Auto-tune aficionado T-Pain is being sued for unpaid child support for one of his four children. Rumor has it the Tallahassee-native fathered a two-year-old child out of wedlock with a woman named Elisa Hood. He met with his lawyer last week to hash out payment details. Per the unreleased court documents, T-Pain offered Hood $500 per month in support. She apparently denied the offer from the rapper, who banked a reported $15 million last year. Although T-Pain has yet to substantiate any litigation claims, the two are said to be heading to court at a later date.
In addition to the child, T-Pain has three other children with his wife of six years, Angel. The rapper turned "sanga" has been very vocal about his love for both his wife and children, and is often seen proudly sporting his wedding ring. His 2005 single 'I'm Sprung,' was dedicated to Angel and the couple currently lives together in Atlanta.
In an ironic case of life imitating art, T-Pain is featured on the aptly-titled Young Cash song 'I Support Single Mothers.'

If the child is under a certain age you can't possibly give them their money to do what they want.Child SUPPORT to support meaning help keep food in their mouths, lights on, roof over their head.We are in the middle of a recession and to be a multi millionaire and only offer your child $500 a month is a little low.You get the best why wouldn't you want your child to have the best? Pampers, milk, daycare, clothing and shoes for a growing child, insurance and other things that depend on the situation are expensive.I hope they get things together and handle this like mature adults and stop being petty.

I think the girl refused so she could go tot he judge to say, "Fine I'll take the $500 a month, and he'll have to provide medical insurance, child care, and clothing, as well as food, and utilities" The Family law Court usually side with the mother since she isn't the entertainer, and they tend to frown on these "broadcast farmers" who "sow their seeds everywhere, and never tend to the crop" I hope they throw the book at him... he might wear a wedding ring, but if that baby is only 2 years old, Angel had better be whaling away on him with a frying pan, stepping to another woman while he;s married to her!

Why is it that just because a man makes more than the average father means that he should pay more? The child's needs don't changejust because he or she has an entertainer as a parent. Having the "best" of everything isn't always monetary, it means being there, that's the 'best' anyone can give a child. And since when did diapers start being called Pampers? That's just a brand name. sorry, that's just a pet peeve of mine - call them diapers, not Pampers. That's like calling all shoes Nike's. Nike makes shoes (and other accessories) but not all shoes are Nike's. Anyway, I digress. The point is, she is a greedy beyotch if she doesn't take the $500.00 a month. She can use that money to help pay for day care, provide the roof, clothes and food, or put away for a college fund. This man should not be covering ALL of her expenses, just as he did not make the baby by himself. And she shouldn't have had the child if she couldn't afford to take care of it by herself. No one is promised tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure she knew he was married, so she had to know that he wasn't going to be with her. Maybe she had the baby in order to extort money from him. It sounds like she is a gold digging, scheming person. I have three kids, never received a dime in child support. I would love to get $500.00 a month for them. I take care of my kids, because they are my responsibility. Yes, they are also their father's responsibility, but he isn't able to care for them financially because of a disability. Being there for them is all I ask for. She should re-evaluate her priorities and get on with her life. $500.00 IS enough to HELP cover the child's expenses.

With as much as he makes, he could afford $5,000.00 a week.

9 ads and 2 comments is unacceptable.
and who the he77 is t-pain,all I know about him is that he is he's a selfish philanderer[ho-dog in ebonics].People making minimum wage pay that much in child support. Don't you wanna gro up to be just like him? Maybe have your daughter hook up wit him?

We pay 175 per week plus health insurance for 1 child that does not live with us. Yet go without to pay our bills and support our other 2 children.

As a woman, I have to admit I agree with most of what you said. Women need to be smart enough not to sleep with doggish men. But don't forget, T-Pain KNEW he was married when he bedded the other woman and APPARENTLY WITHOUT PROTECTION TOO. He took a big risk when he did that. What if he had gotten an STD from this chick and took it back home to his wife?
MARRIED MEN NEED TO GO HOME FOR SEX, NOT OUT IN THE STREET!!!!!

As a woman, I have to agree with most of what you said. But, it doesn't change the fact that T-Pain was a married man who had unprotected sex with another woman. That's really stupid. How would he have felt if he got an STD and took it home to his wife? How would he explain it?
