T.I. Responds To Lashon Dixon Child Support Claims
Lashon Dixon, the mother of T.I.’s two sons Domani and Messiah, has taken legal action against the rap mogul claiming that he only provides $2,000 a month in child support and that she has a difficult time supporting the boys on this contribution. A reponse to the allegations to StreetCred.com, a website that the rapper is a shareholder in, read in part:
To clarify the recent reports, in addition to the $2000 per month I pay in cash to Lashon Dixon, the mother of my sons Domani and Messiah, I also pay for their private schooling, medical insurance, clothing, food, gifts, birthdays and extracurricular activities. Their extra-curricular activities have included football, basketball, baseball, acting lessons, summer camp, and any other activities that they express a desire to be involved in that will contribute to them leading balanced lives and developing into well rounded individuals. I have also made an attempt to help Lashon with additional payments that have included a down payment to purchase her home, purchase of an automobile for her transportation and other financial obligations. These expenses are documented and are far in excess of the $2000 cash payment that is being paid direct to Lashon. She has chosen not to work and to live 100% from her child support receipts. This is the reason for her difficulties in making ends meet for herself.

Chamillionaire Airing Chamillitary Entertainment’s Dirty Laundry
Chamillionaire posted some communication between his former Chamillitary Entertainment rapper Yung Ro and Koopa, with Ro talking about some of the politics and problems with Cham ignoring his artists in favor of his own material. According to the posted messages, Ro said:You're missing the whole point, look at the history, Cham doesn't let other people drop sh**, still ain't let Fame drop anything, Fame released a mixtape the same time Cham dropped MM3, but you didn't see Cham promote sh**. What did Cham do for Rasaq, nothing, he just kept getting money for himself, that's why Rasaq left to start his own label cause he couldn't do sh** with Cham. And 50/50 knew this and that's why he never signed... and there's nothing wrong with Cham trying to get all the money he can for himself, but if you're gonna have a label and sign people then fu**ing support the people you sign you know... You wanna be all about yourself and tour with just yourself as the only act, not letting Rasaq/Fame do any songs, not inviting Ro, Tony Henry's making his own CD's and own photoshoots for it and selling them on his MySpace, Cham ain't helping him, you just want to drop your mixtapes and albums and nothing else from anybody... again that's all fine and dandy, but then what's the point of having a label and signing people... might as well just be solo right? That's essentially what he is, and appears will always be... Cham is at least part if not most of the problem... HISTORY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF cause like I've said eventually its gotta stop being blamed on everyone else from labels to people, and its gotta be THE COMMON DENOMINATOR.
