P Diddy has been ordered to pay £19,671 a month in child support for his ten year old son. According to the BBC, his ex-partner Misa Brim applied for an increase in maintenance from the old monthly rate of £1,570 and the courts have backed that application based on Diddy's estimated annual income of £28.1m. The decision was based on an estimated figure because of the absence of "sufficient evidence" of his true earnings.
Diddy's legal people plan to appeal the decision, telling reporters: "This is a gross abuse of discretion by the court. We are confident it will be overturned on appeal. This is not about child support, it's about adult support. Any increase in support will be likely utilised to enhance Misa Brim and her two other children's lifestyle rather than in any way benefit Mr Combs' already well-provided for son".
