ATLANTA (AP) — The mother of two of T.I.'s children has sued the rapper for more child support, claiming she is having a hard time supporting the boys with the $2,000 a month he is providing.
Lashon Dixon, 29, and T.I., 27, have known each other since they were teenagers and dated before he reached rap megastar status. Their boys are ages 7 and 8.
Dixon said she wants a court to order a stipend that is equal to the rapper's success. A telephone call and e-mail to T.I.'s publicist at Atlantic Records was not immediately returned Thursday.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, is currently serving 1,000 hours of community service and will afterward serve a year in prison on federal weapons charges.
He also has two sons with his fiancee, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, of the defunct R&B group Xscape. The couple also had a daughter who died shortly after childbirth in 2007.
Dixon says T.I. currently gives her about $2,000 a month to care for the boys, but now she wants to schedule a more stable stipend that is commensurate with his success. Both parties appeared in Fulton County Superior Court on Thursday.
In March, T.I. is expected to be sentenced to at least a year in prison after he pleaded guilty to federal weapon possession charges.
