Chris Brown was hoping to keep the news about his daughter, Royalty, on the low for a while, but his baby's mother had other ideas.
TMZ reports that Brown is taking Nia Amey to court to family court to have his child support payments formalized. The singer believes he's been paying Nia a lot more money than legally required after finding out he was a father last month.

The two had reached a private financial agreement, however since Nia took the story public Breezy is firing back by hitting her in the pocketbook.
According to theInternational Business Times, Nia was married to a man namedTerry Ameyat the time Royalty was conceived. Divorce papers were filed in January 2014.
Chris wanted a baby with longtime girlfriendKarrueche Tran. She put the brakes on that idea until Chris married her. The two have now split up after Tran found out Brown already had a child.

The latest release from Bethlehem’s very own Tug McRaw, Bacon and Eggs, is something that is just as important as breakfast to those who are fans and lovers of hip hop music. Tug is no stranger to the music scene doing everything from showcase performances, appearing and being featured on different projects, and even being the man behind the camera (that’s another conversation for another day)… he is a man of many talents but there is only one love and that’s music.
The 90’s were a time where hip hop music was fun and it took more than a great beat and a catchy hook to make a name for yourself, this also happens to be the same era that influenced Tug and you can hear that when you take a listen. The beats are nice, but the bars are nicer and that’s something rare to come across these days!

Next up Whoo Kid tells how he got Young Buck into the G-Unit reunion, how he'd like to get The Game back and announces upcoming solo work with each of the individual members. From there he goes on to explain how important he finds it to be diverse not only with the music he's involved with but also with the guest on his radio show - even going as far as to tell us never before heard trade secrets.
After explaining how he keeps his interviews interesting and gets starts to open up in a different way Whoo Kid tells why hip-hop is full of liars, how hip-hop is an illusion, how lying helped get him to where he is in his career and how he learned from Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen and Jimmy Iovine. Before checking out Whoo Kid details his use of social media, how world travel taught him the ignorance of monogamy and the nick name Chaka Khan gave him. At 18 minutes this interview flies bad as it's incredibly entertaining. Enjoy!

LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) — When a man battles Darth Vader, Nazis and other evil-doers for work, what does he do for fun? Harrison Ford finds his answer in a pilot's license and the freedom to take to the skies.
But with adventure comes risk, just as Han Solo, Indiana Jones and other daring movie characters Ford brought to life realized. On Thursday, one of Hollywood's pre-eminent stars added a plane crash to an aviation record that includes both mishaps and service to others.
Ford, 72, who battled Hitler's henchmen in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as dashing archaeologist Jones, was flying a World War II-era plane when it lost engine power shortly after takeoff from Santa Monica Municipal Airport near Los Angeles. He crash-landed on a golf course next to the airport.
Bystanders who feared the aircraft might explode or catch fire pulled the actor from the plane, and doctors who happened to be playing golf gave him initial help, Los Angeles fire officials said. An ambulance then took him to a hospital in fair to moderate condition.
"He had no other choice but to make an emergency landing, which he did safely," Ford spokeswoman Ina Treciokas said. "He was banged up and is in the hospital receiving medical care."
The injuries are not life-threatening and he is expected to make a full recovery, she said in a statement Thursday night. No one on the ground was hurt.
Ford took off at 2 p.m. Thursday. About 20 minutes later, he told the airport tower that he had engine failure and was making an immediate return, according to a recording posted by LiveATC.net.
The plane had been flying at about 3,000 feet and hit a tree on the way down, according to witnesses and officials.
Ford had a cut to his forehead and scraped arms, but it wasn't clear what internal injuries he may have received, Los Angeles Assistant Fire Chief Patrick Butler said.
"He wasn't a bloody mess. He was alert. He had good vitals," Butler said.
The plane, a yellow 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR with stars on its wings, had damage mostly confined to the front.
"I would say that this is an absolutely beautifully executed — what we would call — a forced or emergency landing, by an unbelievably well-trained pilot," said Christian Fry of the Santa Monica Airport Association.
Charlie Thomson, a flight instructor at the airport who saw Ford take off, said engine failure like Ford's does not make the plane harder to maneuver. "It just means you have to go down," he said.
Ford crashed on a fairway of Penmar golf course.
"Immediately you could see the engine started to sputter and just cut out, and he banked sharply to the left," said Jeff Kuprycz, who was golfing when he saw the plane taking off.
Kuprycz said there was no explosion when the plane plunged to the ground, "it just sounded like a car hitting the ground or a tree or something. Like that one little bang, and that was it."
Among the first people to reach Ford was a spinal surgeon who had been golfing.
Sanjay Khurana told TV stations in Los Angeles that he found Ford slumped over in the cockpit but conscious.
Aside from worrying about Ford's injuries from the impact, he saw fuel leaking out and became concerned that the plane could explode. As he helped pull Ford from the wreckage, others threw dirt on the fuel.
The airport's single runway sits amid residential neighborhoods in the city of more than 90,000 on the Pacific Ocean. City leaders and many residents advocate closing the airport, citing noise and safety concerns. Other planes taking off or landing there have crashed into homes, and in September 2013 four people died when their small jet veered into a hangar and caught fire.
Ford, who plays the swashbuckling Solo in his fourth "Star Wars" movie set for release in December, is known to shun attention to his private life but has been publicly effusive about his love of flying.
After arriving in his own plane at a 2001 fundraising gala for Seattle's Museum of Flight, Ford said he was glad to help "engage kids in the romance and the mystery and the adventure of flying. ... I know what it means."
Ford got his pilot's license in the 1990s and has made headlines with his flying, though he had never been significantly injured. In 2001, he rescued a missing Boy Scout with his helicopter. Nearly a year before, he rescued an ailing mountain climber in Wyoming.
In 2000, a gust of wind sent a six-seat plane Ford was piloting off a runway in Lincoln, Nebraska. He and his passenger were not injured.
He has also volunteered his services during forest-fire season, when rescue helicopters are busy battling blazes.
The actor, who is married to Calista Flockhart of "Ally McBeal" fame, has said his rescues "had nothing to do with heroism."
"It had to do with flying a helicopter. That's all," he said.
The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash in a process that could take up to a year before a final report. NTSB investigator Patrick Jones said the agency would look at "everything: weather, man, the machine."

WASHINGTON (Associated Press) — President Barack Obama said the type of racial discrimination found in Ferguson, Missouri, is not unique to that police department, and he cast law enforcement reform as a chief struggle for today's civil rights movement.
Obama said improving civil rights and civil liberties with police is one of the areas that "requires collective action and mobilization" 50 years after pivotal civil rights marches brought change to the country. The president made his first remarks about this week's Justice Department report of racial bias in Ferguson, which found officers routinely discriminating against blacks by using excessive force.
"I don't think that is typical of what happens across the country, but it's not an isolated incident," Obama told The Joe Madison Radio Show on Sirius XM radio's Urban View channel. "I think that there are circumstances in which trust between communities and law enforcement have broken down, and individuals or entire departments may not have the training or the accountability to make sure that they're protecting and serving all people and not just some."
Obama's interview was to preview his trip Saturday to Selma, Alabama, where he plans to speak from the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where white police officers beat civil rights protesters on March 7, 1965. Obama last visited Selma in 2007, when he was running for the Democratic presidential nomination and spoke about the responsibility of those who came after the civil rights generation of the '60s to carry on the struggle.
It was a theme he reiterated ahead of his return visit.
In another interview with radio host Tom Joyner, Obama said that despite the progress in race relations over the past 50 years, the Justice Department findings about Ferguson show that civil rights "is an unfinished project."
"There is work to be done right now," he said.
On Friday, Obama was kicking off the weekend's 50th anniversary with a town hall meeting at South Carolina's Benedict College, a historically black college. The White House said Obama plans to speak about efforts young people made throughout history to expand opportunity.
Obama's visit to Columbia is his first trip to South Carolina as president. Obama has just two other states to reach his goal of traveling to all 50 in office — South Dakota and Utah.
