BOSSIP Exclusive: Son Of UGK’s Pimp C Says Stepmom Botched Handling Rapper’s Estate & Screwed Him Out Of Inheritance
Pimp C’s Son Says Stepmom Mismanaging Late Rapper’s Wealth
The son of UGK’s late Pimp C says his own stepmother has mismanaged the rapper’s estate and robbed him of his inheritance.
Chad Butler Jr. filed court docs asking a judge to remove stepmom Chinara Butler as the administrator of his father’s estate because he said she has been “grossly negligent” in handling it.
The 23-year-old said Chinara never distributed portions of Pimp C’s estate to his heirs, and hadn’t bothered to file a yearly accounting of the estate’s property and financial affairs in years.
He’s asked the court to replace Chinara with a temporary administrator. BOSSIP’s multiple attempts to reach Chad Jr. were unsuccessful Tuesday, but in court papers, he described his stepmom as a woman with her hands in the cookie jar who was unfit to handle Pimp C’s affairs.
“Administratix is incapable of properly performing her fiduciary duties due to a material conflict of interest,” Pimp C’s son alleged in court papers, “and administratix has failed to diligently perform her legal duties as dependent administratix, which resulted in harm to the interests of the other beneficiaries.”
But in an exclusive statement to BOSSIP, Pimp C’s widow blasted the suit as a pack of lies designed to tarnish her name, and said she has proof she did nothing wrong and is looking forward to sharing her truth as the case unfolds.
“Since Chad’s passing I have fought tirelessly to keep my husband’s legacy alive, shouldering the vast majority of the liability and responsibility,” Chinara said. “This honor is what I have dedicated the last eight plus years of my life, with little support from the people closest to him.”
The widow said she – and not other relatives or friends – has been Pimp C’s advocate since he died in 2007 from complications of sleep apnea and overdosing on cough syrup.
“From well documented legal battles with labels, to traveling all over the country working to create new projects for Chad’s amazing fans, I’ve given my all to our family,” Chinara added.
Pimp C married Chinara in 2003, when he was 29 and she was 25. Known for his ode to codeine, “Pourin Up,” Pimp C was just 33 years old when he died and did not leave a will, according to court papers.
Chad Jr. said the court removed Chinara as the administrator in 2010 after she allegedly pocketed thousands of dollars that were meant to go to Pimp C’s estate, “lost or misapplied” $150,000 worth of jewelry and claimed to have no idea where other assets from her late husband’s estate were. The son said his stepmom “misapplied or was about to misapply all or part of the estate committed to her care.”
The court appointed another administrator, but when he resigned, Chinara was reinstated, but as a condition of her reappointment, she had to put up a $10,000 bond. But Chad Jr. said she’s back to her old tricks, still hasn’t come up with an accounting of the estate’s assets, and didn’t bother to maintain the $10,000 bond that the court ordered her to.
The son said she hasn’t taken any steps to fix her previous screw ups on Pimp C’s estate, and wants her out.
