Diamond Brown, the mother of Chris Brown’s daughter, Lovely, is seeking an increase in child support, arguing that the $7,000 she currently receives each month is not enough. She believes the singer should pay at least $30,000 monthly and is seeking access to his financial records to determine how much he earns and what he can afford to pay.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the dispute has continued for several months, with the singer’s business managers objecting to her requests for financial information. Their objections have reportedly made it difficult for her to obtain the records she needs to support her request for higher payments. She believes the information is necessary to present a clearer picture of his financial situation before the court.
As part of her legal effort, she subpoenaed his business managers, asking them to provide details about his income and other financial records. However, they challenged the request, leaving her without the information she says she needs. She argues that knowing his actual earnings would help establish how much he can reasonably contribute to their daughter’s expenses. Without those records, she believes it is difficult to determine whether the current arrangement reflects his ability to provide financial support.
The mother claims the singer has an estimated net worth of $50 million, making his current monthly payments insufficient in her view. She also told the court that she has only about $10,000 to her name. Based on their financial circumstances, she believes he should contribute at least $30,000 each month toward raising their daughter. Her request would increase the reported monthly support by $23,000 from what she currently receives.
Meanwhile, the dispute has drawn reactions from the mothers of his other children. Following the court filing, they reportedly spoke out against her actions and defended his parenting. They described him as a good father who takes care of his children, pushing back against the criticism surrounding his child support arrangements.
The child support dispute comes as the singer faces renewed public scrutiny over his past. He recently pushed back against a journalist who accused him of continuing to abuse women, challenging the claims and asking for evidence. The exchange sparked further discussion about his history of allegations and controversies.
