Lawyers for Tynesha Nicole Dykes, former girlfriend of rapper Jay Jenkins, aka "Young Jeezy," and the mother of his 9-year-old son claim the singer's publicists have set out to discredit the woman by disseminating false information to the press. "Tynesha Dykes is living in a HUD project in rural Georgia and is currently receiving a mere $178 per month in child support," ;D says Jim Rockefeller of the Rockefeller Law Center in central Georgia, Dykes' attorney who said that the woman recently filed for a modification of the amount paid to her for child support.
"Mr. Jenkins is one of the fastest rising hip-hop/rap performers on the Billboard Chart, ;D with well over a million records in sales in the past year and a mansion in Atlanta. He lives in high style, tours the country and is in the close company of stars like Jay-Z and Beyonce," said Rockefeller. ;D Rockefeller decried the rumor that Tynesha Dykes is seeking $20,000/month from Jenkins, calling it "pure fantasy spread by the rapper's publicity machine." ;D
According to MTV News.com, Jenkins' publicists released information that the singer had opened his Atlanta mansion to victims of Katrina. ;D In his deposition, however, Rockefeller said, "Jenkins denied owning a mansion, or any home whatsoever, or even a car, for that matter. He also denied owning any jewelry, despite the fact that everywhere he appears he is wearing a huge diamond snowman pendant. In short, he testified that he has no income and receives only $35/ per diem." liar
Said Rockefeller, "This is yet another example of the misogynist hip-hop /rap culture bashing women and de-emphasizing the libertine lifestyles of its male stars. Ms. Dykes is not an opportunist, she is a loving mother who only wants a decent lifestyle for her son." ;D
