*Martin Lawrence has agreed to cover the costs of his daughter Jasmin Lawrence’s upcoming wedding to Eric Murphy, son of fellow comedian Eddie Murphy.
During an appearance on Sherri, Lawrence explained that he and Murphy had a mutual understanding, as Murphy has already paid for several of his children’s weddings. Although Lawrence previously joked about avoiding the expense, he has since accepted the responsibility.
“Eddie said, ‘Naw, naw,’ Lawrence said of Murphy’s refusal to pay for the wedding. “He said I had to pay for the last six weddings. ‘Cause Eddie got a lot of children,” the comedian continued. “So he said, ‘You paying for this one.’ So I don’t have a problem with it.”
