A judge has ordered rapper T.I. to pay the mother of his first two children more money in child support.
Lashon Dixon was previously receiving $2,000 a month for the two boys, ages 7 and 8, but because of the court order she will now get more than $3,000 a month.
A few weeks ago, I would have thought this was justice. What I didn’t realize at the time was that T.I. was already paying for the kids’ private school tuition, medical bills, and extracurricular activities, including acting lessons, summer camp, football, baseball, and basketball. And Dixon apparently doesn’t have a job and doesn’t feel the need to get one. Because of the child support and all.
Her lawyer said that his client is dissatisfied with the amount but “every little bit helps. She was just getting by with the children.”
Hmm, maybe if she had income that didn’t rely solely on a failed relationship with a guy who happened to strike it rich, it would improve her finances. What a crazy thought.

I thought he was paying child support not alimony. Greedy women.
I got Ho’s, I got ho’s, in different area codes…
Nice. Some months, my husband and I get by on less than that with none of those extras. Note to all young rappers. Keep it wrapped or you’re going to pay for some lazy hooker to stay at home and sponge off of you.
Ahhhh, so he has been paying child support. Well, that just means she’s a greedy ho.
Geez, can’t the judge see he can’t even afford a shirt?!
Mo ho be da’ no ho, yo?
I represented a client in a similar situation as T.I.’s, although my client wasn’t nearly as wealthy, he just had a good job. We weren’t able to get around what was due pursuant to the law (it’s a straight calculation where I live, based upon both parents’ salaries, unless you can show a deviation is in the best interests of the child), but the judge did tell the mother she needed to be more flexible with my client’s schedule (visitation issues…) since it was his job that allowed her to enjoy a nice lifestyle. THAT at least was a small victory.
Being a stay at home mom is a full time job!!! A stay at home mom is a housekeeper, cook, day care worker, nurse, tutor etc.. As for her requesting more money… as his income goes up so should his support payments. I work with teen moms who (if they are lucky) get less than a hundred dollars a month. The fathers of their children could become rappers, CEOS, or gas station attendants it would be crazy to assume that child support payments should stay the same no matter what. The children are entitled to get a percentage of those future earnings no matter what they are.
Women in the workplace may get paid 73% what men do but I bet custodial mothers get 150% compared to custodial fathers. Those kids are 7 and 8 so how much house cleaning do you suppose she is doing while they are in school? Sexism does exist in America-against non-custodial fathers.
How is expecting a non custodial father to pay child support sexist? As for women getting more than men Britney pays K Fed 15,000 a month in child support. I’m sure he feels very discriminated against…Looking at this another way if T.I. was the custodial parent I am sure that he would need a nanny to watch the children during tours and time in the studio. Live in nannies make about 400 to 800 hundred dollars a week… Looking at it that T.I. is actually getting a bargain.
He’s paying for the kids like he should. He shouldn’t be paying for his ex-baby mama to live a lifestyle that she has not earned, besides spreading her legs. And I agree that there is a disparity between how fathers are treated in custody battles. They have to show the mother is unfit before there’s even consideration that a father can get custody, like being a woman automatically means that you’re the better parent.
I can’t beleive that you think being a stay at home mom is worth a certain percentage! She CHOOSES to be a stay at home mom. I would choose to be a stay at home mom, but my 8 year old enjoys certain things that aren’t free. He plays sports that cost money. His dad pays child support, and honestly could probably pay more, but being a good father is more important than being capable of writing a check. (He is neither, he pays so I don’t sue his a$$) I could be bitter, I could be a typical “baby-mama” and take him to the cleaners, but why? What does that show my son about being self sufficient? I work FULL TIME and go to school to better our lives. That is what my son sees. Not daddy paying my bills! People in this country are so tied up with money. B!tch needs to get a job! She’s not raising babies anymore, they don’t need someone at home ALL the time! Even a part time job can be done while they are in school and they wouldn’t even know she was gone. What is the difference that an extra 1,000 is making? What kind of things are these kids doing that she needs to request that? My wife and I both work, barely bring in that much between us and my son still enjoys life. Yeah his jeans are from Target, his shoes are “only” vans, but why does an 8 year old need to dress like he’s walking a carpet? I bet her hair is done, I bet her nails are always done, that has nothing to do with raising kids. If you didn’t want to raise those kids without a ton of money every month, don’t have them. These young girls are having kids like they are free and then expect some guy to take care of them IF they manage to bust their a$$es to make it. The second you find out you are pregnant, act like you won’t ever have money. Make your own way. If she was a real woman she’d be putting that money in an account for them to go to collage and working to pay her own bills. His carreer could flat-line at any time, take care of your own!! And her thinking those kids deserve what he has built is wrong. If your tallent gets you to the top it doesn’t belong to anyone else. It’s nice that he does for his kids, but he doesn’t “owe” them anything. She should be teaching her children to make their own way so no one can take it from them!! Being a stay at home mom is NOT the job, it’s a benifit. Being able to stay with your kids is an aminity that most don’t have. If being with your kids is a JOB, stop having them, cause you don’t deserve them. I stayed home with my son, and when he went to school, I went back to work, get over yourself.
holla t.i. comwstis
Heifer, please. While I am thankful to be home with my kids, if you think it isn’t a JOB, you’ve never done it right. As for T.I. or any other father not “owing” his kids anything, that’s so full of shit it could roll a Hummer.
FUNNY
