However, the actor said that he didn’t like being named as a “visitor” to his daughter.

“Do you pay all that money per month and be called a ‘visitor?’ Do the math. This is delusional. I will let the lawyers and God do what they do,” Wayans told the outlet. “I’ll be creating art from a broken heart. I got nothing but love. Even when it’s bad, it’s good…it’s GOD.”

In addition to the paternity documents, Moreland, who is listed as an “unemployed graduate student” in California, submitted an income and expense declaration.

She states that part of her monthly expenses goes toward providing “clothes for the minor child.”

Moreland is requesting $2,000 per month from Wayans for child care so that she can continue working.

Wayans also addressed Moreland’s child support requests in the paternity suit in conversation withThe Shade Room.

“It’s the classic case of a good, loving, responsible father shelling out over $18k per month for a one-year-old, and an entitled woman decides she wants more,” Wayans said. “My mama and dem would’ve lost their minds for $2k.”
