Flo Rida is at the centre of a paternity row.

Gloria Holloway has claimed the 'Right Round' rapper is the father of her child, who was born earlier this year, but the hip-hop star denies he is the dad and insists he has taken a DNA test to prove he is not the biological father.
Sandy Becher, a lawyer for Flo Rida, told TMZ.com the rapper had used a pseudonym when taking the test which proved he wasn't the dad, but Gloria is not satisfied that this is the case, and may seek a court order against the star to make him take another test.
A lawyer for her said: "There is absolutely nothing to indicate that Flo Rida was sampled. I really do feel that the only way we are going to get a reliable paternity test is going to be within the confines of some sort of court order."

The unmarried 31-year-old rap star's legal troubles do not end with his paternity battle, as he was also recently arrested for driving under the influence (DUI).
The 'Low' rapper - real name Tramar Dillard ' was pulled over in June by officers on Miami Beach in Florida, driving a red and black Bugatti car, worth an estimated $1.7 million, after swerving between lanes as he was driving at around 3.30am.

Officers reported he failed a field sobriety test after they smelled alcohol on his breath, and he was transported to a nearby station and reportedly booked for DUI and driving with a suspended license.

Lauryn Hill has given birth to her sixth child

The 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' singer - who has five children, Zion David-Nesta, 13, Selah, 12, Joshua, nine, John, seven, and three-year-old Sarah with on/off partner Rohan Marley - welcomed a baby boy into the world on Saturday night (23.07.11).
Although the baby was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, both Lauryn and the tot are doing well.
A source revealed the 36-year-old musician "had a little scare because the baby came out the womb with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck but all is well now and everyone is happy".
Meanwhile, reports claimed Rohan - who has previously stated he is not the father of Lauryn's sixth child - had dumped Lauryn for Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana.
Isabeli tweeted: "I'm in love with @Romarley's heart. (sic)"
Yet, Rohan took to his own twitter account yesterday (24.07.11) to insist his relationship with Lauryn is fine.
He wrote: "Ms. Hill is the mother of my children, whom I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for. I would never do that.

"The nature of our relationship something we don't expect people who spread gossip for a living to fully understand."
