Sean “P. Diddy” Combs has a message for the word: He’s not a deadbeat dad. The Bad Boy Entertainment overlord has lashed out at an appeals court ruling that slapped him with what’s believed to be the highest child-support payment in New York state history, promising to appeal and calling the decision an assault on his character.
Last month, the New York State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division ordered Diddy to increase his monthly checks from $5,000 to $21,782 to former flame and fashion stylist Misa Hylton-Brim for the care of their 11-year-old son, Justin.
“It’s not about money. I don’t care how much money I have,” Combs groused to the Associated Press. “If you come to me and say I don’t take care of my child, I’m going to take care of that to the end.”
