Child Support Chronicles: T-Pain

So, T-Pain can buy big ass chains but he's a stiff when it comes to coughing up the dough for his kid!

T-Pain reportedly visited his lawyer last week to attend a mediation session to resolve a child support claim. His child's mother, Elisa Hood, claims she was scraping by on $2,000 a month in support. T-Pain reportedly earns $15 million a year, owns 40 cars and that $400,000 diamond-studded "Big Ass Chain."

His attorney offered up another $500 per month, bringing the total to a whopping $2,500 for Pain's 2 year old son, King.

Here's the kicker though... T-Pain is married to another woman and had other kids while he was out procreating. (Nagging question: WHO WOULD SLEEP WITH T-PAIN? Doesn't he look like he might smell like a plastic-covered couch in the summertime after your big booty aunt gets up to go make a sammich?) Anyway...

A court date to resolve the child support issue is pending.

So, how does this stack up to other recent child support cases in the world of hip hop?

• Nas --> Kelis = $44,000 per month (one child)
• Russell --> Kimora = $40,000 per month (that's 20 grand for each kid) + a new car (worth at least $60,000) every 3 years
• Diddy --> Kim Porter = ~$150,000 lump sum (for Christian) + $20,000 per month, but then she had the twins! Let's just say no one is going hungry.
• Diddy --> Misa Hylton-Brim = ~$21,000 per month* (one child) *a legal battle between the two dropped the monthly payments from ~$35,000

Come on Pain! You can sell a couple of those Roger Troutman auto tune things for a few bucks, can'tcha?
