Over the weekend, I received a phone call from a source close to rapper T.I’s camp who was upset by the one-sided media coverage of rapper T.I.’s ongoing child support issue.
She wanted my readers to know that T.I. is the greatest father and would never let one of his kids go without. She was very impassioned about the fact that all of T.I.’s kids want for nothing.
As you know T.I.’s other baby mama, Lashon Dixon and T.I. were in an Atlanta courtroom on Thursday where both sides presented financial disclosures. The presiding judge scheduled another hearing to determine how much child support the court will set for T.I. and Dixon’s sons Messiah Yamajesty, 8, and Domani Uriah, 7.
According to T.I.’s attorney, Dixon “chooses not to work.”
My source, who said nothing but kind words about Dixon, refused to speculate on why Dixon filed for child support when she gets over $5,000 a month in support for the boys — “on top of the $2,000 he hands her every month.”
T.I.’s support to Dixon includes private school tuition, clothing, even her mortgage and car note is paid by T.I. every month. My source revealed that Dixon has one other child with another man, but she refused to suggest that the other baby daddy put pressure on Dixon to squeeze T.I. for more money.
“In a nutshell, let it be known that his kids are just extremely well taken care of,” said my source.
“Those kids are outright spoiled. You name it, those kids have not only every Play Station, they have the PS3, the WI, the X Box, every Play station known to man. Whatever those kids want. If it’s their birthdays, they only turn that age once. The birthday parties are extravagant. They get outlandish! They’ve had pony rides at their parties, moon walks. It’s getting to the point where it’s hard to find stuff that they don’t have. They have motorcycles, 3 wheelers, 2 wheelers, you name it. “
My source said T.I.’s generosity extends to his business family as well.
While on house arrest, T.I. continued paying his three assistants who didn’t have anything to do. “He didn’t want his assistants to suffer for his mistakes,” said my source. My source confirmed that T.I. paid Dixon support while on house arrest and his children came over every other day at least. “He might as well have joint custody, he sees his kids so much,” said my source.
My source said T.I. has three nannies for his children, including a man he hired just to take the kids on outings while he works in the studio. My source also stressed that T.I.’s children don’t refer to each other as “half” sisters and brothers. “They’re brothers and sisters and they love each other.” She said T.I. treats Tiny’s daughter Zonnique as his own daughter.
“When T.I. and Tiny go on vacation, all the kids go,” said my source. “These kids are well mannered, well educated, they’re into everything. He deserves to be noted as a great father!”
T.I.’s sixth studio album, Paper Trail, is slated to be released on September 30.
In two weeks, T.I. plans a 3-day weekend of festivities to celebrate his birthday and album release.
Stay tuned to see how you can win two passes to T.I.’s exclusive birthday party where you will be holding court with the King! There’s also another special surprise that I can’t reveal just yet. But check back soon!
