N.Y.'s highest court denies Sean "Diddy" Combs appeal

(Albany, NY - AP) - Diddy has to come up with the dough.

Today, New York state's highest court declined to hear music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs' appeal of a lower court decision ordering him to pay nearly 20,000 dollars a month in child support payments.

The hip-hop star was ordered last year to pay ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim for the care of their 12-year-old son Justin.

The order issued last year by the state's Appellate Division came after Combs appealed a Westchester Family Court ruling that he should pay 35,000 dollars a month. Hylton-Brim had sued for higher monthly payments and nearly 400,000 dollars in back support.

The appellate court later reduced the monthy support amount to more than 19,000 dollars.

The 36-year-old Combs also pays child support to model Kim Porter for their son, Christian.
