Edited to say: I saw that the video was a fake.

The whole thing is untrue. Just social media nonsense. Sheesh. Does NO ONE research anything anymore - we just repost crap??

Can someone just close this thread??

This kid has a significant presence on both of these platforms, and each of the young ladies involved appear to be trying to establish themselves as "influencers" as well.

I follow several people on IG and TikTok. Wow, I had no idea that was their pay. Good for them!

But the made up antics aren't good. The ones that I followed, they all started out just videoing simple things which they shared and we followers loved it. But those spontaneous moments they captured eventually ran out and I can tell they're now "creating" and "reenacting" moments and scenes just to video them. They're trying too hard. The videos aren't as good as before, IMO. Also, since TikTok has increased the time allotted for video, the quality of the content has gone down.

Yes, I finally saw the posts stating that it was fake. Then I saw one of the young ladies' video. She said that it wasn't true. It was click-bait for lack of a better word.

I saw a similar case on an episode of the TV show "Bones".

I can't imagine that Mariah asks him for any money. She's worth $350 million + and I'd think she'd care more about having as much control as possible over her kids with him.

For one, unless it was rape, they're responsible.

We need to change our welfare/child support laws to put a stop to this crap. Let the Baby Mommas go out and get a job to support themselves AND their kids instead of depending on the taxpayers to support them.
I'm wondering if you have an understanding of how taxes work. The working citizens are required to pay into federal, state, and local city and county tax base. The elected officials determine how these monies are to be spent to provide for the welfare of the citizenry. So we as individuals get no say in how money is spent, feeding the hungry, providing assistance for basic needs, daycare, public school, elder care, rehab, public radio, art, illegal aliens, maintaining empty government buildings, pandemic "stimulus".

A long time ago the powers that be decided it was not a good look for a polite society to have impoverished citizens begging in the street, especially women and children. We once had a code of conduct in which men were expected to take care of their offspring and the mothers of their offspring.

I noticed you said nothing about the baby daddy's getting a job to support their kids.

I know that recent moves that eliminate abortion access in many states are not going to help this problem any.
