According to the AJC, rapper T.I. appeared in court yesterday with a check for the $8,000 he owed the attorneys of one of his baby mama’s.
As you already know, LaShon Dixon, mother of T.I.’s oldest sons, sued the rapper for more child support last year (LINK).
A judge increased her monthly payments from the $2000 that T.I. was giving her to a little more than $3,000 a month.
The judge also ordered T.I. to pay Dixon’s attorney’s fees of $8,000 but he missed the deadline for payment.
T.I.’s excuse for not paying Dixon’s attorneys was the judge’s order to pay got lost when he changed assistants. As you recall in a previous post, I told you that T.I. fired his sister Precious and her son, who were his assistants (LINK).
T.I.’s other baby mama — the mother of his daughter Deyjah — still gets $2000 a month from T.I. and apparently she has no plans to take him to court for more.
As long as everyone is happy.
I thought all of TI kids stayed with him and his babymomma Tiny, if so then the other babymommas need a full-time job,they can go onto monster.com and create a resume and look for jobs. Im just saying
The moral of this story: Stop making babies all over the damn place! You can’t keep all of the baby mamas happy all the time.
just pay the fine and keep it moving…admirable.
Let’s celebrate this occasion & Personal accomplishment…

These chicks get 2,000-3,000 a month…*sigh*
That’s a grip!
Cause the other baby momma probably WORKS! Geesh, he pays her 3k a month, pays for their school, and still spends on those boys. Not to mention she asked for 10k yesterday for a monthly payment! Im just saying, and I know some of yall will disagree, no 36k isnt a lot but along with your OWN income it is substantial! I just dont think its fair that the mother’s are allowed to sit on their ays and collect cause the child’s father is successful. If you 2 were married thorugh his success, okay may be a different story, but you had those boys when he didnt have anything now you want in. If her babydaddy were a broke nucca she would have to get up and work, why is it different cause he worked hard? He responded to the judge very appropriately yesterday by saying he does his part, and he worked hard, and if this chick aint on the level she wants to be on it because she is not doing her part.
Good for him. That was a silly little debt. He spends more for that on Tiny’s purses.
I couldn’t even get out of the car this morning because this was the “hot” topic on the radio. One of the DJs (the female) said that $3000 was plenty (because TI also pays for the boys tuition, insurances, gotten the mom a car, and buys all the boys clothes and supports their extra-curricular activities) but the male DJ said $36k a year isn’t enough for two kids. Sometimes Frank Ski (the DJ) can be out of the loop on these things.
How many kids do the dude have.
Sandra said: “T.I.’s other baby mama — the mother of his daughter Deyjah — still gets $2000 a month from T.I. and apparently she has no plans to take him to court for more.”
V-103 is reporting that LaShawn (spelling) is requesting an additional $7000 per month. She currently receives $3000 and want $10,000.

You know I never understood why a person should get that much in child support. To let 50’s baby momma tell it…the child should be able to enjoy the same standard of life with both parents. If that is the case, then let the other parent start grindin’ just like the rest of us.
Very Good!! I’m glad that he complied with the order of the court. I think the mother is not being so reasonable. How old is this kid that she needs a three grand + a month?

Elove you are a fool for that one.
Okay last thing – I think if you receive that much a month you should have to account for every dime spent to ensure that it is used for the well-being of the child.

@melinla:
Not to mention he bought her house, what the hail she wanna do, she cant hit the Louis store like Tiny. Those are the breaks!
Depending on the day Frank Ski can work my last nerve on reserve. My gfriend feels 3K is not enough when his other kids are living the life and all his kids should be living the same good life. I feel as long as his kids are well taken care of and arent hurting for anything then its all good. He appears to spend time with them. I am sure they both wishes the courts wouldnt have had to get involved but oh well such is life.
@Elove I will glady take the cash in place of a LV or Gucci bag…
Say what you want about T.I…..he takes cares of his. These greedy biatches. I wonder if any of em work……its time we call em deadbeat momas
@Keely I think that was the problem she thought/thinks she can have whatever she likes just like Tiny.
