Play, one half of the late-eighties rap group Kid N’ Play, has been called to a New York court to answer to charges that he has failed to pay over $32,000 in child support. The rapper’s ex-wife, actress Shari Headley, said that Play owes her almost four years worth of child support for their seven-year-old son Skyler, whom he hasn’t seen in two years. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.
Kid N’ Play were a hugely successful crossover group who starred in House Party and House Party 2 and even had their own cartoon. I know what you’re thinking and no, he’s not the one with the giant goofy high-top fade, that’s Kid.
