Rich The Kid's had a major year so far. The rapper picked up two platinum plaques for "Plug Walk" and "New Freezer" with Kendrick Lamar. In addition, his debut album, The World Is Yours just went gold. However, he's also been dealing with some issues in his personal life. The rapper's estranged wife filed for divorce earlier in the year and recently accused him of ignoring the papers. He's since responded to it and now, he's fighting for custody of his kids and he wants to prevent his wife from getting any money after everything is said and done.

According to The Blast, Rich The Kid finally responded to divorce papers filed by his estranged wife. The rapper made it clear that he doesn't want her to receive any money out of his pocket for legal bills or spousal support. RTK is currently fighting for custody of his two children. He also wants to prevent Willis from receiving any financial support. RTK is currently fighting for joint physical and legal custody of the kids which would significantly lower child support payments to his estranged wife.

Willis filed for divorce in March and shocked the world after she revealed that Rich The Kid has two children. She was fighting for full custody of their children and wanted Rich The Kid to receive visitation rights. She was also looking to receive child and spousal support following the divorce.

The divorce case is still on going.
