Rick Ross Settles in Court for $11,000 per Month of Child Support

After months of litigation, Rick Ross has agreed to pay $11,000 a month in child support. No, not to Lastonia Leviston, their child has already outgrown child support. Nor to Tia Kemp, although her child support did have to be renegotiated in 2018. Nor, once more to Lira Mercer, though the two were at one point engaged. Rick Ross can breathe a sigh of relief that no children came from that relationship. This time Rick Ross has settled with his most recent ex-girlfriend Briana Camille.

Rick Ross exits a Familiar Courtroom

Last year, Rick Ross entered a familiar battleground. This year, he exits a little poorer once again. For the third time, Ross has been sued for child support payments.

Ross’ first child, Toie Roberts, is the daughter of Lastonia Leviston. Although Ross and Leviston never made headlines for child support disputes, they certainly had other issues.

Then, Ross met Tia Kemp and they had a son named William Roberts III. When things went south, Tia sued for child support back in 2007 and won. However, as the rapper soared in popularity and wealth Tia felt that he was no longer paying his fair share and sued successfully for an increase in monthly payments in 2018.

In 2015 , less than a year after publicly dating, Ross announced his whirlwind engagement to Lira Mercer, which promptly fell through (perhaps fortunately) before they could have a child together.

Ross had been dating his most recent girlfriend, Briana Camille, for two years. In that timeframe, the couple had two children together, Berkley Hermes Roberts and Billion Leonard Roberts.

Sadly, they split in 2019 and were unable to come to a personal agreement on child support. Both claimed to desire paternity tests, but in the end it was Briana who brought Ross to court. During the trial, Briana surprised the world by revealing she was pregnant with Ross’ fifth child, Bliss Allah.

This result of this particular lawsuit was a flat $11,000 per month, plus up to $3,000 more per month to cover extracurricular expenses, once Briana has spent $7,560. In addition, Ross was order to pay for the children’s health insurance and Briana’s legal fees.

Richer Than He’s Ever Been

Thankfully, Ross has had a bought of extreme financial success. Through a combination of musical mastery and business-savvy, Ross’ reputed income is upwards of $585,000 per month. Perhaps his current financial status has inspired his most recent album, Richer Than I’ve Ever Been, which is reported to come out sometime this year.

Despite hefty child support payments, Ross is certainly rich in family. Regardless of Ross’ current status with their mothers, he clearly cares very deeply for his children. For example, he celebrated William’s sixteenth birthday by giving him his very own Wing Stop, cementing his place in the family business.
