Rapper Yung Joc came forward yesterday (August 18) to clarify recent allegations made by his seven-year-old sons mother regarding late child support payments.

Speaking to Atlanta radio personality Ryan Cameron, Joc explained the existing arrangement between him and his sons mother Fatimah Jester, just three days after she appeared on a local television news broadcast, Yung Joc was behind on child support payments.

“When I got on, I was only ordered to pay $114 a month because the courts couldnt determine how much money I was gonna make, Yung Joc explained during a live interview on V-103s Ryan Cameron Show. “I was like, What the hell is that? Who can survive on that? As far as it looked to them, I didnt have a job. But I was paying more [than what was ordered]. And something came up one day, and she came to me and said, I think we need to sit down and talk, because I need more money.

“My attorney got with her attorney, I think we did it in a cool fashion, Joc continued. “We came up with an agreement: I was paying $2000 a month, I would take care of all his medical issues, expenses, extracurricular activities, anything to do with my son. And that was the agreement, and I never missed a payment.

A few hours earlier, Jester contacted V-103 personality Porsche Foxx.

While she maintained that a discrepancy existed, she explained that Joc was not behind on child support payments, as had been reported on Friday (August 15).

The issue at hand, she said, was that the payments were not timely. Joc, born Jasiel Robinson, stated in his own defense that what his sons mother is referring to as lateness is a matter of a couple of days, a delay that may simply be caused by how his child support payments are processed.

“I dont pay it directly to her, I pay it through [the Georgia Department of Resources Office of Child Support Services], said Joc. “My banker wires the funds to DHR, they wire the funds right to her account. However long that takes, she needs to discuss that with them, and not put me out there bad like that.

While he says he is more hurt than angered by his former girlfriends actions, Joc did express anger at the media for exploiting the situation and jumping at the opportunity to paint him in a negative light.

In addition to reporting that he owed back child support, which Jester never claimed, the WSB-TV report pointed out only his previous encounters with the law.

“They brought up all the charges I been through, Joc pointed out. “But they never brought up the fact that since I been on, Ive contributed over half a million to charities and I do charitable work every weekyou got cats out here who dont even be with their kids. And it hurts even more because I am a black manyou born into this world as a black man, your backs against the wall. So Im trying to do everything I can to go against the odds that was against me when Im bornand when you look up in the media at stuff like this depicting your character to be just what they stereotype you as, it hurts.
