In other news, Mathew Knowles is back in the news and for all the wrong reasons.  Knowles is denying claims that he's a deadbeat dad.  According to TMZ he's been late a couple of times with child support payments for his son, but on paper it looks like he didn't pay at all.

His baby moma Alexandia Wright is claiming that he owes $24,000, which incidentally is for two months worth of payments, and he's allegedly also already late on December.

Knowles and Wright conceived their son in 2009, during his marriage to Tina Knowles.  On the issue, Ms. Wright released a statement to RadarOnline in August saying she's done everything she can to keep it out of the courts.  Adding, "My family and I have exhausted every non-legal avenue to urge Matthew to be a responsible father and to follow the stipulated judgment we reached together [regarding child support]."

Finally, Lil Wayne’s ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Wright was arrested in Collage Park, Georgia earlier this week. RollingOut.com broke the story that the 30-year was taken into custody for failing to pay outstanding parking tickets and has since been released.

The whole thing was a misunderstanding according Toya’s manager Corey Blackwell, who said,

“[The arrest was] based on something that was paid for but that wasn’t cleared out of the system. We’re currently going over it with the lawyers.”

Toya took to Twitter and said her piece on the matter.  For more details on all of the above press play to hear Tha Wire now.
