Mario Winans has daughter in mink while son gets evicted
Mario Winans, RAP producer and gospel singer — nephew of Broadway star Benjamin "BeBe" Winans, is refusing to support his 3-year-old son, says his ex-lover Janel Bennett.
According to Janel who was in an eight-year relationship with Winans before she had her son Jordan, she was evicted from her home in Miami because Winans wouldn't pay child support.
The jilted mom says she is homeless and living with friends on the South Side of Chicago, where she works as a cocktail waitress.
In 2005, the Miami Herald reported, "A DNA test shows a '99.99 percent probability' that Winans is the biological parent." Documents filed in a Miami-Dade, Florida court last January 2 stated, "Mario Winans is obligated to pay Janel Bennett $4,500 per month due on the first of each month as child support."
Janel told reporters, "He hasn't paid me. I just wanted support, and I was on disability and Medicaid and welfare just to have the baby." She said that after telling Winans she was pregnant, he disappeared from her life. Friends of Winan's confirmed that his current girlfriend, Joy, the mother of his toddler daughter, Sklyar is known publicly as his "wife." Janel added, "Joy lives in a 16-bedroom mansion and her daughter wears mink coats and Seven jeans, and my son doesn't have boots to wear in the winter."
She claimed Winans has only seen Jordan once, and "doesn't send Christmas cards, doesn't send him birthday cards, nothing." Bennett met Winans — who leapt to fame in 2004 with his track, "I Don't Wanna Know" — in 1997 through their mutual friend Sean "Diddy" Combs. Winans and Combs worked together at Bad Boy Records and Bennett was working on fashion consulting for Combs' clothing line, Sean John.
Janel said that for a while, Winans was sending her some money, but "he stopped paying last year...by the end of August 2007, I lost the house and moved to Chicago...I just want him to do right by Jordan...It would be so simple for him to call me so we could work something out."

See this is why you can't make chirren for any and everybody. You will never see a man for who he is until the times get rough. Celebrities are famous for having children for this and that body and that is why women should be careful around them, children are not a meal ticket to the high life. I have to ask this woman if she was saving any of the child support she was getting before he stopped sending it. Did she work while she was getting child support??
To all the women out there I just have one piece of advice, always prepare yourself before you have a child because not all men will stick around when the child gets here. Always make sure you have enough to support you and your seed because in the end that is all you will have.
Now to this this situation, men can be real jerks sometimes. You deh good wid the woman then all of a sudden you meet up with a next girl and leave the baby mother in rags and pampin up a stance. When the new girl done spend out all of your money who you gon come back to??
I think they both made some stupid mistakes and this just goes to show that you can't depend on anybody but yourself.

I am in a similar,if not worse situation. It just seems to me that this lady wants to be dependent on baby daddy, tru him have money. She need fi PULL UP and GET IT TOGETHER! FAST!
GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP/TRY TO HELP THEMSELVES. There are so many abandoned mothers out there, like myself, holdin it down, without the youth being aware of the churning hell around him/her. Has she ever heard of budgeting, thrift store shopping, or plain ole mommy go without so the youth can get it? The baby daddy never made their youth go without boots for winter. She the MOTHER, allows HER CHILD to go without boots.
Clarity: I am not saying that the father is not equally responsible. However, if the father abandons the family, should the mother give in to that, and in turn make the youth suffer? NO!
Even if she got used to an affluent lifestyle, when all that is gone with the wind, mommy still gotta make it do what it do.
I am just a little disappointed. Woman is the BACKBONE of humanity. When woman turn weak heart, everybdy feel it/sufferation. She fi know dat.
I would not put my baby daddy's name in the media, as it not only reflects badly on him, but on me also. The way I see it, if the baby daddy can't or simply will not provide and nurture my youth, then with everything I have in me, I will.
She need fi get some education or a skill or get back her job with sean john and stop act like a careless gyal. If she was a man, then excuses and justifications can be made as to why not..., as they always are, but she name WOMAN and, there is no excuse, she can do it.
thats enough from me...take care.

I agree but, I read from a balif and reporter that there is much more to this story.The courts issued a warrant for his arrest there is alot that was not mentioned in the news. this has been goin on for some time so she must have just got tired and exposed him cuase alot of these men play the field and get these girls pregnant but dont want take responsibility and share with the duties. I'm sure she has good cause for doing what she needs to do.I would do the same thing. I cant imagine letting a dude get off on me like that. I heard she still worked for Sean John she was in some bad accident and put in a coma thats why she was on dissability and sounds like weather he paid her or not she was still working and doin what she needed to do I think it was more of her comparing that if his daughter is so well taken care of then so should all his kids. There should be no favorites.but,what do we know,they never tell it all!