My mama had two of em on her own….never asked for shyt, and worked two jobs, and is putting us thru college, by herself, so i ain’t got non luv, no respect for none of these babymamas who are just sitting and collecting a check….eff em
Just coming from a single father who raises his kid by hisself. These bit**ches are delirious!!! These chicks look for a meal ticket and their arguements are stupid. $36,000 is a salary and national median of a single american makes about $31,000. So she gets more than what a single american makes by taking his ass to work every single day and dealing with a bunch of B.S. while she makes it by simple sitting at home.
I heard the Frankski show this morning and that is the problem. If you have kids than you have to raise your kids but the majority of “fathers” that pay child support have a problem because these mothers abuse the child support payments. If she wouldn’t have the kids I guarantee that she probably would be making 36K a year period. Plus if he pays for all the schools, health care, etc that needs to be added in there as well.
I am sorry, I don’t agree with these women that cry all that high child support crap. A lot of times men pay for the kids miscellenous expenses like school clothes, health care, day care. So the only thing the mothers have to do is get groceries. Rent you have to pay regardless if you have kids or not.
And yes I am raising my own kid with NO child support payments and never have. So I know what it takes to raise a kid
@ CAgirlinGA–
I agree with you. A lot of times Frank should just keep his mouth closed. I wonder how much he would have to come out of his pocket for the kids he have by Tonya.
@Daisy:
I have friends that feel the same as yours but I had to ask them, if they were as successful as TI and they babydaddy was broke, would they have to pay him so that when the kids are over his house they would maintain the same lifestyle? I mean Tiny has her own money Im sure, and with it being 2 parents in one house and 1 in the other it will never be a level playing field. They cant possibly live the same life, unless they all move in together! 10k aint gone do it either.
^ Actually i think thats exactly what she wants! From my understanding she makes only $20,000 a year BITCH GET A BETTER JOB! Child Support is for THE CHILD not for you to add outfits to your wardrobe so you can run around flexing like YOU have big money. You want to live like Tiny? 1) Get a better paying job even if that means taking your ass to school to get a degree 2) Marry a man thats just as financially successful (if not more) as T.I.
Tell it dblaq!!!!!
T.I had better go ahead and marry Tiny. If something should happen to him and his assets there would be nothing she could say or do. She’d just be another baby mama.
Better make it happen, capn’!!
I am sure frank ski was paying his baby mama a grip before he got custody of his oldest son. He would be paying out the ying yang to Tonya if they ever split.
I hate when topics like this get posted, cuz everybody get on some other shyt and start going at each others throats…GOOD JOB TI.
Krysi – how did we get off-topic?
TI definitely handles his business when it comes to his children. I love to see a Black man spending time as well as providing for his children.
@Caligirl:
I was just thinking the same thing, it appears to me that most of us share the same thought! 36k is sufficient enough.
36k is MORE than enough, especially if it’s going directly to the child
@mizzdallas… NOT the Koolaid-hair LMAO
@Daisy… CHUCH (Give me the Money-Honey ANY DAY!!!)
@melinla… MOST Child-support systems ARE corrupt AND the one here in the CHI is the WORST in the U.S. as far as corruption is concerned (Real Talk)
@dblaq
I offered my BM to pay WHATEVER child-support she could or wanted to… to a trust-education fund I HAD setup for OUR daughter I WAS REARING (GUESS WHAT)
SHE contributed ALL of $0.00 dollars to it (Str-8 TRASH!!!)

I just got in here, so I didn’t read every body’s comments, incase you though I was specifically speaking towards you…I just mean these touchy subjects period (Child support, baby mama’s, wifey’s etc). When they get posted everyone starts going at it comparing their life and TI’s life to everyone one on earth…shyt Im one of em, I do the same thing…it just looks exhausting to me sometimes, cuz I know whats coming.
36 is a sufficient enough yes it is I think 24K is when the father is paying everything else. H*ll she don’t have to pay for clothes, shoes or anything cause dude is doing it. She needs to do what Outkast said ” Get up get out and get something.” wit her lazy azz
I agree Dblaq. Some of these heffas need to get a job. Those kids are school age she is not taking care of kids all day. I get a very small amount of child support and my husband does nothing financially besides that for my son. Let them take a walk in an everyday woman’s shoes and they will learn to take that amount and run.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He is getting ready to go to jail for a year. I am married and because of the privacy laws it is hard for me to get info on hubby’s bills, not sure what the plan is going to be for Tiny to keep everything running smoothly when she has no rights.
