‘That Ain’t Shii to Him:’ Debate Erupts Online After Rick Ross Agrees to Pay $11,000 In Child Support to the Mother of His Three Children

Rick Ross agreed to pay the mother of his three children Briana Camille $11,000 in child support.

The former couple, which split last year, shares a daughter, Berkeley Roberts, 4, and two sons Billion Roberts, 2, and 1-year-old Bliss Roberts.

This arrangement came after an ongoing child support battle between the pair. According to official documents obtained by TMZ, Ross is also set to pay their children’s health insurance as well as any extracurricular expenses, which totals about $7,560.

In addition to the original payments, the rapper also decided to take on his ex’s legal fees and pay her attorney $25,000. Despite all of the money that Ross has to essentially cash out, it will barely affect him financially because it is being reported that his monthly income is about $585,000, while Camille reportedly makes $142.

As the news began circulating on social media, reactions to Ross and Camille’s child support case were split. Some felt that the “Hustlin” emcee got off very easily, while others expressed how Camille should have gotten more funds.

“That’s fair. I’m sure he’s done more than that…Children are entitled to financial responsibility from both parents. Good job to Rick Ross on seeming to take the higher road.”

“Fair for 3kids & he paid for her attorney… 😩”

“Rick Ross got off super easy compared to what all them other celebrities be having to pay. That’s a win for him.”

“He should be ashamed of himself. That’s all he’s willing to give to support his 3 children. Compared to the money he’s making. She should of hired a better attorney.”

“That seems very low for 3 kids.”

“Y’all must have forgot that child support is to help aid the mother. Y’all must not know the cost of daycare alone if you think this is enough smh, especially When he’s a millionaire.”

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.
