Benzino had a softer response, even crying.

“I don’t hate Eminem. I don’t know him to hate him,” Benzino said. “I don’t hate white people tired of this shit, man. It’s just too much. I don’t want to be the bad guy.

“Eminem ain’t no bad person. He belongs in Hip Hop. It’s a big racist problem in America right now and Eminem could probably stop half of it.”

On the most recent episode of The OGs Podcast hosted by Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller, former NBA star John Wall revealed how he struggled with his mental health and even put a gun to his own head on two separate occasions.

Wall said that after the passing of his mother in 2019, the depth and severity of his struggles with mental health became so acute that he sought help at his lowest points.

The loss of his grandmother and a year-long recovery from surgery for a ruptured Achilles made Wall’s struggles even more difficult. Despite his challenges, Wall found motivation in his two sons, realizing that taking himself away from them would mean failing them. He was adamant about the significance of seeking help, especially for Black men, encouraging anyone struggling to reach out for support.

Today in Hip-Hop History: Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo Dropped Their Debut LP ‘Road to the Riches’ 35 Years Ago

On this day in 1989, Corona, Queens rap and street legend Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo released their first album on the quintessential yet now-defunct Hip-Hop label Cold Chillin’ Records.

As esteemed members of the world-famous, Queens-based Juice Crew, G. Rap and Polo dropped this project as one of the first full-length albums from the crew, only to succeed Big Daddy Kane’s Long Live The Kane and Biz Markie’s Goin’ Off albums. The Marley Marl-produced album is one of NYC’s crime rhyme holy grails, with tracks like “Road To The Riches” as a theme song for late 80s hustlers, but most of the album showcased G. Rap’s uncanny rapping ability. Tracks like “Men At Work,” “Poison,” and their premiere track “It’s A Demo” were proof three decades ago that G’s style would be pioneering in the rap game.

Salute to G. Rap, Polo, Marley, Fly Ty, and the rest of the Juice Crew and Cold Chillin’ staff for this critical piece of Hip Hop history!

Today in Hip Hop History: 2Pac Dropped His Third LP ‘Me Against The World’ 29 Years Ago

On this day in Hip-Hop History, the late Tupac Shakur released his third studio LP, Me Against the World. This album came at one of the most pivotal times in ‘Pac’s life and career. Recorded shortly after his near-fatal assassination attempt in New York and released while he was in prison, this album marked a change in 2Pac as an artist and a man.

This album was nothing like the music that gave him his “thug life” gangster image and street credentials. This project’s subject matter and tone were a lot more serious and introspective than anything he had previously released. Much less high energy than the tracks from his previous album, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…, this album showed genuine reflection on his life and career path as an artist, along with shining light on some of his struggles with paranoia and self-loathing.

The realism of this album brought a ridiculous amount of commercial success. Debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the album has been certified double platinum selling over 3.5 million copies in the United States alone. Along with being #1 in the US, the album also ranked #23 in Germany and #20 in Sweden. The year after its release, the album received the Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap Album. The project was Tupac’s most positively reviewed album and has been called the magnum opus of his career.

The singles from the project “Dear Mama,” “So Many Tears,” and “Temptations” all made appearances on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Dear Mama” peaked at #9, “So Many Tears” hit #44, and “Temptations” claimed the#68 spot.
