Chris Brown’s child support dispute with Diamond Brown has hit another sticking point: access to the singer’s financial records.
As spotted on TMZ, Diamond, the mother of Brown’s daughter Lovely, is seeking his financial records as she pushes for at least $30,000 a month in child support. According to court documents obtained by the outlet, she subpoenaed Brown’s business managers, who objected to producing the records.
Diamond says she currently receives around $7,000 monthly and has only $10,000 to her name. She estimates Brown’s net worth at $50 million and argues that his support payments should be higher. According to the report, Diamond says she needs the documents to establish Brown’s actual income and what he can afford to pay. The two sides remain at an impasse over the records.
Her push for increased support predates the latest report. According to USA Today, an October 1 declaration requested at least $30,000 monthly, plus full coverage of Lovely’s insurance, medical expenses, tuition and extracurricular activities. She also sought $350,000 in attorney and accounting fees. In that filing, Diamond reported earning about $1,500 a month as a social media influencer and esthetician and said she was falling further into debt.
Brown previously challenged her account on Instagram. In an October 5 response reported by iHeartRadio, he claimed he pays $10,000 a month and covers housing, two vehicles, schooling and medical expenses. “I LITERALLY PAY FOR EVERYTHING,” he wrote, adding in another post that his payments were documented.
Parenting time is another point of contention. Diamond alleged in her declaration that Brown had not asked to see their four-year-old daughter in six to seven months. Brown, meanwhile, accused her of keeping him away from Lovely. The disagreement also drew public responses from the mothers of Brown’s other children. Nia Guzman, Ammika Harris and Jada Wallace defended him online, saying he provides for his children.
Diamond disputed Brown’s version in her own video response. As reported by XXL, she said she had invited him to events for Lovely and shared messages she said went unanswered. “How am I not allowing you to have time with Lovely?” she asked. Diamond acknowledged blocking him but argued that he could reach her through other channels.
She also challenged his claim of paying $10,000 monthly. While expressing gratitude for the home and two vehicles he secured for her and Lovely, Diamond said she was responsible for their monthly payments and argued that those contributions did not cover everything involved in raising their daughter.
The latest report leaves the financial records issue unresolved, with Diamond still seeking documentation to support her request for increased payments.
