FLINT -- Local rapper MC Breed was sent to jail for at least 60 days today during a child support hearing in front of Probate Judge Jennie Barkey.
The entertainer, whose real name is Eric Breed, was arrested shortly before he was to perform with Lil Wayne at Perani Arena Thursday evening for owing more than $200,000 in child support to three different women.
Attorney Jay Clothier, who represented Breed during the hearing, said the rapper's career was not doing as well as it had been and he was not able to pay the child support.
Breed spoke briefly saying, "I've done my best to give back what I can."
Barkey seemed unimpressed by Breed's statement that he spent time with his children.
"You've given back $50 in three years," she said. "That's the best you can do?"
