"Fast and Furious" star and R&B singer Tyrese Gibson arrested over Ksh. 9.4 million in child support

Gibson, who is a father to 5-year-old daughter Soraya with Lee, attended the court in the judgement of judge Kevin Farmer in a Fulton County, Ga., amid his ongoing child support battle with his ex-partner.

According to reports, the judge has had enough of Gibson not agreeing to pay the $10,000 (Ksh. 1.2 million) a month that he was ordered to start paying last April.

As a result, Gibson was found in contempt of court by Judge Farmer for his failure to make payment. He was led from the courtroom in handcuffs.

As per the reports, Judge Farmer said that Gibson could stay out of jail if he paid $73,000 (Ksh. 9.4 million) which included $7,500 (Ksh. 965,000) for Lee's legal bills. 

TMZ also claims that the "Sweet Lady" singer is making arrangements to get the owed debt off his shoulders.

On Sunday, Gibson told his Instagram followers that his arrest might be imminent in a post wherein he also attacked judge Farmer and griped about the fairness of the family court system toward fathers.

“Samantha’s lawyer Adam Gleklen and William Alexander who are besties with the judge Kevin M Farmer [ collusion ],” Gibson wrote in the now-deleted post.

“It’s pretty clear that they hate my guts, but I must remind them and everything about my life and my success. I’ve worked my ass off since I was 14 years old to get here,” he added.

“#FamilyLawCourts are the WORST TOWARDS FATHERS.”

Gibson and Lee were married in 2017. She filed a complaint for divorce in 2020, and the two later released a joint statement in which they called the split “a painful and significant development in our lives.”

In addition to his daughter with Lee, Gibson has a teenage daughter, Shayla, with his ex-wife Norma Mitchell.
