We have been reporting for months on the epic divorce battle in which Master P and estranged wife Sonya Miller have been publicly dragging each other through the mud and fighting it out in court of their kids.
Well according to TMZ, in a shocking turn of events Master P just lost custody of his four kids and it was all because he didn’t show up for court! So….his kids were on the line and he didn’t go to his court hearing?! There has to be some super great reason for this no?
Sonya Miller was just awarded sole physical and legal custody of 13-year-old Hercy, 9-year-old Mercy, 17-year-old Tytyana and 14-year-old Italy.
Sonya has been telling all who would listen that she’s been reduced to nothing and that her husband refused to give her any of the $200,000,000.00 that they built while together.
On the flip though, Master P has been saying that his wife is on drugs and alcohol and that he won’t be a part of enabling that. But our question is: If this was true, what in the world kept him from that court room today?!
Master P didn’t respond to Sonya’s legal docs, so the judge came down on him with a vengeance.
Master P is required to pay Sonya’s $75,000.00 legal bill as well.
We know good and well this story is not over…not even close!