@Shunda you married? I am confused.lol
@Daisy
That should of said EX I was typing to fast
@Shunda ok, I was like what in the world how did I miss her being married when she just got back with her friend so I thought..lol
yeah love (Daisy) glad you cleared that up cause you had me on that too….
@daisy
lol. Yeah I have been divorced. It will be 6 years in May. There is no ring on it lol.
Well who knew you were ever married. Would you get married again?
They have to force their baby father’s to pay them more money because they don’t get as much from welfare which is their only other option…
Andddd instead of putting it all on the man for making babies how about these ho#@ stop spreading their legs for every chocolate brother with a piece and the problem would be solved.
I see it all the time, people think they can trap a man by having a baby and he don’t fall for it so they go after his pockets. These are also the same women with 10 babies daddies who are either in jail, dead, or unknown so they go after the one man that actually has a job and make him pay.
Their blood suckers, I got one right now doing that to my brother. Heffa!
What does that make your brother?
@Anna- More than likey there is a Plan B for when he starts his bid (I hope). Lord knows if I was getting $36k a year, I would’ve started saving a LONG time ago.
you know CS will do automatic withdrawls from you checking…LMAO
they gonna get theres
They fell in love when they were teenagers they had two babies it didn’t work out. She went on to have 4 other kids by FOUR DIFFERENT MEN he had two more with his WIFE! He works every darn day over time and she keeps taking him back to court.
The last time I checked that makes my brother a REAL MAN!
Just checking since you called her a heffa. I really don’t care what your brother is or isnt FYI. I will say we do need more real black men. Can never have to many.
* And she doesn’t know who her baby daddy’s are or they don’t have a job. She’s sitting at home living with a crack head cause he pays her bills.
@ Daisy actually you did care since you asked what does that make my brother?
@Daisy
Yeah I have mentioned it before. I was married from 21-23. Yes I would do it again the first time never really felt like a real marriage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am glad I live in Ohio. I like payroll deductions for CS. I should not have to take the risk to think the payor is going to have the decencey to willingly make payments using a personal account.
Hey the way you said it made me think he came after all of the kids…but since he was the first that don’t make him a bad dude….but if it was the other way around yeah other things would have been said about him
I used to take the payments to child support, but when I was going out of town and would miss by 2 or 3 days they would be hawking me so I started the payroll deductions and I love it as well…
@kcicero
Girl she found a crack head that pays bills lol. j/k
As for me myself I despise the child support system but sometimes you can’t get the man to cooperate. My ex went to court on his own when we split up and with my daughter it was an automatic court appearance since I was a minor and not married.
@kcicero- Does your brother and his wife live comfrontably? The reason I ask is because some of these chicks think this is a competition. The logic is:
If you and your wife have a $250k house in the burbs, I want that for Raheem. we wanna ball too! If I take this nikka to court, and my payments are increased, I will make that happen for the 09!
It’s really sad because I have relatives who think like this. Instead of getting off their behinds to get a job or a better job, they rather live off the system. Truly patheic!
*pathetic*
Lol yeah girl he’s a functioning crackhead!!! You know they do exist!!
Oh the child support system is definitely needed for brothers like that who just won’t pay. But it definitely needs to be overhauled for people who are working and trying to do right by their kids but the women doesn’t have a good job or none at all.
A man that goes to court on his own, wow!
@KC Like I said I dont/didnt care I only asked since you called his baby mama a heffa.
My brother lives in Mt.Airy (Philly quasi burbs) he drives an expedition, his wife is a functioning Bi-Polar who keeps herself together with the latest.
That is probably why but I also think its because her other baby daddy’s don’t pay. By the way my nephews are 17 and 14 I believe and the rest of her kids are younger so I believe it is not necessarily for them but more for the younger ones.
I don’t believe a woman should take a brother to court who is handling his business on his own. I have 2 friends who never had to take their baby daddys to court. I also have friends who tried that route but it didnt workout so downtown they went. So at the end of the day (yes I went there) single mothers do what must be done for you and yours.
kcicero….4 KIDS…4 DIFFERENT MEN???????
