![It’s Official! T.I. Confirms ‘ATL’ Movie Sequel #ATL2 [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/ATL-2-StraightFromThea-2-520x510.png)
It’s been rumored for quite some time now that Jordan has a “secret love child” that lives in the Atlanta area and over the Christmas holidays the net was buzzing after the a 16 year old who goes by the name of Taj Jordan posted a youtube video claiming that Jordan was his dad.
In the video, Taj claims that his mom, relationship expert Pamela Evette Smith, had an affair with Jordan back in the day and that she’d kept it a secret that Jordan was his father.
Smith has remained tight-lipped on the matter, neither confirming or denying it’s validity… until now!
Exclusive details + photos below…
Jordan launched a YouTube video that surprised more than his unsuspecting mother when he revealed to the world that basketball great, Michael Jordan was his biological father.
His admission has raised the eyebrows of many of Jordans’ supporters and called into question Taj Jordan’s claim until now. Ms. Smith is ready to set the record straight and tell her side of the story.
Friends and family have shut the rumor down but a source revealed that was only to protect Smith’s case.
I had shut the story down until now because, Michael had not been served.
She filed the paternity paperwork and he was just served this week.
Supporting her son 100 percent, Ms. Smith has filed a paternity lawsuit seeking to legitimize her son’s claim.
She plans to divulge the nature of her relationship with Michael Jordan as well facts that support her son’s claims.
A court date has been scheduled for the matter March 12, 2013. In the meantime, Taj Jordan says he simply wants a relationship with his famous dad.
So what’s your verdict… does Taj resemble Michael Jordan?
Stay tuned… this story is developing!

this doesn’t surprise me
YEAH IT MAYBE BE TRUE BUT 16 YRS AND YOU WANNA BE SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR SON? GTFOH!!! NO MATTER WHO HE WAS OR HIS MARITAL STATUS YOU NEVER LET YOUR CHILD’S PATERNITY OR FINANCIAL RIGHTS BE PUT TO THE SIDE. IF U AND THAT MAN ARE GROWN ENOUGH TO DO THE DO UNPROTECTED THAN BE GROWN ENOUGH TO HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS IN YOUR CHILD’S BEST INTEREST. MAN & WOMAN UP!!!! TO ME SHE’S MORE TRIFLING B/C IT SEEMS HER SON HAS MORE SENSE THAN SHE DOES AND HAS FORCED EVERYONE’S HAND TO MAKE THE TRUTH FINALLY BE PROVEN WHETHER ITS A YES OR NO TO HIM BEING MJ’s SON. HIS MOM BETTER PRAY HE IS B/C WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT FOR HIM IF HE ISN’T. SMH!!!……JENNY JONES!!!
Michael probably has children all over the world, he is a serial cheater!
I don’t see the resemblance.
Me either.
I think he looks more like his son in that picture of the 2 of them together (Taj is wearing a green shirt) than Marcus Jordan does. Seriously, do a google search of Marcus Jordan and then look at the picture of Taj and Michael and tell me which one you would pick as MJ’s son.
I think the boy looks like his mother; I see no resemblance to MJ.
I would not be surprised if there are several more of MJ’s love children running around here. I grew up idolizing Jordan, until I had the displeasure of meeting him in person. I’m not going to bad mouth him because he acted no different than any of the other famous athletes I’ve encountered when I worked as a VIP hostess in Miami…..but I was let down…thought he could do no wrong. But on another note….perhaps it’s just the picture, but his son sure didn’t get his height.
I worked as a server in college at good establishments frequented by athletes among other upscale people and although I never waited on Jordan I know folks that did and was told we was a jerk. In fact I’m surprised you said he was about the same as other athletes.
I’ve been told he is one of the worst.
So is R. Kelly. The nerve. With his pedofile behind.
All the other ASSHOLE athletes….I was trying to be nice…lol. He actually wanted us to move another party from a table so that him and his entourage could sit down….but had the nerve to tell the women in the party that they could stay….I was floored!!!
Most of these guys have money but lack character and integrity.
Well if it is he has a lot of making up to do to this boy. If not everyone can just move on now knowing the truth.
wow after 16 years now you want to file a paternity suit!!!
I’m saying! Why now?
Because everyone has the right to be acknowledged by both parents.
His mother was dead wrong; however, for not pursuing the paternity issue right when the child was born. Clearly, she put her own self-interests over her son’s. She was a willing participant in bedding a married man, and then bore his alleged child. Slut comes to mind for both her and MJ.
