U.O.E.N.O. Rapper Hasn’t Responded To Paternity Case From Georgia Chef

Rapper Rocko is in major hot water for blowing off a paternity dispute over an alleged secret daughter.

Rocko – whose real name is Rodney Hill – is close to being found guilty by default in a paternity suit accusing him of squiring a secret daughter and then abandoning her, BOSSIP has learned.

Georgia’s special assistant attorney general sued the “U.O.E.N.O” rapper back in January, naming him as being legally responsible for providing support for the little girl, who BOSSIP is not naming. The attorney general’s office got involved after the girl’s mother, Tinashei Phillips, put her on the Medicaid rolls, according to court papers obtained by BOSSIP.

However, the “Thugs Need Love Too” rapper never responded, and in July, the family court judge on the case ruled that he had to submit to a DNA test to see if he was indeed the dad.

Court records show he didn’t show up for the testing either, and the court is taking his failure to appear as him waiving the right to be tested and consenting to be named as the father, his court papers show.

Rocko – who is also the ex-parter of singer Monica – is due back in court next month, where the judge is set to decide a child support figure and force Rocko to start paying it.

Rocko did not have an attorney listed on the case. We’ve reached out to the lawyer for the state’s Child Support Services for comment.

The mom said in court papers she had a relationship with Rocko, and wasn’t with any other man at the time the child was conceived. The child was born in 2006. She said Rocko has made sporadic child support payments and hasn’t consistently been in her daughter’s life.

But Phillips did say that he has given her $2,000 over the years, and has seen the child at least seven times. The mom also said her daughter looks exactly like Rocko.

The mom said she makes $2,000 a month working as a chef plus receives an extra $250 a month in child support for another kid. She said she needs $650 a month to support the girl, according to her complaint.

The attorney general has previously sued Rocko over supporting the child, but a judge dismissed the case in 2016.
