Rachel Roy has been granted sole and legal custody of the two daughters she shares with ex-husband Dame Dash.
TMZ reports that Dame didn't show up in court for the hearing. He will now only be allowed to see 15-year-old Ava and 6-year-old Tallulah during supervised visits.
During the bitter dispute over the children both Dame and Rachel trashed each other in the media. She accused him of being a pothead and delinquent father. He countered by claiming Roy threatened him with a knife and had driven drunk with one of their daughters.
In the end the judge in the case sided with Rachel, who also got a three-year restraining order against Dame.
CATANIA, Sicily (Associated Press) — The United Nations refugee agency said Tuesday that it believes more than 800 people drowned when a boat packed with migrants trying to reach Europe sank on Saturday, making it the worst such incident ever in the Mediterranean.
New details of the tragedy were emerging as the U.N. High Commissioner Refugees and other aid agencies interviewed the handful of survivors who arrived overnight in Catania, Sicily.
Survivors put the number of passengers on board the three-deck fishing trawler at 850, according to UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards in Geneva. Only 24 bodies were recovered, in addition to the 28 survivors.
"From available information and the various accounts we've had UNHCR now believes the number of fatalities to have been over 800 making this the deadliest incident in the Mediterranean that we recorded," Edwards told reporters in Geneva.
Among the arrivals overnight were two suspected smugglers, who were immediately detained for investigation of aiding and abetting illegal immigration, reckless homicide and causing a shipwreck.
The newly arrived survivors told UNHCR that the wreck was caused when one of the smugglers crashed the boat against the Portuguese-flagged King Jacob container ship that responded to a distress call, according to UNHCR spokesman Carlotta Sami.
"The survivors said that the person who was steering the boat, their smuggler, was navigating badly, and he did a bad move that made it crash against the bigger ship," Sami said by telephone from Sicily. The ship pitched in the water before finally tipping over, and sinking.
Several hundred people were locked on the lower level, hundreds more were inside a second level and hundreds more were on deck, according to prosecutors.
Sami said the Portuguese ship had previous experience with migrant rescues and praised its efforts, and that of other merchant ships.
While the search continued for survivors and bodies, the depth of the sea where the tragedy took place off the Libyan coast made it unlikely more would be recovered, as is typically the case.
The weekend deaths have jolted the European Union into taking action, with Italy demanding that it not be left alone to shoulder the burden of rescues and that the EU focus on preventing the boats from leaving Libya in the first place.
Combatting the smugglers by arresting the ringleaders and destroying their boats is emerging as a key part of Europe's 10-point proposal for an emergency summit in Brussels on Thursday. Italy has arrested more than 1,000 smugglers, most of them the navigators and not the masterminds, but says it needs help.
Catania prosecutors said the capsizing was due to two factors: The smuggler captain, Mohammed Ali Malek, 27, by mistake rammed his boat into the Portuguese-flagged cargo ship that had come to its rescue. In addition, the migrants themselves then moved around on the overcrowded boat, which was already unbalanced from the collision, making it capsize.
The survivors were brought Tuesday to a migrant holding center in Catania and were "very tired, very shocked, silent," according to Flavio Di Giacomo of the International Organization for Migration.
Sami said all the survivors were men, several of them adolescents. "They are very confused, fragile and scared," she said.
The coast guard, meanwhile, reported that it saved some 638 migrants in six different rescue operations on Monday alone. On Tuesday, a further 446 people were rescued from a leaking migrant ship about 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of the Calabrian coast.
The smugglers use a variety of boats for their crossings, from rubber Zodiac-type boats to wooden fishing vessels and even old cargo ships. They are always overcrowded to maximize the revenue of the smugglers, who charge between 1,000 and 1,500 euros (dollars) for the crossing from Libya, where most trafficking operations originate.
The EU plan calls for closer law-enforcement coordination to trace smugglers' revenue sources, which prosecutors have said often evade traditional bank transfers in favor of informal Arab hawala networks, in which migrants' relatives in Europe pay local brokers for each leg of the journey.
Italy had launched a robust and expensive search-and-rescue mission in 2013 after some 366 migrants drowned off the island of Lampedusa. The politically unpopular Mare Nostrum operation ended last year, and the EU's Frontex border patrol mission took charge. But its limited mandate and resources have prevented it from being effective in saving lives.
The International Organization for Migration says the 2015 rate of migrant deaths in the Mediterranean is much bigger than last year, when a total of 3,279 migrants died.
The number of deaths this year "could well top 30,000," said Joel Millman, spokesman for the Geneva-based organization. "We just want to make sure people understand how much more ... rapid these deaths have been coming this year than last year."
The number of migrant deaths in the Mediterranean already this year is 1,776, according to the U.N. refugee agency, which also estimates that 219,000 people made the crossing last year.

In the minds of most boxing pundits and fans Muhammad Ali ranks above any other fighter to ever lace on a pair of gloves.
With a record that stands at 56 wins (37 knockouts, 19 decisions) against 5 losses, his place in history is etched in stone.Some may argue that Ali's losses scratch him off of the best of all-time list, but that would mean that those who make that argument know little about who Ali fought during his career.
His three wars against Joe Frazier alone would have been enough to make a lesser man hang up the gloves. You also have to take into account that Ali fought way past his prime. Taking unnecessary punishment towards of of his career against Leon Spinks. Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick.
Floyd Mayweather Jr is currently boxing's pound-for-pound champion. With an undefeated record of 47 Wins 0 losses (26 knockouts, 21 decisions), one could argue that Money May is the best of all times. He's won championships in eight different weight classes. On May 2nd he will face the one adversary in Manny Pacquiao that everyone agrees has a legitimate chance of beating him.
In Mayweather's mind he's already the best ever. He makes his argument toESPN 1st Take'sStephen A. Smithas to why he's better than Ali.
Mayweather: No one can ever brainwash me to make me believe that Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali was better than me. No one could ever brainwash me and tell me that. But one thing I will do: I'm going to take my hat off to them and respect those guys because those are the guys. Those are the guys that paved the way for me to be where I'm at today.
Smith: You don't believe that Muhammad Ali was better than you?
Mayweather: Leon Spinks beat him when he had seven fights. They'd never put a fighter in there with Floyd Mayweather with seven fights. So you gonna tell me that it's cool and take punishment and let a man tire himself out from beating you? And then he's basically fatigued, you hit him with a few punches and he go down and quit. And you want to be glorified for that? Absolutely not.
