| No Love for Faizon. |
The comedian's arch rival 50 Cent once again trolls his financial burdens. I didn't catch this but I am starting to realize that 50 has issues with Black people.
50 is the biggest Black entertainer out here cooning.
Faizon Love is a comedian and actor who had roles in Friday, The Player's Club, Elf, The Parent 'Hood and numerous others projects was held in Hillsborough County, Florida on the allegations of failing to pay child support.
The 58 year old entertainer is out of jail after serving 16 days in a child support case, following a contentious hearing in a Hillsborough County courtroom.
Love, known for roles in "Friday," "Elf" and "Couples Retreat," was arrested in California just over two weeks ago after failing to surrender to police on two contempt of court charges.
During the nearly two-hour hearing, attorneys sparred over child support payments as Love appeared in court seated in a wheelchair.
At the center of the dispute was whether Love is hiding income from Tiffany Lee, the mother of his child.
Love repeatedly expressed frustration as he defended his record as a father, telling the court, “I’ve always taken care of my daughter.” He added that he recently saw his daughter and gave Lee money when she dropped her off.

His attorneys argued he is struggling financially, and Love testified that he is living with a friend who pays his bills. When asked about the balance in his bank account, Love said, “Right now, probably $99.”
Lee’s attorneys painted a different picture, arguing Love earns about $20,000 per comedy show and does several shows in a weekend. Meanwhile, Love’s attorney denied that Love has performed recently.
Lee testified that Love has threatened to stop working altogether to keep her from collecting child support.
“He’s not making payments and hasn’t, and he told me he’s going to stop working and canceling shows so I won’t get anything,” Lee told the court. “It’s not as if he was providing before.”
The hearing grew even more heated when Love interrupted Lee’s testimony to ask about her citizenship. Lee told the court the comment echoed previous threats.
“He referenced that he was angry and he would have ICE raid my home for continuously taking him to court,” Lee testified.
After nearly two hours of testimony, the judge ruled the 16 days Love already served was sufficient punishment. The judge suspended the remainder of a 180-day sentence and ordered Love to provide updated financial records to the court.
Love now has until July 1 to compile an accurate financial affidavit about his income and what he can pay, or he could be sent back to jail.
