Scott Storch is as troubled as he is talented. The super producer who has crafted mega-hit records for artists like 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Eve, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and more is being sought by authorities in Florida for failing to pay a court ordered $28,300 to his baby mama according to TMZ.
To make matters worse, Storch failed to show up in court to explain why he hasn't paid the money. The judge in the case has issued an arrest order directing cops to drag him into court when they can track him down.
Storch is also in trouble for skipping out on a $4,000 hotel bill in Beverly Hills, California. Police there are also looking for him.
This isn't Storch's first time having financial problems. He got hooked on cocaine in 2006 and incredibly blew a $30 million fortune in six months on drugs, cars, boats and homes.
"[I had] 15 to 20 cars at all times," Storch said in a 2009 interview with MTV. "That's not smart. I would take one of 15 half-million-dollar cars I owned and go to the mall and spend that much money. Stupid, stupid stuff. It's like it didn't make a difference. They were ego investments. I would have been great with three or four cars! I didn't need a 117-foot boat."
Hopefully he will be able to get his life back together.

The Gucci Mane/Young Jeezy beef is turned up once again. The two rappers have feuded for years. Gucci accused Jeezy of trying to have him killed back in 2005 when five men burst into an apartment of a female friend Gucci was visiting. Gucci shot and killed one of the men, Henry Lee Clark III, but escaped prosecution when the DeKalb County district attorney's office, lacking sufficient evidence to try him, dropped the charges.
Today on Twitter, Gucci taunted Jeezy about Clark's death.
Gucci also invited The Snowman to come to his Trap God release party to clear up any issues and said he would physically put in work on the CTE boss.
"What up I would like to invite Young Jeezy & any other sucker to my TRAPGOD release party at DOA 10/17 We can address any unresolved issue," Gucci wrote on Twitter. "I Radric Davis aka Guwap bet 100K I can and will beat Jeezy a$$."
The 1017 Brick Squad boss said T.I. could join in if he wanted to.
"No Disrespect to Clay but if Tip wanna get into it he can," wrote Gucci.
This beef had quieted down, but picked up steam again in the last week when Gucci appeared on The Breakfast Club and said he had no respect for Jeezy.
Jeezy responded in an interview with Big Boy's Neighborhood a few days later by referring to Gucci as "Shawt Bus Shawty" and called him "retarded."
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail in this situation, but given their history of beef that may not happen.
Check out Gucci Mane's new diss record "Truth" aimed at Jeezy below.

A Missouri couple is suing their doctor after he decapitated their baby during birth, then tried to cover it up by shoving the baby back inside the mother's birth canal and performing an emergency c-section.
Arteisha Betts and Travis Ammonette, of Florissant, filed a 10-count complaint in St. Louis County Circuit Court last month against Dr. Gilbert Webb, Dr. Susan Moore, Midwest Maternal & Fetal Medicine Services and Signature Medical Group.
The couple claims they were told by Moore in February 2011 that the baby would have to be delivered by caesarian because his abdomen was too large for a normal birth, according to the New York Daily News.
Betts went into labor 28 weeks into what is normally a 40-week pregnancy.
When the couple arrived at St. John's Mercy Medical Center in March 2011, Dr. Webb refused to perform a C-section.
St. John's Mercy Medical Center
The complaint indicates Webb "would not agree" to the Cesarean and "would only agree to deliver her baby by way of attempted trial of vaginal delivery," according to Florissant.Patch.com.
"Believing that she had no other choice than to agree to a trial of vaginal delivery, plaintiff Arteisha Betts consented to a trial of vaginal delivery under duress and protest," according to the complaint.
During the procedure the baby's head delivered in the first stage, but in the second stage his body got stuck. Webb applied pressure trying to pull the baby out and "separated decedent Kaden Travis Ammonette's head from his cervical spine."
"Blood from the arteries and veins in decedent's neck shot out, splattered and/or spilled out into the labor and delivery room in plain view of Betts and Ammonette," according to the complaint.
In an attempt to cover up what he had done, Webb pushed the baby back inside Betts' birth canal and called for an emergency C-section. Webb was in such a hurry he started cutting Betts' stomach before the anesthesia had fully kicked in causing her great pain and suffering.
During the C-section Webb "surgically and completely removed" the baby's head from his neck and torso. Webb then tried to cover up the baby's wounds before handing him to his parents, but it's not clear in the complaint how he did this.
Betts got a tattoo of her sons hand prints honoring him.
The couple accuses the defendants of wrongful death and negligence and is seeking unspecified damages.
