CAMPBELL SLAMS CHILD CUSTODY REPORTS

Veteran rapper LUTHER CAMPBELL has hit out at reports he was jailed for skipping child support payments and accused the media and authorities in his native Miami, Florida of waging a vendetta against him.

Reports this week (18Feb09) suggested the 48-year-old 2 Live Crew star had been thrown behind bars for failing to make payments to his ex-lover Shakera Morgan.

But Campbell insists he was jailed 'unfairly' because of unpaid legal fees, not child support payments.

In a statement released to Allhiphop.com he says, "The Miami Herald erroneously reported that I went to jail for failure to pay child support when in fact I'm the first person I know of to go to jail for failure to pay attorney's fees and not child support. The matter at issue pertained to attorney's fees.

"Please note that my payment of $11,613.10 for actual child support was paid back in October 23, 2008. Therefore, my payment as to child support was and is current."

The star is so upset he has vowed to leave Miami for good, adding, "At this point I am tired of fighting the city of Miami. I'm putting my house up for sale and getting the hell out. If you want to buy it let me know."
