“Tony, Tamar, Aliyah, Christiana, Zaria, Keyomi, Honest, Melissa, Taylor, now somebody is missing,” Kountry said. “I just missed somebody’s name but baby I love you and you watching TV, every interview.”
After Sherri asked about the children’s birthdays, Kountry went on to name the 10th child, Malia.
As the conversation continued, Sherri asked Kountry about splurging on anything due to his success. This is when he shared that child support is a splurge since he pays $200,000 in child support, much to Sherri’s disbelief.
“Yeah, my child support … Just my family costs me about 200 a month,” Kountry says. “It doesn’t have to cost me that much. It’s just that child support comes with baby mama support. Everybody come behind the children with their hands out.”
