Ex to 50 -- I'm Squattin' in Da House!

61. I am split on this one. While 50 Cent is obligated to pay child support, the mom isn't entitled to anything beyond that! Sorry but she should get a job and find her own place!

62. #7, 50 DOES pay child support. Read the article before you comment.

As for my earlier comment, I take it back a bit. At least 50 is living up to that obligation! I still stand behind that she has no legal claim to his house. He is to take care of the child, not her!

63. Just to clarify - Shaniqua gets $6,700/mo for child support, not that this isn't quite a bit, but I live in Long Isand and can say that just renting a nice 2 bedroom apartment in a good school district can easily run $2,500/mo. And just about everything else around here is expensive too. You need o be bringing in at least $100K to be considered middle class around here.
Whether or not she is greedy, it comes down to the child - he is the one who will suffer. If 50 doesn't like the situation, why doesn't he just go for physical custody of his son? There is no reason that with a father of 50's wealth, that the child should not have a certain standard of living. Unfortunately, the baby mama will probably not get a job or sacrifice anything for herself, so the son if the one who will end up screwed in the deal.
And on a side note... I am from the town where Nas' daughter and her mother were living up until recently. They lived in a modest duplex style apartment and the daughter went to the public school. Carmen (the mom) was always driving random rental cars.
I always had to wonder why Nas couldn't even set his daughter up in a small (paid for) house of their own with a car (hey-he coul've kept the title for everything until she was 18). I'm sure the mother was scrounging any child support but that shouldn't mean the daughter shouldn't have a respectable standard of living.
I think too many father's want to screw over the mother's (for whatever reason) and the children suffer. According to many court's in the country - a child should be entitled to the same standard of living had the parents been married and making a life together. Sadly, this is far from the truth despite whose at fault for it.

64. Bossip.com reported she receives $15,000 a month child support. I think she can afford a place to live on $180,000 a year, providing she is not spending it all on Gucci and Prada.

66. I am just wondering why people think this woman deserves to keep this house? When normal every day people shack up and have kids, when they split up does the dad HAVE to provide a place to stay for the kid??? NO....he has to pay CHILD SUPPORT...NOT BABY MAMA SUPPORT!!!!! So why should 50 just because he has money? Its not HIS job to completely take care of this child...She is the parent too!! Get a damn job!

67. For all you people that sit here and trash this woman need to get the facts straight, I know this woman personally she is just a woman that WORKS hard and has her own money, and pays her own bills, he just does not like the fact that she has moved on and found someone that loves her for her not to sit next to him and make him look pretty, they have a child together, they has this child together way before he became Mr 50 and she was by his side when his stupid ass got shot, she put up with alot of crap and still maintained her class. That house belongs to his child and that child has the right to live in it. Just because she has moved on and found someone that loves her does not give him the right to throw his child away. She wants to keep the child in the home that he nos and the environment he is used to, it is called keeping the child grounded, and I give her credit for that. 50 has not given that child the time or day in about a nyear just because she MOVED ON, he is taking it out on the child to hurt her, his ass needs to grow up, and help raise that child they way he needs to be raised. This is not about the mother trying to take his money its about the childs life.

68. I must agree with Yea Ok. As a child of a wealthy father whose parents were divorced, I can say it is the son who will suffer the most. My father was so out to spite my mother by making sure she had to work her butt off and have no luxuries in life that it was "I" - the child who suffered. My father could have easily taken the high road and made sure I had lived a certain lifestyle.
Sadly, I always had to live in apartments, my mother always drove older used cars, got hand-me-down furniture, there were times we bought clothes in thrift shops, and always seemed to live month to month. My mother was by no means greedy and was also very hard-working but my father was angry he did not get custody of me. Child Support was modest since I grew up in NY where the living costs are high.
I would visit my father and live a lavish life there (country clubs, great trips etc.) and come home to my Mom and return to the most minimal.
I just find it unfortunate that although my father could has EASILY sustained a better lifestyle for me (with my mother) - he found that it was more important to make my mother's life miserable.
50 is angry with his son's mother and finds it more important to him to hate her (possibly rightfully so) and punish her that he is forgetting about what is in the best interest of his son. He chose to have a child - his child should be entitled to what 50 can afford (whether or not the mother ends up benefiting is besides the point)

69. yeahok, that lame story you just posted further proves that she's a
skank and you're a fool to think we would believe that. if she was
doing all that, she'd be the single parent, find a home on her own
and get on with life. she's working, paying her own bills you say?
get real and get right, she is dependent upon a life style that is
supplied by child support that is meant for her son.

