Antonio Cromartieraked in millions of dollars as a star NFL defensive back during his 10-year career, but that's not stopping him from putting his mom out on the street.
TMZ reports that Cromartie has given written notice to his mother, advising her that she will be evicted on August 15, from the home he bought for her in 2007 unless she comes up with the $2,310 owed in back mortgage payments.
This situation started to spiral out of control in February when Cromartie informed his mom that she would have to start forking over the$700.00a month mortgage payment.
She refused, arguing that since he gifted her the home he should continue making the payments.
Both sides refused to budge leading to the current mess.
Cromartie's little sister, LaQuinta Gardner, told TMZ that her family is angry with her brother over the eviction notice her mom received on Thursday, August 11.
She has started a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise the funds.
Cromartie might be having cash flow problems. He has at least 12 kids by 8 different women. The last 2 kids were born in May after he had a vasectomy. In 2010 theNew York Jetsgave him a$500,000advance so he could catch up on child support payments.
His last year in the NFL was 2015. He was cut by the Jets in February. It's possible another team could pick him up, but training camps have already started and at age 32, he's on the down side of his career.

36-year old Monica Mares was 16 when she gave her infant son, Carlos, up for adoption. The boy's adoptive parents changed his name and raised his as Caleb Peterson.
19-years later, Peterson met his biological mom. The two became romantically involved and have decided to get married.
Mares believes Peterson will be a great father to her other 9 children.
"At first I told Carlos that, 'I'm sorry, I don't know how you're going to react to this, but I'm your mom and you're my son' and I'm falling in love with him," Mares told The Daily Mail. "He said 'Are you really?' I said 'Yes, I am." And he said, 'You know what? I was scared to let you know, I am too.' He was too, falling in love with me. With his mom and I was falling in love with my son."
That information didn't sit well with the police in Clovis, New Mexico, where the two live.
They were arrested in February and charged with one fourth-degree felony count of incest," according to theAssociated Press.
If convicted, Peterson and Mares could be sent to prison for a maximum sentence of 3 years apiece and have to cough up a $5,000 fine.
They face a trial by jury in September. Contact between the two is prohibited.
The couple has gone public in a bid to raise awareness for genetic sexual attraction (GSA).
GSA is described as incest between close relatives, such as siblings or half-siblings, a parent and offspring, or first and second cousins, who first meet as adults.
Mares says that if she's convicted, she and Peterson will move to a state with less rigorous incest laws.
However, it's illegal in almost every state. Although the punishment is not as severe in several such as Ohio, Rhode Island and New Jersey, according to SexInfo.com.
Cristina Shy, who runs www.lilysgardener.com, a support and advocacy website for related couples out of Minnesota, told The Daily Mail they should have the same rights as the LGBT community.
"It needs to be brought to the attention of everybody in the country and people need to start thinking differently," Shy said. "It was the same with gay people just a few years ago and now they can get married they are accepted. Well why not consanguinamorous people like us? We are all adults. We are not pedophiles, there's no domestic issue we are in love, we want to be together but we are related. That shouldn't be a deciding factor."
I don't care how you slice it, there are just some boundaries that aren't meant to be crossed in my opinion. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
T.I.'supscale Atlanta restaurantScales 925allegedly owes it's landlord more than$1 millionin back rent. As a result it has been served an eviction notice, according to theNew York Post.
In a since deleted Instagram post from Tuesday. August 9, the Grand Hustle Records boss distanced himself from the situation. Calling the opening of the eatery a "huge mistake" and seemed to blame it's problems on his business partner, Charles Hughes.
"Attn. Attn.!!!! Everybody This is Charles," the rapper captioned a photo. "He is NOT associated with me or my company in any capacity. He IS NOT authorized to book anything on me or my company's behalf. We have NO dealings nor partnerships outside of my restaurant Scales925 (which was a HUGE mistake in hindsight) DO NOT call him about any of my business. If it ain't Clay, Doug, KT, Hannah, C-Rodd, Gilly,or G Roberson it ain't legit!!!! This message has been written by, endorsed & rapprochement by #TheKingBitch #FuqWhoDontLikeit #SeeMeWhenUSeeMe."
This latest news comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta against T.I. and Hughes in July, by 12 former restaurant employees over unpaid wages.
Part of the legal documents obtained by Billboard paint Hughes as an unscrupulous businessman
"Hughes has made fraudulent statements to restaurant employees concerning the hours the employees worked at SCALES 925. For example, Hughes used a time and billing software call ALOHA for keeping track of employee hours. The software would delete hours or not keep track of hours exceeding 40 hours per week. Employees complained to Hughes but were told it was nothing he could do. Hughes also implemented the time and billing software in such a way that it caused employees to claim $35 in tips when the employees did not, in fact, make $35 in tips. Employees were also coerced to work off the clock for three hours before they were allowed to go home.”
