Paying off his child’s mother, Taqoya Branscomb, was one of the worst things Mathew Knowles could have done in the eyes of a Houston judge. Knowles paid Branscomb $225,000 to keep their daughter, Koi, a secret; Knowles was still married to Tina Knowles at the time. However, due to the silent-not so much any more-exchange, the judge ordered the daddy to pay up $70,822 in back child support.
