On Monday, Yung Joc appeared on the Ryan Cameron Show on the V-103 radio station, in Atlanta, to discuss the recent
allegations regarding late or short child support payments, made by the mother of his son, Fatimah Jester.
"My mom, my sister, my dad - everybody told me, you know what I'm saying - protect yourself and I did that," Joc said. "So, what I did, as soon as I got on, I was only ordered to pay $114 a month. And I was like, what the hell is that? Like, who could survive on that? So, I was paying extra money, anyway, because at that time, when I had got on, the court couldn't determine how much money I was gonna make or I was making. So, they was like... well, as far as it looked to them... I didn't have a job. So, I was ordered to pay $114 a month. So, I was paying more."
He said that something came up where more money was required, so they involved attorneys and came to an agreement that Joc would pay her $2,000 a month and that he would take care of any of his son's medical costs, extra curricular activities and any other expenses related to his son.
"I never missed a payment," he told Cameron. "If you consider me not paying on the first and me paying on the third or the fourth being late, then I think everybody in America is late all the time. It is what it is. I pay it. You saw how she said it on the show today, on Porche Foxx [another host on V-103], saying that, well, I'm not saying he don't pay it, he just pay it late. Now, you really gonna take the time out of your day to go on the news and slander my character and say that, you know, I'm a dead beat dad because the child support a few days late. I don't pay it directly to her. I pay it through DHR [Department of Human Resources]. My banker wires the funds right to DHR, they wire the funds to her account. However long that takes, she need to discuss that with them and not put me out up there like that."
To be fair, if I pay my credit card bill one day late, they don't care, they are still going to add finance charges. So, whatever the due dates are, they need to be met. I'm not saying whether or not they are, just commenting on what Joc said. But, a day or two late is still late and payments should be made on time.
Finally, Joc commented that a lawsuit against him had been dropped, but he didn't specify who had filed it and Cameron didn't ask. However, there is only one lawsuit that I know of and that is the one with the
stereo equipment company.
