Ms. Smith is looking for more child support from Future, The Jasmine Brand breaks down what is going on.
Jessica Smith, mother of Future’s son born in 2002, filed suit against the rapper back in early 2013. She accused him of lying about his true net worth to keep his child support payments down. He was paying $1,662 based off his claim he brought in $16k a month from work. She said his actual income was in excess of $50k and demanded the child support be increased.
The case was eventually settled and an agreement of $2800 a month was agreed to, but now Ms. Smith wants more.
Jessica headed back to court and sued Future blasting the rapper for being a bad father. She explains that the $2,800 a month in support isn’t sufficient. Jessica points out that his music career has skyrocketed and his income has increased substantially.
Also, she accuses Future of neglecting their son and failing to maintain a meaningful, loving relationship with him. Jessica claims that their son suffers from emotional and behavioral issues stemming from Future’s neglect as a father, coupled with the exposure of his father’s grandiose lifestyle in the media. As a result their son is in need of behavioral and clinical therapy to address the emotional trauma that he is suffering due to him under-performing in school and is in need of specialized tutoring.
Ms. Smith is now looking for at least $15k a month in support. Future hasn’t responded to the case and the judge has yet to rule.
