"She took bad information to heart. At one point I was providing her a half a million dollars a year with out any court being involved...I'm really only responsible for him and that is what she found out after I was taken to court. Her friend told her in New York state law you're entitled to 17% but that's up until $80,000...She looked at the Forbes and goes, 'You robbing me.'"

His income should only support his child not the mother of the child.I see this happen alot, mothers who want most of the income & not to benefit the child but for themselves. I think it's a very selfish act. In reality, unless the father of your child makes as much money as 50 cent does, us baby mothers don't see an amount anywhere close to that amount she is receiving in 6 years total less alone 1 year.

Child Support Law is the father has to give 17% of his income to his child, and she's the mother, she gets it. That's the law. She's the caregiver, she needs that money to provide for her child and the child deserves to be supported in the style that the father can afford.

I don't understand why women do not provide emotional support to each other. Yes, most mothers don't get that much but many get much more. It's all what the father can afford. Why would you want that woman to get less than he can afford. Come on, the man is worth a fortune, his child should want for nothing!

First of all, I don't know why anyone would want to have sex with 50 Cent for any other reason than money. Secondly, if the idiot chose not to use a condom and prevent his ex-girl from getting pregnant, then he deserves to be robbed. That's what he gets for being stupid. Something all too many rich Black rappers, singers, actors, athletes, etc. are. I guess you can take the boy out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the boy. LOL

Okay if it's not about the money (and we ALL know it is) let 50 have FULL custody of the child and let her pay the 17%. That is fair, right?

Child support is child support, it's not mother support...I don't care what he can afford or what he's worth it's only about the child and not a gold digger. Let's be real some women only have a child to get the gold at the end of the rainbow. I'm happy to see a Judge do a decent thing. Her greed got her less money, he was generous enough to give half a mill a year and she wanted more? come on, if that isn't a gold digger what is? What in the world was she doing with all that money? She still made out good better than most with $80,000 a year that's more than most working people with kids *Note* the 's' on kids. So she lost here gold and got silver. I'm sure that's better than what she came into this with, which was probably a bedroom at here mothers house...Go to school, get an education, get a job, make your own millions without anyones help, be an adult and most of all be a responsible parent...Fifty is!!!