Hughes is also accused of depositing restaurant funds into his personal bank account, causing payroll checks to bounce.
"We are aware of the filing. We take allegations like this seriously and are looking into the matter," a rep for Scales 925 told Billboard at the time.
Jhene Aikohas filed for divorce fromDot Da Genius, citing irreconcilable differences.
It was only recently revealed that the two were married, but E! News obtained court documents that indicate they tied the knot on July 26, 2014. and separated in June 2015.
Aiko is asking the judge to deny Dot spousal support.
Unsubstantiated rumors of a romance between Aiko, born Jhene Aiko Efuru Chilombo, andBig Seanbegan to surface earlier this year.
The two formed the group Twenty88, followed by the release of a self-titled EP on April 1, 2016.
Subsequent intimate photos and concert appearances fueled the speculation further.
Dot, born Oladipo Omishore, is best known for producing Kid Cudi's 2009 hit song "Day 'n' Nite." He is also in a band with the rapper named WZRD.

23-year old Chicago native and fast rising emcee, Chance the Rapper, lands on the cover of the latest issue of Billboard.
During his conversation with writer Ben Austen, Chance talks about his writing process, the competitive nature of the rap business, the police and more.
On the competition between rappers
I never really liked the idea of rap being a competitive thing. It’s not. I can’t gain anything off of anyone else not succeeding.
On his girlfriend Kirsten and the way African American women are portrayed in hip hop
I understand how black women are represented in rap music, how being a baby mama is perceived. My girlfriend and I are very conscious of how many people in our situation don’t think it can work out, when it can.
On the role of police in the community
There’s a larger conversation we need to have about the role of police officers, their relationship to the people as enemy or executioner, when they’re not supposed to be either. There’s also not enough pressure on internal organizations that are supposed to police the police and on judges in the justice system who are supposed to make reasonable decisions.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump is now accusing President Barack Obama of founding the Islamic State group that is wreaking havoc from the Middle East to European cities.
"In many respects, you know, they honor President Obama," Trump said Wednesday during a raucous campaign rally outside Fort Lauderdale, Florida. "He is the founder of ISIS."
He repeated the allegation three more times for emphasis.
Trump also pointedly referred to the president by his full legal name: Barack Hussein Obama.
The Republican presidential nominee in the past has accused his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, of founding the militant group. Shiftingt he blame to Obama on Wednesday, he said "crooked Hillary Clinton" was actually the group's co-founder.
As he works to keep his campaign message on track, Trump in recent days has sometimes tried to clarify controversial statements by arguing he was being misinterpreted. But given the opportunity Thursday morning to walk his statement back, Trump did the opposite.
"He was the founder, absolutely the founder," Trump said on CNBC. "In fact he gets the — in sports, they have awards. He gets the most valuable player award."
Trump has long blamed Obama and his former secretary of state — Clinton — for pursuing Mideast policies that created a power vacuum in Iraq that was exploited by IS, another acronym for the group. He's sharply criticized Obama for announcing he would pull U.S. troops out of Iraq, a decision that many Obama critics say created the kind of instability in which extremist groups like IS thrive.
The White House declined to comment on Trump's accusation.
The Islamic State group began as Iraq's local affiliate of al-Qaida, the group that attacked the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001. The group carried out massive attacks against Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority, fueling tensions with al-Qaida's central leadership. The local group's then-leader, Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was killed in 2006 in a U.S. airstrike but is still seen as the Islamic State group's founder.
Trump's accusation — and his use of the president's middle name, Hussein — echoed previous instances where he's questioned Obama's loyalties.
In June, when a shooter who claimed allegiance to IS killed 49 people in an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, Trump seemed to suggest Obama was sympathetic to the group when he said Obama "doesn't get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands." In the past, Trump has also falsely suggested Obama is a Muslim or was born in Kenya, where Obama's father was from.
The president, a Christian, was born in Hawaii.
Trump lobbed the allegation midway through his rally at a sports arena, where riled-up supporters shouted obscenities about Clinton and joined in unison to shout "lock her up." He railed against the fact that the Orlando shooter's father, Seddique Mateen, was spotted in the crowd behind Clinton during a Monday rally in Florida, adding, "Of course he likes Hillary Clinton."
Sitting behind Trump at his rally on Wednesday was former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., who resigned in 2006 after allegations he sent sexually suggestive messages to former House pages.
