In the words of 112’s 90’s jam, “Cupid doesn’t lie”…however, 112’s Q Parker sure did, then got busted and paid the price for it after he chose to “give it a try” with his mistress.
Q- a married Christian brotha- has apparently now come clean with his wife of 15 years, Sharlinda, about the innocent son he allegedly had out of wedlock with a woman named Steele Barnett. How do we know this? Because of Q’s recently file court documents demanding a paternity test for the child, according to Bossip.
Child Support As Hush Money?
It’s just been revealed that Q Parker has been paying child support for the child for several years now, but never had an official blood test done because he did not want his wife and fam’ to find out. But based on his court docs, it seems that his family later learned about the child and mistress and that prior to them finding out, Q’s child support payment arrangement pretty much seemed to act as ‘hush money,’ so the mistress wouldn’t rat him out.
What Q Parker’s Asking Judge To Do Now
Welp, now that the cat’s outta the bag, Q is ready to fight back in court:
Via Bossip: Besides questioning whether the baby was his, Q also filed a petition in court to drastically reduce the amount of monthly child support that he is required to pay. If he is indeed Josiah’s dad, he wants the child support amount dropped from $2,250 a month to $309.27. Q argued in court papers obtained by Bossip that he can’t afford the current child support amount because his income had gone way down. Q claimed in court docs that he now makes $2,500 each month, while his alleged baby mama Steele Barnett was now bringing in more than $8,000. He argued that if he is the father, Steele Barnett should start paying $1,030 a month towards Josiah’s upkeep.
Q’s Spokesman Blasts Q’s Mistress
Q’s spokeswoman said the singer and his family had been dealing with his infidelity and his alleged love child for several years, and have gotten through it with the help of their pastor.“It is unfortunate that the other party is attempting to publicly shame a man who has not only been compliant in working toward mutual resolve, but more importantly, has been dedicated to rebuilding his family through faith and respectfully turning this situation into an opportunity to teach young men the value of family, fatherhood and discipline,” Q’s spokeswoman told Bossip in a statement. “As Q and his wife continue to strengthen their union, family and business, we refuse to let this very private matter inflict anymore pain than it already has on their family and ask that you respect their privacy. Any legal matters associated with this situation will be dealt with through the proper legal channels.”
We know people get caught up sometimes in relationships- that goes for men and women- but it’s very unfortunate when a child is involved, because he/she did not ask to be born under such circumstances. Now that the young child is here and IF Q Parker is determined to be the his biological father, hopefully Q will do right by his youngest son, just as he clearly does right by he and his wife’s son. Best wishes to all of ’em and hopefully this is a lesson well learned for Q.
