Laura Prudom: 'American Idol' Finale: The Final Two Perform
"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.'"

The thing that bothers me the most, is everytime something goes wrong on this earth the white man is blame.
The white man has nothing to do with you taking care of your children. He wasn't there when you were having fun making them. If you step up to the plate and do your part in taking care of your children,we wouldn't have to invovle any race in the matter.
And this is just not for men only, but women as well.

50 cent is only worth 25 cent if he does not support his child. He does not owe the girlfriend any extra money. She made the choice to have the child. A lot of woman see this as a way of getting money that they didn't work for, and the child is just the means to an end.

He was giving her half a million dollars a year? She could be out there ejamacatin' herself or starting a business so she can become INDEPENDENT. Sometimes I am not crazy about 50 but sounds like he is not at fault here somer white attorneys got a hold of this young lady and are twistin' her head around with a whole lot of B.S. half a mil is more than sufficient to provide a decent lifestyle for a child.
