Diamond Brown wants at least $30,000 a month in child support for her daughter with Chris Brown, and she is seeking financial records to help make her case.
The singer’s business managers objected to subpoenas for those documents, according to court papers obtained by TMZ. Its November 9 report describes a disagreement over producing the records.
Diamond says she needs the information to establish Brown’s income and what he can afford to contribute toward raising their 4-year-old daughter, Lovely. She estimates his net worth at $50 million.
The requested support amount, which had already appeared in October reporting, has not been reported as a court-ordered payment.
Diamond Previously Proposed More Than $45,000 in Monthly Expenses
In an income and expense declaration reported by TMZ on October 5, Diamond identified herself as a social media influencer and esthetician earning approximately $1,500 a month. She listed about $10,300 in cash and bank accounts and approximately $5,000 in other personal assets.
Her reported spending at the time was about $8,400 a month. She said Brown voluntarily provided roughly $7,000 in monthly spending money and paid for her housing and utilities. She also acknowledged that he had bought her a Tesla.
The proposed budget she wanted considered was considerably larger, exceeding $45,000 per month. It included $15,000 for housing, which would replace the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home she shared with Lovely.
Among the child-related costs, Diamond proposed $3,500 for childcare, $2,000 for college savings and $1,500 for art and sports lessons. She also listed $2,000 for gifts, $500 for clothing and $350 for haircuts.
Brown Said He Pays $10,000 a Month and Covers Other Costs
Brown challenged Diamond’s account publicly on October 5, after details of her filings emerged. In an Instagram Story reproduced by XXL, he said his contributions included housing, two cars, schooling and medical expenses, along with $10,000 each month.
“I LITERALLY PAY FOR EVERYTHING,” he wrote. He also accused Diamond of preventing him from spending time with Lovely, saying he had not seen their daughter in seven months. Brown insisted that his concern was maintaining a relationship with his child.

In a video response, Diamond rejected Brown’s description of their financial arrangement and said her attorney had documentation supporting her account. Although she expressed appreciation for the home and cars he had secured, she said she paid monthly installments on them.
She acknowledged blocking Brown from contacting her directly but argued that he had other ways to reach her. As one example, she described his manager contacting her to arrange a meeting, which she declined.
Diamond also said she had invited Brown to events involving Lovely, including an appearance connected to New York Fashion Week. She presented messages as evidence that she had tried to involve him in their daughter’s life.
The exchange drew responses from Nia Guzman, Ammika Harris and Jada Wallace, who defended Brown’s support of his children. Diamond criticized their involvement in the dispute.
The Parents Have Also Asked for Different Custody Arrangements
According to TMZ’s earlier reporting, Diamond began the parentage case on April 3, 2026, seeking legal and physical custody of Lovely while proposing visitation for Brown. He subsequently requested joint legal and physical custody and opposed paying Diamond’s legal expenses, asking that each side cover its own costs.
In filings reported on October 13, Diamond said Lovely spent approximately 90% of her time with her. She claimed Brown had not requested a visit in six to seven months, despite her efforts to encourage their relationship.
She also objected to his proposal that Lovely accompany him on tour during alternating weekends. Diamond argued that the arrangement was unsuitable for a child her age because Brown would be working and a nanny would provide much of the care.
