Orlando Shaw is a real-life Shawty Lo. Oh, Shawty Lo is real? Woops. Shawty Lo has 11 kids with 10 mothers, while Orlando has 22 children with 14 mothers. Well, Mr. Shaw showed up at the Tennessee court in Nashville, explaining to the local news why he can’t pay child support for any of his children. When asked how he found himself in this position, Orlando claimed, “I was young and ambitious and I love women. You can’t knock no man for loving women.”
You may not be able to knock a man for loving women, but you can knock him for not paying for his children! The state of Tennessee currently pays $7,000 per month in child support for the children. Shaw contends that because of a criminal history, he is unable to secure a job. He noted that he does play the lottery in the hopes of winning and being able to provide for his children. Smh!
