MOS DEF ORDERED TO PAY UP

After filing for divorce from his wife Maria Yepes-Smith, rapper/actor Mos def was ordered to pay $10,000 a month in child support for their 7- and 8-year-old daughters.

Since January 1, Mos Def, real name Dante Smith, has been short on the payments by roughly $2,000.

“It’s the best he can do under the circumstances,” said Steven Goldfeder, Mos Defs lawyer. “He has several children. He’s always provided for them.”

Mos Def, who has three other children, stated that he is the only one providing for his children and believes that the payments should be reduced due to an agreement with Yespes-Smith for the children to be home schooled.

“I’ve been seeing him in these commercials with Bruce Willis for his new movie,” said Karen Blaustein, Yepes Smith lawyer. “I’m sure he made enough money to pay his child support for his 7- and 8-year-old daughters.”
