CORE DJs CEO Tony Neal Responds to “Deadbeat Dad” Accusations
Earlier today, an irate email was sent to many bloggers and music industry execs from a woman accusing the CORE DJs CEO and Founder Tony Neal of being “the biggest deadbeat dad of all time” in reference to his 13-year-old daughter Essance. Although there are certainly others vying for position when it comes to the title of “biggest deadbeat dad,” she did present some evidence to support her case. Her email (including an email thread between Tony and his daughter in which he tells her not to contact him anymore and she provides “9 reasons why you are the worst dad ever”) is included in its entirety below.
In response, Tony alleges the following:
- He was there to raise his daughter from birth and never questioned the paternity
- After years of prompting from his mother, who said the girl didn’t look like him, he administered a home DNA swab when his daughter was 10 years old and living with him in Milwaukee. The results were not a match, but he never told his daughter to preserve the stability of their relationship and has continued paying child support for the past 3 years despite knowing that he was not the biological father
- He plans to sue his “baby mama” for defamation of character based on her email, and also for back child support based on the negative DNA results
- The reason the child support judgement is so low ($125/month) is that the mother had left Milwaukee and moved to Atlanta with the daughter and didn’t give him any contact info, essentially kidnapping her
- The mother has never had a stable place to live and was recently kicked out of her father’s home
- The mother claims that she excused Tony from paying $20,000 in child support; he alleges that the figure was only $9,000 and the reason it was excused is because the child was living with him in Milwaukee for over 2 years and he was paying all the expenses during that time
- He takes care of the 4 children he has with his wife and recently adopted his wife’s daughter from a previous relationship, so the “deadbeat dad” title is unfair
- The original email chain between him and his daughter contained other emails which the mother edited out, and doesn’t reveal the full conversation
- The email argument was prompted by him refusing to buy his daughter an expensive coat after he had just sent the mother $900
- The money he sends for child support is being used to support the mother, not the daughter, and her motives for putting him on blast are primarily financial———————————————
Below is the baby mama’s email:
PUT THIS NIGGA ON BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just when I thought this BITCHASS NIGGA couldn’t sink any lower, he fools me again. I don’t know where to start with this deadbeat. I have been dealing with this sperm donor for 13 unfortunate years; the only great thing I got out of being with his BITCHASS is my beautiful daughter. I have never met a more selfish lowdown man oops I mean little boy in all my life. Ladies, ladies, ladies, please pick and choose your child’s father wisely!! Now I won’t bore you with the previous years, hell the current is bad enough!
First off, I have never met a person who is so quick to point the finger at other people as opposed to looking at himself; hands down TONY NEAL wins that award. I will start with last week and go from there, this nigga has his whole schedule blasted on his MySpace page, which my daughter frequents often to see where he is! His BITCHASS always comes to ATL, where we live. He never sees his daughter when he comes here; as a matter of fact he was here last week which is the reason for this blast. He tells my daughter he will see her when he gets here and take her shopping (mind you he has not seen her in 2 years and has not paid child support in months!), now I already know he’s a lying black bastard so I just shrug my shoulders and keep it moving. He gets here and talks to my daughter and as usual rushes her off the phone, to my surprise he answers his phone the next day when she calls too, wow 2 in a row imagine that. By the third and fourth day he never answers his phone and once again leaves ATL without so much as an hour spent with his child, now mind you he visits ATL often. Now by the third day I’m ready to kick his fucking head in because now my child is walking around sad as hell and there is nothing worse than a sad child and you can’t change their mood. When your child constantly ask you why their dad won’t take care of them, why they don’t see them, why they don’t care it begins to piss you off! Now my daughter is 13 she has become quite wise about her daddy, no more sugar coating this bullshit, TONY NEAL is a piece of shit point blank! Now I guess it was building up inside my daughter so she sent him an email. Below is the conversation they had by email. THE SOB tells my daughter not to call him anymore! WHAT KIND OF FUCKED UP CRAZY ASS BULLSHIT IS THAT! You tell your own child not to call you anymore; he’s more like his crack head momma than I thought.
Now this shit is going to blow your mind. I erased over $20,000 dollars in back child support this BITCHASS nigga owed me; yeah that’s right 20 thousand dollars!!!!!!!!! How many women do you know does that shit!!!! I agreed to do this only if he continued to pay his current child support each month (which is a measly $125, not enough to buy shit!), well guess what he has only paid child support 3 times this year, always in arrears even after I wiped his slate clean!!!!!! In the words of Ed Lover “Come on Son” you have got to be kidding me. Last year when I called him on it as I often do, what did he do, you guessed it, pointed the finger at me. Called me a fat miserable bitch, I’m going to die because I have high blood pressure (which I don’t) I’m a hoe, my mommas a hoe and so on and so on and told me never to contact him again, just like he told his daughter. Now at what point does this trifling nigga think he should take responsibility and say you know what I could be a better father, I could spend more time, I should fucking pay my child support, NOPE it’s always the other person’s fault. As you see below this is all he has paid to date and the last time he paid was in fucking June! Oh did I mention his BITCHASS wife, she is worse than him. Just so happens she has a child that he just loves to take care of. Last year when I called him out he tells her to email my daughter to say he’s not sending her anything for Christmas, how low down is that, to have your wife email your daughter to tell here you won’t be sending her anything for Christmas, and this bitch sent my child an email saying just that!!! She needs her mutha fuckin ass whooped!!!! Well one thing is for sure they definitely belong together!!!

WOW! Dad when will you start acting like the adult you pretend to be do you remember I’m the kid! You didn’t even buy me a coat and you expect me to show up at my grandmas funeral, how was I suppose to do that. It clear this is useless, you really just don’t get it. You never take responsibility and always seem to throw it back on somebody else. When will you take a look at the type of father you are or should I say you are not! Honestly you have not attempted to see me in two years, you don’t pay child support, you don’t send any money and this is your attitude towards me your own daughter. You’re angry at me WHY? I’m better off without a deadbeat dad like you!!!!!!!!!________________________________________

YOU GUYS SUPPORT THIS NIGGA!!! YOU POOL MONEY BEHIND THIS NIGGA!!! WHAT KIND OF PERSON TELLS THEIR DAUGHTER NOT TO CONTACT THEM ANYMORE? YALL GIVE THIS NIGGA TOO MUCH POWER, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, THIS NIGGA AINT SHIT, HOW CAN YALL SUPPORT THIS BULLSHIT??? THIS IS WHAT YALL LOOK UP TO!!!! I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THE TYPE OF PERSON HE IS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME I WON’T STOP TILL THE TRUTH IS OUT ABOUT THIS TRIFLIN NEGRO!!!!!!————————————————-
Regardless of who’s telling the truth in the he-said/she-said debate, it’s a sad situation all around. Hopefully they can get it together for the sake of the 13-year-old!
Tony specifically asked me to share that he wants his supposed baby mama to keep sending out emails to everyone so he can use them in court against her!!!
I just disagree w/ this being a public issue like this. Let folks handle this in the privacy of their own homes.
