Nate Dogg‘s ex-girlfriend, Shereda Williams, has petitioned the Los Angeles Superior Court to intercede on her behalf so she can get child support for 17-year-old Jayden, the son she shares with the late singer.
According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Williams showed petitions providing for $4,358 per month in child support for the child, which were signed by the late hook king (real name Nathaniel Hale) in 2006.
Two years after Nate Dogg died in 2011, however, the courts ordered that Williams’ payments be reduced to $3000/month. However, due to what Williams is calling a “mistake in the court filings,” she’s at risk of losing all of the child support, and wants the court to petition her baby daddy’s late estate to come up with the funds.
However, this is only adding to the ongoing drama that exists within the late rapper’s estate, which is currently battling it out in court.
When Nate Dogg died in 2011, he died intestate (that is, without a will), and therefore, didn’t have provisions in place for the six children he had with several different women.
What’s more, LaToya Calvin — who was the “Nobody Does It Better” singer’s wife at the time of his death — nominated herself as the executor of the estate, and Nate’s children have been battling her in court ever since, claiming that Nate Dogg was actually looking to divorce Calvin before he died.
Nate’s children provided proof of their claims to the court, revealing that the rapper filed for divorce just 19 days before his death.
A judge has yet to rule on this claim, or any other claim involving the late star’s estate — including Williams’ claim for child support.
Snoop Dogg Shows Love To Nate Dogg On Late Singer’s Birthday
Meanwhile, in better Nate Dogg news, Eminem and the late singer set a new Spotify streaming record in 2022 with their 20-year-old collaboration, “Till I Collapse.”
Chart Data confirmed in a tweet that as of December 15, 2022 the song has now surpassed 1.5 billion streams on Spotify – making it the most streamed non-single in history.
The mega-hit lives on Em’s 2002 album The Eminem Show, which also features the hits “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” “Without Me” and “Sing For the Moment.” “‘Till I Collapse” was never given an official music video or worked at radio.
In 2012 – a decade after its release and one year after Nate Dogg’s passing – the song was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA). And just before the song’s official 20th birthday earlier this year, it was certified a whopping 8x platinum.