Hmmmm…that’s a pattern of destructive behavior to say the least! She needs to do some soul searching…lol
Single mothers who are trapping dudes get no sympathy for me. If you have four kids by four baby daddies and never been married then that’s on you and you don’t get any sympathy from me. If you sorry worried about how your going to take care of your kids get a job or get the man to put a ring on it.
Women like these you guys describe are why I am working on my Masters and I have a very comfortable living. I can’t stand a handout.
^Definitely agree..if things can be worked out amicably between parties without involvement by the court system, fabulous! But again, sometimes you have to take dude to court.
Ugh so many typos in that last post,
I know DB! But she’s like in her 30’s near 40’s if she hasn’t changed now then it’s not going to happen…then again I guess there’s always hope.
what does married have to do with it. If a man isn’t taking care of his kids he needs to be punished. If a women is having that many d*mn kids by that many d*mn men she needs her azz kicked. I have 3 kids two different women and take care of them all…and never placed a ring as you say “on it”
yvonne said: “sometimes you have to take dude to court.”
Or in cases like dblaq – take ol’ girl to court. Sadly, it goes both ways y’all. There are trifling folks on both sides of the chromosomal tree.

——————————————————–
The key word is “We” wanna ball to. The momma don’t need to ball only Raheem. Put it this way if Raheem lives with Momma and Daddy buys Raheem all the clothes, toys, and whatever his heart desires that will allow him to do the same. And most important if Raheem has a room at his Daddy house where he can come to anytime, holidays, weekends, etc. But I know a several mothers that don’t even let the Daddy’s see the kids but yet rape them on the child support. That is some Bullshyt! I have a friend of mine that pays close to a $1000, plus he sends extras, she don’t even let him talk to him on the phone and she stay taking him to court because she can’t keep a job. What about these triflin h o e s. They come dime and dozens
and yeah talking about “Real Men”
We need some Real Women too, that don’t come with all kinds of baggage and a chip on their shoulders. thank you very much
oh and I would like to say this goes out to ANY PUNK AZZ DUDES THAT’S TAKEN THE MOTHER OF THEIR KIDS TO COURT FOR CS AND NOT GETTING A JOB THEMSELVES…
There’s not many but they’re out there
@CaligirlinGa
Ain’t no reason for me to take her to court. I am a man and I will take care of mines. I don’t depend on no one. He is my blood and if I got to go that extra mile I do it. The time and effort I would spend in court and all that. I can use that time to make some extra money. In the very early stages when she use to have him, she use to try to take me to court every month. I paid child support, bought all his clothes, paid all his expenses, picked him up for basketball games, or whatever he wanted to do with the school, etc. So now that the table are turned ain’t shyt she can do and say but thing is that she realized how triflin she was. she doesn’t make a lot of money and has another kid. So I dont even bother
i’m still trying to figure out how the hell you “trap” a guy…please enlighten me…how is this defined?
@DB I agree with that although you said it w/ unecessary attitude. I am a real woman who does NOT male bash, I dont see what the point is. I will be the 1st woman to keep it real and say BOTH women and men can be TRFILIN it goes both ways. I will also say BOTH men and women can come with baggage as well thats just not a woman thing either.
@Blogg I have always wondered that as well. Again BOTH men and women know how NOT to get prg. One of my friends baby daddys mama had the nerve to try and tell her she tried to trap her son. Keep in mind my gfriend makes more money, has a nicer/bigger house and car. She was trying to help him get his finances back in order and what not. She had to quickly let his mama know she had it all wrong and her son didnt have anything she needed to “trap” him for..lol
You can say whatever you want but that’s part of the problem with our community now. Too many people having kids out of wedlock and no fathers in the homes to help raise these young men.
@ bloggergirlz
Must I get graphic, lol! My cousin got her two kids by poking holes in her condoms with a safety pin.
kcic…We had many discussions on this! AGE HAS NADA TO DO WITH MINDSTATE! *ole girl is a prime example*
I agree the courts need to do a major overhaul of the child support system….I think Leshawn should be ashamed for asking T.I. for more money. Like Wanda Smith was saying this morning, I want to know what Lashawn does for a living. Is she in school/working?…How is $3000/mo. not enough money for two children?…She needs to show an expense/budget statement of what she is doing with the money to justify an increase.
@dblaq
I CONCUR… It’s not EVEN worth the effort !!!
