Popular American R&B singer cum Hollywood actor Tyrese Gibson has been ordered to pay the sum of $650,000 to his ex-wife and her Lawyer in his ongoing child custody hearing.
The order was issued on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, as the actor was in Fulton County court to continue his child support struggle with ex-wife Samantha Lee Gibson.

Back in August, Tyrese refused to pay the sum $10,000 per month to his ex, as he believed the amount was “excessive.”
“He claims Samantha doesn’t need that much, because she makes good money on her own,” TMZ notes. The Fast & Furious actor has also alleged the judge was racist toward him.
