"There's no beef, but it might be a little lamb chops and some gravy. He should stay ready at all times"
Tyrese says his prenup was so strict his own lawyer could not believe his wife signed it. That same prenup is why a judge ordered him to pay her lawyers $399,152.
Paragraph XIX of the agreement reads: "[Husband] will pay the necessary and reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by [wife] if the divorce is uncontested." The Georgia Court of Appeals quoted it in its ruling on November 25, 2024, and affirmed every award he appealed.
The court record:
Married on February 14, 2017. Samantha filed for divorce on September 21, 2020.
$275,000: Tyrese's gross monthly income, per the trial court. Samantha's was $7,880.
$2,169.34: what the Georgia guidelines would have set as monthly child support.
$10,690: what the judge ordered instead, every month, for their daughter Soraya.
$163,093: back support for the months before trial.
$399,152: her attorney fees, charged to him under his own prenup.
September 9, 2024: an order found him in "willful contempt for failure to make child support payments" and set the amount to purge it at $73,525.73.
Tyrese argued at trial that the total should be capped at $3,500 a month. The court noted that $10,690 is the exact amount he already pays for his older daughter in California.
When Samantha told him in August 2025 she was moving Soraya to Oregon, he wrote back: "No, Samantha. No way. No how. I do not agree." On September 30, 2026, a Fulton County magistrate authorized a warrant for her arrest in the custody fight.
The case for Tyrese: he paid $2,236 a month on his own before any order, the prenup was meant to settle the money, and he says she told him she wanted none of it.
The case for Samantha: the prenup never covered child support, the appeals court called the award 4% of his adjusted monthly income and says $10,690 is the amount she asked for, and he was held in contempt for paying less than ordered.
In the video below he says: "Now you want $20,000 a month for a one-year-old. Now you've hired three law firms."
Is $10,690 a month for one child too much, or is it the price of earning $275,000 a month?
