According to a scathing report, a Houston family judge has scolded Mathew Knowles for bribing his baby’s mother, Taqoya Branscomb, with $225,000 so she wouldn’t take him to court for child support.

Mathew fathered a child, Koi Knowles, with Branscomb in 2010 while he was still married to Tina Knowles.

Last month, the judge ruled to garnish Mathew’s wages to pay $70,882 in back child support plus interest and $1,496 a month. He was also ordered Knowles to pay for Koi’s health insurance and $50,000 of Branscomb’s attorney fees.

Branscomb was granted sole custody of Koi.

“The court notes that Mr. Knowles has zero interest, and in this court’s consideration on the evidence, zero capability of being a positive role model in the child’s life,” Judge Farr wrote.

Meanwhile Mama Tina is remarried to Richard Lawson and out here slaying in these streets.
