Later, she filed a paternity lawsuit against him, in which along with settling on the paternity of her son, she asked for child support. In 2003, the judge ruled that Scarface was indeed the father of her child and asked him to pay her $3,500 a month for their son. In 2013, it was found that he hadn’t paid a single penny towards child support, which led to the court issuing an arrest warrant in his name. However, the authorities couldn’t nab him for more than two years as no one knew where he was. In October 2015, he was finally arrested by police after Wiley found out that he was about to attend BET Hip Hop Awards. He was taken into custody just moments after he had accepted the “I Am Hip Hop” award at the show. He was ordered to pay $482,190 to secure his release from jail. The components of the payment included $402,500 in back child support with 12% interest that amounted to $48,300, $20,144 in lawyer’s fees, and $11,246 she had to pay a private investigator to track him down.
