According to The Blast, Kurupt's estranged wife, Jovan Brown, is seeking $14,000 per month in spousal support claiming he left her after finding out she had cancer.

Jovan claims Kurupt left her in a time of need after she helped with business matters such as booking deals, hotels, travel, and "working to make him an established artist."

He also claimed to have helped her with some medical expenses although she would steal his money and deposit royalties into her personal accounts.

Houston Rockets 'Determined' To Add Carmelo Anthony

After losing two of their top eight scorers, Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah, the Houston Rockets are looking to add a new player to the roster.

According to NBA.com, the Houston Rockets are "determined" to add Carmelo Anthony, once his departure from the Oklahoma City Thunder is secured.

NBA analysts say the Thunder could waive and stretch Anthony's $27.9 million salary which would save the franchise $107 million in salary and tax, within the next seven to 10 days if they're unable to find a trade partner.

Carmelo is coming off of his worst season in the NBA, averaging 16.2 points on 40.4% shooting.
Melo opted into the final year of his contract for $28 million which would cost the Thunder a record tax bill.