Nevertheless, her son’s outing of MJ on YouTube perhaps forced her to do what she should’ve done almost 17 years ago. I say, good for Taj.
what bothers me is that people always what to say a child is innocent, when the fact remains his mother made the choice to sleep with a married man !choosing to be single not letting Jordan of the hook but ppl I mean the 2 adults is 2 blame. That child will never be excepted by Jordan or his other kids! acknowledge Yeah!Even if Jordan would have been supporting the BASTARD lol The kid would not have had a relationship with Jordan! Jordan is a whore! I feel better now ! lol
Not only is the mother responsible but it says she is a RELATIONSHIP EXPERT! WTF?!?! I really hope she doesn’t make more money than me in my lifetime being a relationship expert. Of course, if she wins this lawsuit she is GUARANTEED to make more money than I EVER WILL!
she won’t get much the boy is 16. i’m sure the support won’t be retro active since she was married to another man who was initiaIIy maned the father.
Wow, think calling a child a bastard is lol funny……….SMH niggas have sunk to an all new low!
That boy looks nothing like MJ
HE HAS THOSE POINTY ASS JORDAN EARS!
That boy dont look no way no how like Jordan.
Where did his nose come from? He doesn’t resemble Michael Jordan AT ALL.
Iooks more Iike Scotty Pippen to me
Don’t see it. He could look like an uncle maybe.
someone doesn’t have to LOOK like someone else to be their biological child … ilook nothing like my Dad and i’M 100% his …… yall know better! and if you don’t, go take a biology class because you sound silly!
Thank You! I look just like my dad, nothing like my mother but I am her child! The lady in the picture must be his mother because he looks like HER.
Exactly.
She is tacky! I would have threatned MJ with a paternity suit and once the results came back he was the father than I would have told him I would keep it from the media if he comes in my child’s life and pay child-support. Now, she looks phucking desperate needing attention, her celebrity wanna-be son wants fame, and now they are trashing MJs name. I am so sick of these mistresses and hoes trying to be the front-runner. Take a seat.
I agree with you! The mother could have handled the situation way more discreet than she has. Question: Did she even tell MJ that he had a son? Additionally, the little boy will be hurt if MJ is either not the dad or does not want a relationship even if he turns out to be the dad. This is why the mother should have handled this privately.
You know she wants money. If she has made it 16 years without any support from MJ, then what else could it be. Even if it is MJ’s child, it will not make them have a relationship. It’s sounds like MJ doesn’t know anything about him.
Dudes with outside kids know if or at least has an idea that a kid could be theirs. If you are out in these streets acting crazy, you will get what you looking for and more. Both of them(Mike and the kid’s mom) knew what they were doing and I have no sympathy for grown folks mess. The kid wants acceptance and to be acknowledged by his famous dad. Sad he had to put this onYOUTUBE.
oh, HE KNOWS!!!
I don’t agree with either of you. The kid, who is 16, said that he was MJ’s kid. The mother THEN slapped MJ with a paternity suit. First of all, the kid grew up without a dad. Him wanting to meet and spend time with his father and have him in his life is COMPLETELY NORMAL. Secondly, if you found out that the father you were longing for is one of the most famous men in our planet’s history, wouldn’t you REALLY want to meet him? I am a huge NBA fan myself. If my father was the best of all-time, but more importantly OWNED AND NBA TEAM!?!?! I would want in on that. That is not a strange phenomenon, either. A 16 year old kid wanting in on the "family business". I don’t see anything wrong with this and I am a Chicagoan and die-hard MJ fan. I can just sympathize with the kid who grew up without a dad but saw him on the news all the time. It sucks. Especially when MJ is building a guest house the size of a hotel in his new Miami mansion. If I were MJ, I would WANT to spend time with the kid anyway. Best to just get it out in the open, say you made a mistake publicly, and get to know the kid. You can fly him to you (or vice versa) in your private jet if you are MJ so it’s not hard logistically.
Mike already knows that boy is his, because there were rumors floating around about him. It is up to a dad with a conscious to step up and claim his outside son;he should do the right thing and bring his blood into the fold. IMO, it is only right.
I thought the mother was married when she was fooking around with Mike
what bothers me is that people always what to say a child is innocent, when the fact remains his mother made the choice to sleep with a married man !choosing to be single not letting Jordan off the hook but ppl I mean the 2 adults is 2 blame. That child will never be excepted by Jordan or his other kids! acknowledge Yeah!Even if Jordan would have been supporting the BASTARD lol who is to say he would have had a relationship with Jordan! MJ is a whore! The Bastard still wld get 5 more years of CS.
