Juvenile - Cash Money Millionaire Juvenile filed court documents in 2012 to determine the legitimacy of his then 13-year-old son, insisting it was for "procedural reasons to get custody." He said at the time, "I hope the test proves that he is mine." The move came after Ju was ordered to pay $160,000 in back child support for his son. (Photo: Cindy Ord/Getty Images for Sirius)

DMX - In 2004, Monique Wayne filed a successful paternity suit against rapper DMX. A couple of years later, X told Sister 2 Sister magazine that Wayne "raped" him after a night at the club, claiming his "d**k be out" when he sleeps. Wayne was not happy with the allegation and filed a defamation lawsuit. A judge ordered DMX to pay $1.5 million for compensatory and punitive damages. Fast forward to 2015, and X is still raking up charges. He was arrested in July 2015 for failing to pay child support.

Busta Rhymes - Busta should have kept it wrapped up on a fateful night in January 1998 when he hooked up with a groupie named Jill Miskelly. Results of a paternity test proved Busta was the father of Miskelly's daughter, Mariah. Despite the fact that the rapper was paying $1,200 a month in child support prior to the test, Miskelly took the Flipmode leader to court and demanded more money.  (Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for VH1 Save The Music)

Lil Wayne - Weezy was disappointed in himself for not earning any nominations at MTV’s VMAs or the BET Awards, and so he vowed to his fans he’d work harder in the future: "Noticed I wasn't nominated nor involved n da MTV VMA's nor da BET awards...I apologize to my fans and I promise 2 work harder if it kills me."

Lil' Wayne - Lil' Wanye already has four kids with four women, and in 2010, it looked like he would have a starting lineup with a fifth. A Missouri grandmother hit Weezy with a paternity suit, alleging that the New Orleans rapper was the father of her 8-year-old grandson. Her case unraveled, though, and Weezy was taken off the hook.  (Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

Rick Ross - In 2012, Tyrisha Childers filed a paternity suit against Rick Ross, alleging the Maybach Music boss was the father of her 3-year-old. Rozay denied the claims, and his legal team responded to the bogus allegations by filing papers stating that Ross never slept with Childers and welcomed a DNA test. Childers disappeared after that.

Pitbull - He has a reputation for being a smooth-talking papi, but Pitbull is a responsible guy at heart. The Miami rapper was paying Barbara Alba $3,000 a month to cover child support for their 9-year-old-daughter, but as Pit's bank balance increased, so did Alba's demands. In a classy move, Pitbull obliged and settled out of court. Even Alba's lawyers complimented the Miami rapper for his swift resolution by saying, "Pitbull is a gentleman. This was resolved amicably."  (Photo: Isaac Brekken/Getty Images for Clear Channel)

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)

Soulja Boy - Diamond Shantaniece Mackey claimed in December 2013 that Soulja Boy fathered her son six years ago.

Chris Rock - A forgetful Hungarian model, a paternity suit and an alleged Kleenex tissue: sounds like the setup of a Chris Rock joke. Unfortunately, however, they're the ingredients that lead to a paternity suit that dogged Rock for over a decade before he settled out of court while still maintaining his innocence. The model in question claimed that Rock date raped her in 1998 and that she became pregnant as a result, but couldn't prove the paternity after two DNA tests cleared Rock. All seemed to be well until the comedian allegedly broke their confidentiality agreement during an interview with Howard Stern, and the model sued him in civil court. (Photo: Mark Davis/WireImage)

Eddie Murphy - After a messy and embarrassing paternity battle with former girlfriend Melanie Brown in 2006, Murphy took claims to his fatherhood very seriously. That's why the actor sued "Brando Murphy," a 20-something stand-up comedian who claims to be his son. While Brando's outrageous claims seem clearly meant to provoke (and promote his own career), Murphy wasn't laughing. Brando ended up dropping the hefty lawsuit in 2014.
