Rapper & Social Media Star In Legal Battle Over Paternity Of Baby Girl

The woman who said she bore rapper Future’s baby daughter last year has asked the courts to sanction him for alleging that she’d lied to the judge in their paternity case.

Future contended in court papers that his one-time lover Eliza Reign committed “fraud” by lying in court papers that she was indigent and couldn’t afford filing fees because she didn’t have a job. He claimed she did work, had bank accounts and had a new SUV. Future said Reign’s legal moves amounted to perjury and asked that the state Attorney General investigate.

But Reign fired back this week, saying that she was right to claim indigency in her paternity and child support case against the “Life Is Good” artist. She admitted that she did have bank accounts, but they had nominal amounts like $4 and $9 in them or were in the negative. The threshold for claiming indigency in Florida is having less than $2,500.

Reign also said she doesn’t own her car but leases it, and when it comes to her income, she takes in small fees for social media posts but hasn’t worked steadily since baby daughter Reign was born. The mom included her bank records and lease info in the motion to bolster her contentions.

Future has filed the flurry of court documents accusing Reign of fraud, asking a judge to force her to get a mental health exam, claiming she referred to her daughter as a “check baby,” and filed a defamation suit against Reign where he accuses her of plotting to have a rich man’s baby. Reign said Future’s legal maneuvers were designed to threaten her and intimidate her into taking a lowball child support settlement.

“…The only fraud relating to this matter is being perpetrated by the respondent (Future), who is asking to have the mother held in contempt, criminally sanctioned and to have her case dismissed because of these baseless and unsupported allegations,” Reign’s court docs – which were obtained by BOSSIP, state.

Eliza sued Future last year over paternity and child support for her daughter, who will be one year old this Spring. Eliza said Future has never met the baby, but she wants him to be part of the tot’s life if he acts in her best interest. She also asked the judge to consider a higher child support amount based on Future’s high net worth.

But Future fired back, asking the judge to put a gag order on the case to stop her from talking about it, and filing a motion to force the mom to take a psychological investigation.

Reign also blasted Future for reportedly raking in $19.5 million last year but failing to pay a cent towards the baby, Reign, nine months.

Reign said she’d give Future a month to withdraw his motion accusing her of fraud. If he didn’t she’d file hers with the courts.

A judge hasn’t yet ruled on the case.
