1990s Bad Boy R&B crooner Carl Thomas—the legendary voice behind smooth classics like “Emotional”and “I Wish”—is officially getting dragged online after his child’s mother put him on absolute blast!
Media Take Out learned that Latoya Shantel Young, the mother of his young daughter, took to social media and public podcasts to remind the world that behind his soulful ballads is a father who allegedly refuses to step up to the plate!
According to Latoya, despite court orders, DNA testing, and years of back-and-forth legal battles, the crooner hasn’t provided financial or physical support for his young child!
INSIDE THE CLAIMS: DNA TESTS, COURT DOCKETS & ZERO PAYMENTS
In an emotional public rant detailing her rocky history with the R&B star, Latoya laid out the full timeline of their strained co-parenting relationship:
- From Friends To A One-Night Stand: Latoya revealed that while she knew Carl for several years, their relationship turned intimate during a one-time encounter that resulted in her pregnancy.
- The DNA Test & Court Order: She claims that Carl initially petitioned the court for a formal paternity test. But even after a judge established legal paternity and ordered him to pay monthly child support, Latoya alleges he simply stopped making payments and cut off contact!
- Refusing To Meet His Daughter: To make matters worse, Latoya claims Carl has zero active involvement in their daughter’s life, alleging that he hasn’t even seen or checked on the young girl in years!

INTERNET REACTS TO THE MESSY DRAMA
As clips of Latoya’s claims circulated across social media commentary hubs, fans immediately split into fiery debates over the allegations:
- Calling Out Deadbeat Behavior: Supporters slammed the singer, writing that regardless of past relationship issues or adult disagreements, a father always has an obligation to financially support his child!
- Debating The Baby Mama’s History: On the flip side, critics pointed to Latoya’s own colorful internet presence—pointing out her wild viral appearances on blogs and podcasts—arguing that both parties need to take their family issues directly to family court instead of fighting online.
