“This is a classic case of a good, loving and responsible father who spends over PLN 18,000. dollars a month for a one-year-old daughter, and an eligible woman decides she wants more. My mom and they would lose their minds for $2,000,” Wayans added.

“Do you pay this much money a month and get called a ‘guest’? Do the math. This is an illusion. I will let the lawyers and God do what they do. I will create art from a broken heart. I have nothing but love. Even if it’s bad, it’s good… that’s GOD.”

“All these women should take men to court who pay nothing to their children. And here’s a girl who receives a physician’s salary and claims that it is not enough? I had two children before. I’ve never had this problem. I’m person with heart and a robust sense of responsibility, but I don’t allow myself to be exploited or discredited.
