The custody ordeal regarding Nipsey Hussle‘s daughter has come to an end of sorts after a judge granted that the late rapper’s sister will be the girl’s primary guardian. Since the rapper’s death in March, the girl has been with the family of the rapper after claiming mom Tanisha Foster was unfit.

TMZ reports:

Tanisha Foster was in court Monday, trying to regain custody of her 10-year-old girl. Emani has been living with Nispey’s sister, Samantha, since his death last March.

Nipsey’s family was in court and squared off with Tanisha, whom they believe is not fit to care for Emani. The hearing was sealed … but there’s another date scheduled in July.

Tanisha’s lawyer, Larry Lewellyn, tells TMZ he’s working with Nipsey’s family on a visitation schedule that will be in Emani’s best interest.

As for Tanisha … she left the courtroom crying and told us she’s “pissed off.”

Foster’s lawyer is reportedly working out a deal for a visitation schedule that serves the best interest of the daughter.

The mother of Nipsey Hussle‘s daughter is embroiled in a custody battle with the family of the slain rapper. Hussle’s sister, Samantha Smith, believes the girl is better off with her brother’s side of the family, but mother Tanisha Foster vows to do what she must to regain custody of her child.

The Blast reports:

Nipsey Hussle‘s baby mama has arrived to court to battle it out with his family and make sure she will have custody of her 10-year-old daughter.

Tanisha Foster just showed up to court in Los Angeles and we’re told she will make it clear to the judge she wants to see her daughter, Emani.

Tanisha is also going to bring up the fact that she has joint custody of Emani, as was awarded years back when she entered into a custody order with Nipsey.

Along with custody, we’re told Tanisha will be filing for child support and wants the financial assistance to come from Nipsey’s estate.

Outside the courtroom, Foster told the outlet that she’s willing to do whatever is necessary to retain primary custody of her child.

Chance The Rapper and his soon-to-be wife Kirsten Corley are taking legal matters to bring their worlds closer. In new proceedings, the Chicago star and his fiancee changed the child custody and support arrangments prior to their wedding day.

The Blast reports:

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Chance (real name: Chancelor Bennett) and his longtime girl filed court documents in Chicago in the custody case she originally filed in 2016. The two share a 3-year-old daughter, Kensli.

On January 29, the couple filed a joint petition to modify the terms of the 2017 agreement they reached over custody, child support and decision-making authority.

They note, “The parties acknowledge and stipulate that a substantial change in circumstances has occurred such that the financial, decision-making, and parenting time provisions of the parties Allocation Judgment are no longer in the minor child’s best interest.”

The change would appear to be the two are set to get hitched, which would make a custody and support order a little odd.

A hearing in the matter is set for this Valentine’s Day. No wedding date has been set.

Tisha Campbell-Martin is taking a new course in the divorce and custody proceedings regarding her estranged husband Duane Martin. In new court documents, the actress does not want Mr. Martin to have custody of their children.

The Blast reports:

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Campbell-Martin filed a new declaration in the case saying she initially agreed to joint custody because “in the spirit of compromise and love for our sons, I conceded to joint custody rather than allow the Respondent to drag the children into a power struggle.”

But now Campbell-Martin says she does not believe Martin “should have joint custody at all.”

Campbell-Martin says she serves as the children’s primary caretaker. She claims Martin does nothing for the children, saying, “[Martin] has never shown an active interest unless it was for show or social media. When we were together, the Respondent stayed isolated in his room watching TV for hours, much of the time when the children were there. The Respondent leaves the parenting to his 77-year-old mother. The Respondent’s brother does the custody exchange, school drops, medical appointments, and the occasional trip to the park with the dogs.”

The pair is set to meet in court next week.

Floyd Mayweather In Nasty Custody Battle Over Teen Son, Mom Cites Strippers As Bad Influence

Floyd Mayweather has found himself in the middle of a nasty custody battle regarding his 17-year-old son and the mother of the boy. In new court filings, Josie Harris wants her son to return to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, citing that the boy is exposed to strippers and his father’s high-flying lifestyle but Mayweather is preparing his own counter.

The Blast reports:

Mayweather’s baby mama, Josie Harris, recently went to court and filed emergency documents, asking a judge to force The Champ to return their 17-year-old son, Zion, from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

Harris, who has physical custody of their son, claims Zion recently fled her home in Valencia, CA and took off with Mayweather. She says the boy is in his last year of high-school, and is putting his graduation in jeopardy by blowing off class.

She also says the boxer’s lifestyle is not appropriate for a 17-year-old child, especially when he “needs to focus on finishing school,” and is hopefully preparing for college.

Harris points out that her ex is the owner and operator of a strip club in Vegas, The Girl Collection, and is “rarely home to personally supervise the children.” She says he throws “$2 million parties” and frequents strip clubs, and included social media posts from Mayweather of himself hanging out with strippers as examples in her court filing.

The outlet adds that Mayweather isn’t allowing his son to be around the dancers but instead he’s facilitating meetings with the likes of Warren Buffet, Kobe Bryant and more. In a court filing, Mayweather claims his son will flee his mother’s home if he’s returned and will leave in the streets. Because of this, Mayweather is taking care of his son for safety reasons.

Mayweather also cites that he lives a sober lifestyle and seems to insinuate that Harris does not do the same, thus creating an unsafe environment for the teen.

This matter will surely develop over time.

Gloria Govan Scores Legal Win After Judge Denies Full Custody Of Children To Matt Barnes

In the ongoing and increasingly bitter legal battle between retired NBA player Matt Barnes and his ex-wife Gloria Govan, a judge has given the reality show actress a mild win. Barnes has been attempting to get full custody of their twin boys, but that request was denied in court.

The Blast reports:

Attorneys for Barnes were in court today and claimed that Govan has violated a restraining order that is supposed to keep her 100 yeards away from Matt or the kids, except when she has monitored visitations. Our sources say one of the violations — Barnes claims there were four — occurred last week when Gloria showed up for the kids’ football game.

To support his claim, Barnes claims to have photos of Govan with the kids at the football game in violation of the order. He also claims that Govan texted and called the kids on Sunday about the upcoming hearing, also in violation of the order.

Barnes was asking a judge to rule that Govan not be allowed to see the children until a hearing about restraining order takes place.

The judge in the matter said on Monday (Oct. 15) sided with Govan’s legal team in saying that Barnes didn’t have enough evidence to support the request. The former couple is due to meet once again this month in court.

Damon Wayans Jr. & ‘Basketball Wives’ Aja Metoyer In Custody Battle

Damon Wayans Jr. is currently in the middle of a custody battle with the daughter of his mother, Aja Metoyer, and she’s preparing to fight back. Wayans has requested primary custody of the pair’s two teen daughters, which Metoyer, who stars on Basketball Wives, says is a ploy for the actor to pay less in child support.

The Blast reports:

Sources close to Metoyer tell The Blast she’s lawyered up and is prepared to square off against Wayans, who is requesting primary physical custody of their teenage daughters. He claims Metoyer isn’t taking the kid’s education seriously, and believes she’s doing them harm.

However, Metoyer’s legal team tells us they find it “curious” Wayans is making a request for more custody right as he’s also launching a new “lucrative” primetime network show, “Happy Together.”

We’re told Metoyer and her legal team believe Wayans only wants more custody to avoid paying more in child support, because in California child support is commonly established based on the income of the highest earning parent and the percentage of custody they have.

Some might know that Metoyer is the mother of a son she gave birth to in 2013 with Dwyane Wade.
