All Star
DMX
$1.23 Million
At one point DMX owed over $1 million in back pay child support. X had neglected to pay the monthly installments for nearly 10 years, leaving the payments to just rack up. X finally spoke on the matter, "Yes I am [behind in child support]", DMX told Dr. Phil. "The reason being, at the time I was making $13 million a year. So if I’m making $13 million a year then I can pay that. I haven’t made that in about 10 years so of course I’m behind in payments. But the children are taken care of."
Juvenile
$160K
After falling behind $160K in child support Juvenile started to question the paternity of his 13-year-old son. After being active in the child's life for 13 years, the rapper filed court docs in Louisiana stating that he never established paternity when his son was born and didn't sign the birth certificate at the time.
Scarface
$123K
Scarface sat in jail from October 2010 to August 2011after failing to cough up $123K in child support. Scarface spoke on the matter stating, "In the system, when your kids get grown and you pay all this money direct and it's time for the money to stop being issued out, they gonna want to appeal because there ain't no more money coming in no more," he said to "RapFix" host Sway. "So they may go and say you ain't pay nothing, so that how it go."
Flavor Flav
$111K
Flavor Flav nearly went to jail after falling behind in child support payments totaling up to $111,186. The rap icon ended cutting a check for $25K, avoiding jail time. However, Flav now has to pay an additional $1,200 on top of his already existing payment until he has cleared the debt. Flav spoke on the matter stating, "No matter what in the media, I am a good father to all 7 of my children. I'll never let my family do without!"