@Jeanine & all the specialist replying! Tacky would have been, having an affair with a (known) married man then running to the media ASAP! I applaud her for not disrespecting his then wife. She knew what and who she was dealing with from the beginning ( which wasn’t fair to the child). Where in this article did she trash MJ? This child has just as much of a right to be a part of his fathers life as you and I!. That doesn’t make him a wanna be! He didn’t choose his father, his father and mother did. All ya’ll hatin on him need to pick your battles more carefully. Cause n this one you’re wrong!!!! If the DNA, not looks, say MJ is the father then, his looks makes no different! If you where a DNA specialist, you would not be on this blog! So step back till the results come in!!!!!!
Thank you! It’s always good to know that Straight From the A has SOME intelligent readers! Lordy, there are some seriously judgemental, perfect folks on here; whew we should all be so high and mighty. No one thought that perhaps, he was supporting this child and stopped? There are many scenarios that could have occurred that forced her hand…I don’t think calling him a bastard (an antiquated disgusting term whether true or not), adds any clarity to the snarky comments others made either. Who waits sixteen years? Someone whose verbal agreement was breached! If they were dating in 1987, and hooked back up in 1995 he knew about the son AND DNA WILL TELL THE TRUTH.
Verbal agreement was
He does not resemble him,but MJ can still be the Dad without the resemblance.but for the main time i would hold my tongue until the DNA result is out…
@sexy! DITTO!
…and 16 years later. If this is true, I pray that Michael Jordan, will be a parent now vs make up for lost time. If not, ma’am should be ashamed!
Is it just me but how was he able to have the last name Jordan?
Okay!!!!!! That’s what I am saying.????? How did the last name Jordan come about without matrimony or consent. I am curious.
His last name isn’t Jordan. He has his mother last name and Jordan is one of the many middle names he has. So, she’s suing my Michael so that the boy can have the Jordan last name. I believe he’s doing for his career; he wants to be a rapper from the looks of his YouTube videos.
Cuz jordan already knows he’s the father and sign’d off. Jordan prolly ben in the boy’s life since
day 1. Just never went public with it. I’m sure she been paod well!
Paid
Why should he be any different then his siblings? (If he is MJ’s). See. You couldn’t even spell it right! Lol!! (Paod)?
In Illinois your child can carry any last name
Ohhhhhhh! I didn’t know. WOW! The mother took advantaged of that law. I hope MJ is the dad, because that little boy will be so embarrassed if not.
yeah its not a law ! its just listed on the BC the father that you have to prove ! last name means nothing you can name a child lil wayne seriously lol
A Few other states too
Mj is no better than anyone else could be true I don’t know about ga but in ny u can give ur kid whatever last name u want
I think it should be a law that if the father doesn’t sign the birth certificate that it will be named after the mother. I heard about this years ago and thought "Only in America". It amazes me that there are certain first names bands, but a mother can name their child after a man that has not signed the birth certificate. I also think even if married, there should be a DNA test verifying the parents (especially the father). I am aware in most states that the father is presumed the father if married, but this should not be the case.
I personally feel that the child did not ask to come into the world, it is the responsibility between the man and woman. I will never understand why people who sleep around with random people don’t use protection.
If MJ has not been involved with this child in 16 years, what makes you think he is interested now? MJ has been divorced for a while.
I gave my daughter a different last name in Wisconsin.
No resemblance to me, but that don’t mean MJ isn’t the father.
Do the math people..MJ and Juanita divorced in 2006..his son was a love child that he couldn’t claim and probably didn’t want to..I wouldn’t be surprised if Juanita knew and used that as leverage for her settlement..keep in mind there are morals clauses in what Jordan endorsed..I feel for this child but he will probably never know his father…
who waits 16years later to do a paternity suit? why not do it when the child is younger?
They won’t let you do it in Georgia. Those are good points that it can be done in different states.
Just because she lives in Georgia now doesn’t mean he was born in Georgia. Can you make someone take a paternity test?
I know what that mama wants: A CHECK, BACK (BACK) CHILD SUPPORT, SOMETHING TO PAY THE BILLS WITH… Why would she wait AAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of this time to say, “Hey, my baby daddy might be Michael Jordan.” Ya dumb ass heffa…
Yes, she wants to get in on those Loubs, Birkins, and Chanel bags, lol. Hell, she figure all these other baby mamas rocking them and looking fabulous why can’t she, lol?
I believe there should be a law that makes finding the biological father and establishing paternity of a child with in year of the child’s birth a law, and a warrant filed if the alleged father does not submit to the test.the mother does not establish paternity during that time you are not owed back child support.
There is a law…its called "child abandonment law"
Was she a relationship expert while she was screwing a married man?
We’ll have to see how this plays out but this doesn’t compute and I think he’s not the father.
