Nick Cannon Talks Child Support Claims to Pay ‘A Lot More’ than $3M A Year
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhtoosByBeanz It’s a question most of us have asked. How much does a man who will soon welcome his 12th child pay in child support? According to Nick Cannon—a whole lot. The Sun published an article last week estimating that child support costs Cannon nearly $3 million a year, according to attorney and legal expert, Goldie Schon—who does not represent Cannon. “When you have somebody like Nick Cannon, who’s an extremely high-income earner, the courts in California have the right to deviate from the typical child support guidelines,” Schon wrote, adding, “If he is taking home somewhere upward of $5 million a year, you have to look at what it would take to have the children kept in the lifestyle of both parents.” However, ...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Tom Hauck / Getty For the past few years Nike has been suing people left and right for banking off their products without their permission. But now it seems like the shoe is on the other foot as Odell Beckham Jr. has filed a lawsuit against the Swoosh brand for not paying him what he feels he’s owed. TMZ is reporting that the NFL superstar is suing Nike for $20 million as he’s accusing the Swoosh of purposely repressing his sneaker sales as it would’ve triggered a contract extension with the brand had they moved enough units. Apparently not only does Odell feel Nike slowed sales of his sneaker line, but it got shady when it came time to give him a new contract extension. Odell claims once his original Nike deal expired in 2017, he considered jumping ship ...

Ye aka Kanye West Blasts Minister Louis Farrakhan
Source: MEGA / Getty Minister Louis Farrakhan’s show of support for Ye aka Kanye West didn’t go over well, as the rapper blasted him in a video that has gone viral. The leader of the Nation of Islam released a video last Thursday (Nov. 10) speaking out against the backlash that West has been receiving after making a series of antisemitic comments. In the midst of that defense, however, the minister touched upon the rapper’s financial troubles in passing. “Ye lost $2 billion in a few days,” Farrakhan said in the video. “You might wonder, did he really have it? He lost that much that soon?” It wasn’t the first time that he defended the YEEZUS rapper – he had done so in a video in October. “Kanye West don’t bow to the pressure to apologize to anybody,” he stated then. “You said nothing ...
