    All a part of Dan Fegan's master plan to rebuild Dwight's brand.

    Seems like a lot of money. Assuming similar deals with the other 7 women, over the course of 18 years this is about $17.2M total in child support payments if he doesn't have any more children. Compare that to one divorce which would probably have cost him closer to $230M assuming he makes about $27M a year over a 15 year career. Lesson here is, don't get married and have kids out of wedlock.

    I remember when local rapper Slim Thug attempted to recruit Dwight via Twitter in the summer of 2013, he mentioned the state of Texas having some sort of cap on child support as a reason to come to Houston. I'm not sure how this would work since the women are in other states like Florida.

    You get punished for diciplining your kid? Thats some weak a$$ ****. If dwight constantly whipping in the face and what not then thats child abuse but a few times in the buttocks some weak shiznitz. American kids will never learn dicipline or respect.

    I mean.... he shouldn't have agreed to it. Easy to say she's a thot or whatever and that 10k is ridiculous -- but it was (allegedly) the price he was willing to pay to keep the kid a secret. His bad.

    Pulling out?? lolol Stop raw dawging these chics.
    Not many of us know what it's like to be a rich and famous athlete and almost everywhere they go they can have the pick of the thot litter. So having lots of sex will come with the territory, but guys have to stay strapped man. If you're rich, your kid deserves to be rich too in the courts eyes. It's the price you pay man.....Strap up. You don't have to be married, you can sleep with as many women you want....if you're going bring a child in the world with women you barely know, it comes with a price tag and a life time of responsibility.

    $120k sounds like a lot, but when the guy who impregnated you makes $27 million a year, it doesn't. Kid gets a share of his daddy's empire. If he really only paid half of that, well that's a shame.

    Shouldn't the kid of Howard get the best opportunities in life? The best schools and education and opportunities?

    Yep, don't feel bad for him in the slightest. He's intelligent enough to know that he has the choice to have sex with these women with or without protection.

    Now getting in trouble for disciplining his child with a belt.. come on now. I bet there were a lot of children growing up who have experienced the same types of discipline and are better for it.

    You want to look into child abuse? My father used to make me kneel in the kitchen on my knees and hold my arms straight out. If I leaned or started to fall asleep he'd whip me with a bamboo stick or whip me with a belt. Tiles weren't actually too bad when you compare them to carpet.. that stuff digs into your knees after 20-30 minutes. (father has been in jail since the late 90's, for different reasons other than borderline child abuse)

    My filipina friend told me about her child hood, she said that she had the a similar punishment but she had to kneel on uncooked rice and have eggs on the back of her knees so if she moved or leaned the eggs would crack and that would add on more minutes to the time kneeling. Plus there were plates that you had to hold..

    Anyways, trust me a belt is nothing compared to half the things parents do to their children and call it fair punishment. I know American kids (whatever race, doesn't really matter) where their parents ground them from phones/computers and they end up going crazy and make death threats (etc).

    She didn't try, she succeeded.

    At some point it is on him. What is this, his 8th or 9th child all with different women. We can call the mom names and she may very well be a good digger but he agreed to it AND this isn't his first radio.

    Dwight.... Use protection or at a minimum get a vesectomy.

    First, Howard wasn't punished. Second, here is the doctor's report.

    TMZ Sports has obtained documents from the Dept. of Children and Families (DCF), summarizing the findings of the doctor who examined Braylon. It says, "Dr. Kesler noted Braylon to have a linear bruise and patterned abrasions consistent with the history given by Braylon of being struck with a belt numerous times by his father."

    The report goes on to say the injuries were "consistent with Braylon being struck with the buckle end of the belt ... with excessive force, resulting in soft tissue injuries such as bruising and abrasions."

    And the report indicates Dr. Kesler found the injuries lasted longer than 24 hours and were "consistent with a medical diagnosis of physical abuse."


    If this is true, do you think being 'struck with the buckle end of a belt with excessive force' is proper discipline?

    I just have a hard time imagining Dwight mad enough to do something like that...

    This would be on any new kids conceived while here. He's f***ed on those he made in FL.

    Dwight should have paid women to get their tubes tied something like 10-15k and get at it whenever he pleased. Now I know womens' ability to reproduce is worth more than that...I am assuming he would be looking for dumb chicks looking for a one-time cash-in.