Jordan was an extremely wealthy man 16 years ago. No way this lady keeps this type of secret without serious compensation to keep quiet.
Also I doubt at the very least even if she agreed to keep quiet she didn’t negotiate some kind of trust fund for the kid.
How are you a "secret"…for 19 years?Jordan must have lowered the amount of that hush money this month, there’s no way this chick wasn’t being paid off. As for resemblance, when did every child come out looking like their father’s twin?Y’all kill me with that.
I think he paid this woman to keep things on the low.Since Jordan is getting married again;she is trying to remind him he need to have a relationship with his son.Before he starts over with a new family.Also for the people saying establish paternity with in a year,that’s not possible.Sometimes it takes more than a year to find a non custodial parent.You can give the state their social,and it will not make finding the absent parent faster.Some men get jobs paid in cash to keep from being tracked by the state.If that was to ever happen,then men like Lebron James daddy will be trying to sue the state for taking away their parental rights.That’s what happen to Lebron.His pops gave up his rights.Then years later he finds that his son is a mega superstar and sues Lebron and his mother. Men can’t have it both ways for their own benefit.
No amount of money could keep me quiet about who my child’s father is…….
Bogus, what mother in her right mind would deprive her child of a MJ level child support check if he was entitled to it? I’ll answer my own question…none would right mind or not!!!
Even if he is his dad, the boy missed out on everything he should have had from him: a father’s love, relationship, life with his family, etc, etc. Now it would take so much for them to establish anything meaningful. That he was hidden will sting him the most for the rest of his life.
It doesn’t matter, y’all are still going to stand in line and fight over the next pair of Jordan’s.
Lol!
Well my son’s father is Shaq and he is know 26 years old. Tall , 6.3 , twins.
womp womp
This is joe jackson bad!
His last name is not Jordan, its Reynolds…full name is Grant pierce jay jordan reynolds…and to be honest each name sounds like that if a basketball player..lol..grant hill, paul pierce, dr jay, michael jordan..haha
No way. I don’t believe this..a scam
If you can get past the complexion, he defintely has his father’s mouth.
I am a firm believer that you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. This should not be played out in the public arena. If Michael is his father it doesn’t mean that he is going to welcome this young man with open arms. Michael might feel resentful of the way this was handled. At most this young man & his mom will get if this is true will be back child support but I highly doubt if he will ever have the relationship and affection of a father and child of which is priceless. If Michael is his father I highly doubt if he will ever be accepted by Michaels other children or Michaels siblings or Michaels mother. Sometimes people should think before they act or speak and remember that sometimes you can and will cut off your nose to spite your face. That young man’s mother should have told her son that they were going to handle this another way and not go on the internet. I think that would have been the responsible and mature thing to do. How is Yvette going to feel if the paternity results come back negative? You know the old saying momma’s baby, daddy’s maybe. You cannot strong arm someone to make them accept you. Love cannot be forced or bought. Michael may be his biological father but it doesn’t mean that he will ever be his Dad.
BTW, Taj looks like Mike’s deceased dad. He just has a lighter complexion.
You are correct! This kid looks like a lighter version of MJ’s dad, James Jordan.
Also, you all have to know that Michael is notoriously CHEAP!
In fact, Juanita had to consult with an attorney prior to them getting married because she’d had their first son Jeffery when they were temporarily broken up and he wasn’t stepping up to the plate in terms of child support.
Also, MJ paid a white girl for years to keep quiet about her baby (again born during his marriage to Juanita) and when he stopped paying she sued — only to have a paternity test reveal MJ was NOT the father.
I’ve read on other sites that this girl actually dated MJ before he married Juanita and obviously continued to afterward.
Not saying that’s right but the fact that she didn’t run to a tabloid — which would have paid her a mint for her story — tells me she and MJ had a gentlemen’s agreement that she’d keep quiet and he’d keep paying support.
Who knows what he’s decided to do now that he’s remarrying.
The two adults (if MJ is indeed the father) are at fault because children shouldn’t have to wait 16 years ask for a relationship with a parent via the internet.
But with MJ having a team of lawyers, managers and agents to go through making it public was probably her last and only resort.
That nigga look like Future.
Shout out to walkin’ in your dad’s footsteps (shoes).
Why wait 16 years? How is that fair to the child?? He deserved to have a relationship with his father from the start.
Welfare checks must’ve ran out….In need of funds…..
Michael Jordan was narried when you got with him so what now? The only victim here is the child but why spill the tea now??? I can’t!
Word on the curb was Mike always paid hush money to his hookers.
AND PUT A DAMN CONDOM ON…SHEESH!
