"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.'"

I think the half a million a year was good enough. Obiviously she's being greedy, that's what's wrong with women today, they don't appreciate when a man puts forth effort to help with his child or children. As for myself, I receive child support for my daughter and it's not enough but I'm thankful for the little I do get. I get updates on my daughter's raises every so often and I'm asked by child support agency if I a raise, like I said, I'm thankful for what I get. It doesn't pay to be greedy, just be thankful and God will see that you and your child/children will eat the good of the land but remember, we must be willing and obedient to Him! In Jesus Name, Amen

What a stupid, I mean stupid "Road Runner Whore" I have never received a penny on a 99 cent to make a dollar from either one of my son's Father's. Here this man taking care of his child, and you want more. Hey girl you should of handle your business, and keep your business with 50 cent, and keep your girlfriend out of your business. Thats the problem, with most women, tell it to Jesus and leave your so call girlfriends out of your business. When you was lying down with this man was your girlfriend there? Hell no, so why let her dictate to you, on how much you should recieve from this man, you are not his wife, and your greed left you with $80,000 hell thats alot for someone to be sitting on their ass collecting child support, go back to school, and make something of yourself, while your child is still underage, you should be thinking towards age 18, then the support is going to stop, then what will you do? You go 50 cent, she thought you was a fool, but hey the good Lord looks after fools and babies. Keep up the good work you are a good man, and a wonderful Father. Shaniqua, you need to ask the Father of your child to forgive you for being so greedy, and ask the Lord to forgive you as well, remember you reap what you sow, and so forth you have reap. Change your evil ways and get on with your life, go to school, find a good church and Bible study so you can become the Mother that your child needs.

possible 80 grand support, that's a crock of crap. what the hell kid needs that much support. it's alimony in disguise since mother doesn't have to account for where one cent is spent. child support laws were passed by pussy whipped politicians. support the kids to hell with giving money to mothers

50-cent is one cheap bozo. If he can use his "thing", he should pay the "bling". He was too cheap to use a condom, so now he should PAY UP.

That was not a fair question. It is the child that deserves to be provided for. The mother happens to have custody. If she thinks she is entitiled she should sure for palimony. I was married for 23 years, had two children. In Ga you receive 20% for one and 5% for each addition child. He does have responsibility to this child, it just so happens the mother is in charge of how the money is spent and as long as the child is being cared for, enough said. It is not about the parents, it is about the children. Parents loose sight of that.

I haven't had a chance to hear her side of the story, so until then I won't make judegments...which seems to be what a lot of folks on here are doing. Amazing...you apply your personal upsets to others and feel vindicated. What a sad world you must live in.

I am a Mother that gets child support for my children not for me, the money goes to them, clothes, medical bills, school functions, sports, and things like that. I would NEVER take what is meant for my children and I know that it does not take 90 thousand a year to raise one kid. She should have to provide 1/2 of the cost to support her child, it took two to make the child and two sould support it. It shouldnt matter that he has that much money, she should get her fat butt up and get an educationa and job. She is a greedy woman and she makes all us single moms look bad.

I am a woman who raised two daughters as a single mother. I never once used any of the child support money on myself or to pay for things I wanted. My girls never went without material items, but lacked the emotional support they needed from their father, because he was so upset with having to give me money to raise them. He always thought he was paying for my new car. I had a job making more money than him, but he claimed I needed his to by my car. Some men need to grow up and realize that they need to support their children. And women need to learn that just because they made a child with a man and it did not work out. They do not deserve a free ride for the rest of her life. The child does not either. They need to be supported until they are of legal age and able to support themselves, they don't deserve a free ride for the rest of their lives either.
And if she had been smart she would have married him, I guess he was the smart one. She needs to get a job and move on.

Oh she's a gold digger!!! This is the type of woman that gives good women a bad rap. He should just take the child away from her and raise it himself, then she would get exactly what she deserves --- NOTHING! I think it is just wrong to bring a child into this world for money. Get out and get a job like everybody else and stop wining about how much someone else has and stop trying to take what someone else has worked hard for you B@%^$*.
