Int’l Players Anthem (I Choose You)
Eeny meeny decisions, with precision I pick or
Make my selection on who I choose to be wit', girl
Don't touch my protection, I know you want it to slip
But slippin' is somethin' I don't do, tippin' for life
That's like makin' it rain every month on schedule
Let me tell you, get your parasol umbrella
'Cause it's gonna get wetter
Better prepare ya for the C support
She supposed to spend it on that baby, but we see she don't
- BIG BOI
How can you be mad at a baby mama trying to get the bag?
I am not sure how verse you are in pop-culture, so I will break down the gossip headlines: Eliza Reign, an Instagram model (whom I am not very knowledgeable about), has a child that she shares with the rapper Future. Eliza has been in the headlines recently since it was alleged that she asked for around $53K in child support. She was previously award $3,200 a month. Future, has six other children from past relationships.
This was a hot topic on Instagram and I looked at a few comments and I found myself annoyed at some of the comments I was reading. “It don’t cost $53K to raise a child… she don’t need all that money… it don’t take that much to raise a child”.
Here is my take: A woman has a child by a man who is wealthier than her. The child support should reflect his income. The child should not be punished for the parents not being together. So, the child should have the same resources as if he/she would have if the child lived with both parents: living in a safe community, access to a nanny, access to private schools, tutors, music lessons, traveling, health insurance, college fund, savings and more. I would question the mom if she didn’t go for the most money she could get.
It is a piss poor excuse for a man or society to shame the mother as using the baby for a meal ticket. The man understands the consequences of having sex without a condom. If you don’t want to have a baby, you take the necessary precautions. Get your money Eliza. Make sure that baby is set for life.
When I started writing this, I thought I was going to research child support laws and add some complexity to the topic. But nah, just get your money sis. Future – invest in condoms or plan b.