When it come to the case of 16yr old Taj Jordan: MICHAEL You ARE the FATHER! (In My Maury Voice)
And the point of you making this video was because of what…who cares, if you want MJ to be in your life more then you tell him..not the public..Taj take a sit and stop trying to get that 10 minutes or fame, and I know MJ probably was taking care of him secretly or else his mother would have been made this public
16 YEARS THIS SOME BULL YOU SUCKA IF YOU BELIEVE THIS
His last name isn’t Jordan, his last name is Reynolds. In most states you can give a child any last name you want to…there is no permission necessary.
Just like his fathe…
Hmmmmmm Why so quiet for 16 years – and now asking for a test – something is not clean in the buttermilk – I would not be surprise if this child is his and now days who cares – this is the year 2013 – his ex wife got a huge amount for a reason – maybe not to talk about the hidden babies who are going to come out and make their claim – I’m surprise the boy mother is black
Cause she was MARRIED to ATL guy for long time after dating Dominique Wilkins in early 90’s. Recently DIVORCED, House FORECLOSED,loads of bad debt and bad credit. works as flight stewardess and oral sex instructor
Isn’t it funny how its mostly women who are the one’s putting the other woman down. If this was about a check she could have been paid 16 yrs ago. Shit he could have been paying her all along. I think this is about a child wanting to be recognized in public by his father. From the pictures Mike has had some contact with him.
why did she wait 16yrs? if mj was paying her i’m sure there was a confidentiality clause.
also, what about the man she was married to when taj was born, isnt he the presumed father ?
There is just to much fucking this person and that person in this world, and unprotected.
Thank goodness Juanita already got her payment…she ain’t gotta deal with this mess!
LMAO @ THIS BASTARD BEGGING FOR MONEY!!! DUDE U JUST A BASTARD!!!
Hey,
You are out of line for calling this kid a bastard. Show some respect and not your ignorance.
This is a boy who is yearning to be acknowledged. I feel for this kid because he’s receiving a great deal of negative feedback for forcing the real "bastard" in this case, Michael Jordan, and Taj’s triflin’ ass mammy, to either rule in or out paternity.
When one thinks about it, he was actually clever in blastin’ that bald-headed, self-hatin,’ color struck fool on YouTube.
And we all thought Scottie Pippin was triflin’ for havin’ bunch of baby mamas.
Yes, he has a mean demeanor and is cruel to fans. I wonder will all of his outside kids will stake their claims to their inheritance. Mike will reap what he has sown.
Pam WAS MARRIED when the boy was conceived and born. I went to same ATL high school and she was fooling with Dominique Wilkins for long time then got married to a guy name Craig or Greg Reynolds until recently divorced. Load of bad credit and debt. house foreclosed, she work as oral sex instructor and flight stewardess.
From what I’ve gathered since reading about this in past couple days the mother’s ex-husband Glenville Raynolds was only put on record as the father, but neither he or Michael Jordan took paternity test to proof who is the real father. The mother probably did it to protect Jordan at the time. I saw a pic of Mr Raynolds and this boy doesn’t look like him at all. But Taj has features that looks very similar to Michael Jordan to me even though he’s more attractive cause of his mother. Look at that pic of him posing with Jordan when he was younger and you see similarity. Even his image in the video looks like pics of Jordan when Jordan was younger. This boy has a combination of his mother and Jordan’s looks, but Jordan’s features shows more. I’m an artist who draws portraits well, so I tend to like to dissect features and I think from below the eyebrows this boy resembles Michael Jordan. It has to be Jordan who is the father or someone who looks like him. Glenville isn’t the father. My guess is its Jordan since at least he admits he was sleeping with the mother at that time.
It’s sad that people insults this kid for wanting to have Jordan admit he’s the father. He deserves to know. Michael Jordan should take a DNA test to prove he’s not the father if he’s so certain. Its shameful that he wouldn’t want to be in the boy’s life if he’s his son even though he’s interacted with him in the past. Btw, examinar website has pic of Glenville Raynolds. Google "Glenville G. Reynolds: Legal father is not always biological father"
You must be a piss poor artist because not only did the boys mother lie, but the boy looks a great deal like his father, Glenville Reynolds. You would have to be blind not to see the resemblance!!!
This kids father is Glenville G Reynolds. And he does look like him. MJ is no saint, but he is not a deadbeat dad. This woman and her son are pulling a con and Jordan to jumpstart the boys rap career and satisfy her revenge that MJ never contacted her after his divorcce. She had Glen Reynolds arrested for failure to pay support in 2011. Would she do that if he wasn’t the real father?
