Ron Artest, known to many as Metta World Peace has gotten blasted by his son's mother for refusing to pay his son's tuition.

According to the Daily News, his son's mother has taken him court demanding that he keep his promise to pay the $38,355 tuition. His ex-girlfriend Jennifer Palma also said in court that the athlete uses the tuition as a way to manipulate her.

"[World Peace] dangles our son's high-school education in front of me and uses his money to control and manipulate me to the detriment of our son."

Their son, 13 year-old Jeron Artest is a star player at Poly Country Day School. She says that her son will be 'devastated' if he cannot play.

She also wants the player to pay $140,000 to take care of his schooling and an additional $250,000 for college. She claims that Artest made $9 million in 2013, therefore he can afford the payments.