Daisy…SAID WHAT WITH UNNECESSARY ATTITUDE? 4 baby momma comment?
#78: i knew you were gonna go there lol! i should’ve added, “besides chicks who intentionally steal sperm”…i’ve heard the term used in situations (see #77), however i didnt understand why…i guess it’s an overused term huh…
If that’s the comment I didn’t get any tude from it DB…
Well speaking from a child’s perspective….my father had a son before he married my mom….and my brother’s mom constantly took my Dad in and out of court because she saw the lifestyle we had. Well my mother was a working woman and made the same if not more than my Dad so her income made a difference in our household. The courts didn’t count the things my Dad did outside of his payments such as shopping sprees, vacations, cars bought, etc that my Dad did for all of his kids. They treated those as gifts. So the system can be a not so good think. And although it may not matter, both my parents went to college and went into fields that paid well….my brother’s mom didn’t. It’s not to slight his mom because I love her dearly and she’s been very good to us but you have to look at the bigger picture. As a kid, I didn’t understand why we lived in a moderate house but we picked my brother up in the projects and it boils down to all things just don’t equal when different factors are there.
mmmmmmk…i’m lost…daisy, dont go into hiding now…you know your butt be posting messages like a pill popper popping pills…i need to hear your response…got me scrolling up and down trying to figure out what this ruckus is about…
kcic…I think she meant Dblaq.
LMAOOOOOOOOO @BLOGGERGIRLZ! Girl, you are simple!!!
@divine: what’s up homey (whew, aint used that term in ages)…have you been to london? i know you traveled alot leisurely and w/ the military…
Dblaq – gotcha! There are few men out there like you…I know one myself who has done a fantastic job (which is very similar to your own situation). Not that you asked for it but…<<>>…I don’t know you except via this blog…but I’M proud of you and your efforts. Believe that. True man, indeed. Way to go.
To add to my previous post all of my brother’s siblings fathers by his mom were not in the picture so my Dad was the only child support income being added to the household.
bloggergirlz…I say homie, home skillet, All the time. LOL
I haven’t been to London BUTTTT I heard the fashion game is PROLIFIC IN THOSE PARTS!! I was headed to Germany last October and we were gonna hit up London (Ryan Air has cheap tickets for the liggity low low)
But, my mom fell and hurt herself pretty bad so I had to postpone the trip.
Are you going? I’m jealous…
Can you get me some Giuseppe Zanotti’s from over there? LMAO!
That is so true: We all know how not to get pregnant.
I had some chicks trying to trap me but I can tell you how fast that Mr. Tingle man good feeling went away when I know I was about to hit the jackpot and I was still stuck inside the casino.
Ain’t no gooshy in the world make me forget that 15 seconds of pleasure can lead to 18 years of responsibility. And most of the time it is not the kids that will be the problem it is the Baby Momma!!!
@db: girl, you have me cracking up w/ home skillet! my uncle still uses that one…
im going to london in 2 wks…just got my ticket today…im so excited…my first/last overseas trip was to germany…i didnt get to travel like i wanted to, but i managed to go to strasbourg, france…i saying a strong prayer b4 i go though…i dont want to come back sharp AND broke lol! u aint making it no better either…
Being a single parent of two it is hard raising kids without the right amount of income. You are one person doing a two person job. So first shout out to any singlw parent that is doing it on there own without any child support. I xhoose not to put my children’s father on child support because I was always taught that God will make a way out of no way. So far he has. My children have way more than I have ever gotten and the bomb. I don’t know TI baby mama situation but hopefully she will figure it out and take care of her boys
bloggergirlz…I’m jealous! I’m hatin…
Do international flights have increased luggage limits. Or is it still that wack A$$ 50. Who are you going with?
Let me know if there really is an underground reggae scene. With lots of Jamaicans…That is what I like to call a “target rich” environment! LMAO
Well Im hate’n- I only get 600.00 a month and i want 3gs… No reason- just because…… on the serious note… If i have to get up and work everyday- she should too.. why should TI support her house hold.. He dont live there…..
What kinda kids need the big money like this? It’s sure that his babymamas spend the big money, not just for kids.
I guess they need to be independent and get own job(s).
Lazy bi***ez!!!!