70. #75 I no her for a long time that house was purchased along time ago, and the child has been living there just about all his life, and for your information this woman has her own company that she created herself, and did go to collage and she does have a degree, and I could give a rats ass who you beleave, this is not about the parents this is about the child staying grounded in the environment he is used to, this is not about her getting what she can from the father, he made that child he needs to step up and help rsaise that child, he was paying child support and then stopped all because she ended the relationship and moved on and he didnt like it so he stopped paying she had to go to court to get him to pay again and not to reveal the amount but he could do better if he was a real man, this woman can raise the child by herself she feels that he is the father he should help her just like all the other parents in this world that have to pay child support this is his child too and that house for your information was bought for the CHILD not the mother and not for himself, and the child lives with the mother, what is the mother going to live somewhere else and the child live alone, get your head out of your ass.

71. Let's say for the sake of this that Shaniqua is a money-hungry, bloodsuckering, lazy beeotch.
That leaves us with 3 options:
1: 50 should petion the court for custody, stop working, and be the primary care-giver to his son so the child can maintain a standard of living that he should be entitled too. Then 50 won't have to give her a dime but I doubt he wants to play daddy full-time
2: 50 can take the home becuase he wants to "punish" Shaniqua or make right the wrong that has been done to him by kicking them out of the home. Sadly in the process, the child also gets punished, just becuase 50 wants to make a point
3: 50 can take the high road and say - "Money is just money, Shaniqua is a greedy B - but my son is more important than anything else, so I want him to have the best lifestyle I can provide for him since I can't take him full-time myself."

50's son should be #1 at all costs - even if that means letting Shaniqua get away with murder for the next 8 years. Karma's a b***h - and she will get hers one day, even if 50 lets if go now.

Everyone one seems to be taking sides - is anyone on the childs side? What is best for the child?
If your daddy is worth 100 mil - wouldn't you hope you could stay in your home, in your school, with your friends?

Letting her keep the home seems like a small price to pay for the happiness of his son (which should come before EVERYTHING else)

72. By one thats what I was trying to explain its not about how much money either one of the parents have its about keeping the child grounded and in the environment he is used to, not about how much the father makes or how much he gives the mother. She really is a classy person who wants the best for her child not for her.

73. SHE IS GETTING 25000 A MONTH IN CHILD SUPPORT FROM 50 AND THE AGREEMENT WAS THAT WITH THAT MONEY SHE WAS GONNA LOOK FOR HER OWN HOUSE. SHE IS JUST TRYING TO USE 50 FOR ALL SHE CAN AND I HOPE TEH COURTS DENY HER THAT RIGHT. YES SHE HAD A BABY WITH HIM AND HE IS PAYING FOR IT, THAT DOESNT MEAN HE HAS TO BUY HER A HOUSE. SHE NEEDS GET OFF HER LAZY ASS AND FEND FOR HERSELF.

74. I often get jerked by my child's father with expenses he has been ordered to pay by the courts. I am enraged that I get stuck with these expenses when I see him spending money for other non-essential luxuries.
BUT, I refrain from going back and forth to court, as I know my child (and no child for that matter) wants to see their parents fight. Also, I know that if I do take the father back to court, he will probably not visit with my son as often (to get back at me) .
I find that my child will suffer more with the fighting than if I just bite my tongue and pay the bills myself (even though they are not my responsibility and I have far less disposible income than 50 Cent. - I could honestly use the money but it is not worth my child getting hurt.)
50 - Just eat the money to keep the peace and keep your son happy
