Daddy Dearest: Paternity Scandals in Music

Managers and artists caught up in baby daddy drama.

Flo Rida - Model Natasha Georgette Williams didn’t waste any time filing a paternity lawsuit against the superstar rapper who supposedly impregnated her — she initiated the suit before she was even out of her first trimester. In 2013, Williams claimed the baby was conceived by the "Right Round" singer and that he needed to pay for all medical bills pertaining to the birth. She also wanted the court to force Flo to undergo a paternity test to make double sure he’s the daddy, and for him to play child support and accept partial custody of the child once he or she is born. (Photo: John Ricard/BET/Getty Images for BET)
