It was reported by several news outlets that Compton rapper Roddy Rich and his ex Alexandra Kiser have been in a custody battle in court over their son, which has resulted in Rich having to pay Kiser $24K in temporary child support.
Kiser accused Rich, whose real name is Rodrick Moore, of drug use and not taking care of their child. The payment is ordered to be paid for April, May, and June, which is evenly distributed in three $8K a month increments. According to the reports, Rich will receive credits for future payments for these payments.
Kiser said, “Rodrick Moore is gang affiliated. He has been arrested on a gun charge, domestic violence and regularly indulges in promethazine use all of which are concerns for myself and our son.”
A hearing was scheduled in the custody battle for May 23, but both parties postponed it until August 15. Moore and Kiser will reportedly attend a voluntary settlement conference to handle their issues without a judge.

Tory Lanez dropped off his highly-anticipated Chixtape 5 project, and fans are having all types of nostalgic feels after listening to their favorite artists from the 2000’s feature on samples of their own songs!
The Source Magazine joined forces with Sprayground to curate an exclusive, intimate fan experience with Tory Lanez ahead of the release of the project.
Fargo briefly touched on the disagreement he had with Roddy Ricch when the Compton rhymer accused him of biting his “Die Young” song. “When things like this happens with people like us who already worked together, I’m just expecting a phone call,” Tory added. “I’m not going to do that to an artist I admire. I think he’s really good.”
On the single he used the same beat, and spoke about losing a loved one. But the two artists were able to settle their differences and Tory reassured that there’s no issues between them.
He also spoke about his viral rap beef with Don Q and said they engaged in it for the “politic of the sport.” The host, Miss2Bees, asked him about his thoughts on Dream Doll’s response to him after he referenced her in his diss to the Highbridge rapper. “She was doing it because she was hurt by what I said.” He continued. “It would’ve been dope if the main dope things were real things. But for me as the listener, the way you put it down, and the way shorty wrote it for you is fire. Like the flow and the way you’re delivering it, super fire, A+. I’ve never even seen you spit like this.”
In other words, there’s no harsh feelings and they spoke about it afterwards.
A lucky fan had the opportunity to ask Tory how did the collaboration with T-Pain for the album’s single, “Jerry Sprunger” come about. “Originally I sent it to him but I showed him on a video shoot for another song we had together called ‘Getcha Roll On.’ So we worked together and at the video shoot I played him the song and he did it and sent it back.”
Fans have been reacting on Twitter since midnight.
The fact that Tory lanes sampled all our 2000 favs AND featured the original artists on the tracks….wow. This shit is GREAT #CHIXTAPE5pic.twitter.com/G2QPdl5gDX
Roddy Rich has maintained a seemingly squeaky clean image while working on his rising rap career. He collaborated with the likes of the late Nipsey Hussle, Tyga, Mustard, DJ Marshmello, Young Thug, Post Malone, Future, and more. The Compton rapper is just getting started but unfortunately, he had a recent run-in with the law.
TMZ reports Rich was taken in on Sunday morning after an altercation with his girlfriend. The couple was arguing when he allegedly grabbed her. She didn’t seek medical attention but he was booked and charged with felony domestic violence and later posted a $50K bond.
Roddy Rich recently performed for 92.3 The Real radio station’s Real Street Fest and confirmed that his highly-anticipated project Please Excuse Me for Being Anti-Social is on the way.
