John Singleton’s Daughter Demands $1 Million From Estate

*One of John Singleton’s daughters is demanding one million dollars from his estate while her mother is seeking back child support payments. 

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Cleopatra Singleton who is John’s daughter with Vestria Barlow, claims her late father maintained a $1 million life insurance policy in her name. She wants the funds to be paid out to her ASAP.

Meanwhile, Cleopatra’s mother believes she is owed $438,125 in back child support for the two children she shared with Singleton. Vestria claims John stopped paying child support for their son Maasai before his 18th birthday. She also claims he failed to pay the full amount of his child support obligations for Cleopatra at the same time. Now she’s looking to cash out. 

Singleton died after suffering a stroke in 2019. His mother, Sheila Ward, said at the time that he suffered from hypertension for years, and that is what likely triggered the stroke. He was 51.

As The Jasmine Brand reports, citing RadarOnline, the collection includes Spider-Man comic books, several personal journals and director’s binders, a painting of Tupac worth $75k, various scripts and production art for his films, and the lowrider from Singleton’s film “Baby Boy,” worth an estimated $50k.

Ward was put in charge of administering her son’s estate. Singleton’s children, Justice, Selenesol, Hadar, Massai, Cleopatra, Isis, and Seven reportedly share a 1/7 interest in the estate.

In a previous filing, Singleton’s mother submitted her final report as an administrator of her son’s estate. According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, via MSN, the report reveals that “after handling debts and selling off assets the estate value is listed as $6,858,541.41. The assets include a Los Angeles home, a 1999 Lexus, a 2003 Mercedes Benz, and a 2012 sailboat all worth a total of $2.3 million,” the outlet writes.

According to The Jasmine Brand, as a part of a new filing, Ward is seeking $17k in compensation for her work on managing the estate. The judge has yet to sign off on the request.
