Gucci Mane Says His Baby Mama Doesn’t Need $20,000 A Month In Child Support, Calls $1,000 Dry Cleaning Expense ‘Suspect’

Gucci Mane is fighting a child support case filed by his baby’s mother Sheena Evans,  and he doesn’t want his financial information released. Plus, he said she doesn’t need $20,000 a month to raise their son Keitheon.

A few weeks ago, Evans filed a suit to get her monthly support payments increased from $2,076 to $20,000, because she believes the rapper’s fianancies have grown significantly since his 2011 prison release.

She also pointed to a report that he spent $1 million on his wedding to Keyshia Ka’Oir as proof that he lives lavishly.

And to challenge those claims, Gucci would have to release financial records, but he’s asked the judge for a pass. That’s because he’s afraid the information would leak to the press and hurt his future business deals during negotiations. The rapper also believes  that Evans leaked the first pieces of news about the child support case.

On top of that, Gucci asked the court to keep his financial information hidden, so it may take awhile for a decision to come back.

And as far as the $20,000 per month child support request, according to The Blast, the rapper called it “suspect” and challenged Evans stating that she spends $1,000 per month on clothes for Keitheon, $800 on dry cleaning, $150 on grooming and $2,800 in extracurricular activities.

As Atlanta Black Star previously reported, the “So Icy” MC wants the judge to throw out Evans’ request entirely. It’s also been reported that in 2011 he was ordered to pay $2,026 monthly based on a personal income of $24,000 a month.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
