As we previously reported, Weezy F. was hit with a paternity test from the grandmother of his supposed 5th child…who now is 8 years old. It left many scratching their heads as to why she waited EIGHT years to come forward with this, as well as why the mother of the child wasn’t doing it herself.

Well, so far we have one of those “answers.” According to the grandmother, it was Hurricane Katrina. Um…is she aware that was 5 years ago? She says the child’s family “tried multiple times to get a paternity test” against Wayne only to face unforeseen delays — such as a massive natural disaster.

According to her lawyer, the New Orleans court system moved at a ridiculously slow pace anyway — and after Katrina hit in 2005 … all sorts of court records pertaining to the case were destroyed … and their case was delayed by a matter of years.

Wayne will take the test early next month so let’s see what happens. I call BS!
