Chris Brown is facing another dispute over his financial responsibilities as the mother of one of his children pushes for a closer look at his earnings.
Diamond Brown believes the singer’s current child support payments do not reflect what he can afford, but her efforts to establish his actual income have reportedly hit an obstacle.
The disagreement has now shifted toward the business records she says are necessary to make her case.
Chris Brown’s Business Managers Push Back Against Financial Records Request
For Diamond, determining the appropriate amount of child support depends on understanding the money Chris Brown actually earns.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, she subpoenaed the singer’s business managers to obtain financial information, but they objected to producing the requested records.
The disagreement has reportedly left both sides at a standstill, with Diamond claiming that the lack of access has made it difficult to establish his true income.
She believes the documents would provide a clearer picture of his earnings and help determine what he can reasonably contribute toward supporting their daughter, Lovely.
Chris’s Baby Mama Wants At Least $30K In Monthly Support
The financial records dispute comes as Diamond challenges the approximately $7,000 she currently receives each month.
According to TMZ, she has estimated that Chris Brown is worth $50 million and believes the existing payment is far below what his financial circumstances warrant.
Diamond has also disclosed that she has approximately $10,000 to her name, strengthening her argument that the current arrangement does not adequately meet her financial needs.
She believes the Grammy winner should be paying at least $30,000 monthly in child support.
Chris Brown Faced Claims That He Was Absent From Lovely’s Life
The disagreement over Chris’s finances was not the only issue Diamond had raised in her child-support case. In October, TMZ detailed her claims about the 37-year-old’s involvement in their daughter Lovely’s life.
According to court documents obtained by the outlet, Diamond said she had Lovely, then four, approximately 90% of the time.
She acknowledged that Chris’s career frequently took him out of town but claimed he had not asked to see their daughter in six to seven months.
She also revealed that he had proposed taking Lovely on tour on alternating weekends, an arrangement she considered unsuitable for a child of her age because she believed the singer’s work commitments would leave the girl primarily in a nanny’s care.
Diamond maintained that she had encouraged their relationship but described Chris as “often uninterested” in spending time with their daughter.

Chris’s Baby Mama Detailed Her Proposed $45K Monthly Expenses
The disagreement over what Chris Brown should contribute was laid out in greater detail in court documents reported by TMZ on October 5, 2026.
Diamond was seeking approximately $45,000 per month, arguing that the amount would cover her household costs and Lovely’s expenses.
Her proposed budget included roughly $23,000 for rent and household expenses, alongside approximately $20,000 for the child’s school, medical care and extracurricular activities.
The listed costs included $3,500 for childcare, $2,000 for college savings, $2,000 for gifts, $1,500 for art and sports lessons, and $500 for clothing.
Diamond said Chris had provided a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home but believed she needed a property costing $15,000 monthly.
She also acknowledged that he voluntarily provided $7,000 in monthly spending money, bought her a Tesla and covered utilities. She wanted the proposed support arrangement formalized through a court order.
Chris’s Girlfriend Jada Wallace Challenged Diamond’s Claims
Diamond’s allegations also drew a public response from people in Chris Brown’s personal life.
As The Blast reported last month, the “Under The Influence” singer’s girlfriend, Jada Wallace, had addressed the child-support dispute on Instagram.
“Diamond, please … Everyone of us is OVERLY taken care of and you know that. Stop being ungrateful and miserable,” she wrote, per TMZ.
Chris’s other child’s mother, Nia Guzman, also defended him. She wrote, “This is a man who takes care of ALL his responsibilities. He goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is straight. It’s family over everything! Not one child is cared for more than the other! He’s very present. Very active. End of story!”
The report also noted that Diamond had accused Chris of harassing her and her new boyfriend out of jealousy. His lawyer denied those allegations, while Chris had not publicly responded to her request for increased support at the time.
