CNN reported, the ex-girlfriend of P. Diddy was taking him to court to increase the child support checks from $5k to $21,782. Not per year, per month. The suit claims P. Diddy is not taking care of his son. http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/05/24/people.diddysupport.ap/index.html
Puff replies to this accusation with... "I do take care of my child to my fullest, that's something that should be rewarded..."
Per the CNN article, P. Diddy also pays child support to his girlfriend, Kim Porter, the mother of his second child, Christian, who went to court seeking more money when they were estranged.
Although P. Diddy claimed Hylton-Brim was driven by "greed," he also said their relationship was good. "I've forgiven her on it, but I'm not going to let up on it."
It appears Puff-The-Magic's problems may have started, not with greed of ex's, but his personal choices. He has two children out of marriage. Yes, it his his choice. However his selfishness will contribute to both of his children having difficulties as they get older.
In the kid's head, "Dad is a superstar, Mom gets pregnant, mom and dad do not love each other, mom wants Dad to pay more because $60k/year just does not cut it anymore. Dad pushes back, mom hires a lawyer, Dad pays $140k/year.
The pressures of growing up are plenty under relatively ideal conditions. A selfish-superstar dad + no marriage vows + greedy mom(s) = child with emotional problems.

The moral of this story (or at least one possible moral :) is not to let the snake into the cave without a hat! OK, silly I know, perhaps stupid but I just got to work and am tired and hungry and can't think of anything more clever now :-)
Seriously though, the responsibility to have sex and not get pregnant lies with BOTH parents, even if this is one of "those cases" where the women will try to get pregnant to exploit a rice super-star.
Do I think the mothers should get that much money? NO. Are the mothers doing it out of personal greed over the desire to help their children? YES. Will all that money help the kid with future emotional problems? NO.
Should P-Diddy-Puff-Daddy-Dizzle (or whatever he is called now) still have to pay through the nose? I am inclided to say YES. Now, I am the first to go against many Americans' greedy habit of sueing for ungodly amounts of money for often minor things. BUT, maybe if P-Poofy-Daddely-Doodle was forced to put the money he was going spend on another gold necklace into his progeny, then maybe, just MAYBE, he might actually get some sense and not let this happen again. Of course it has happened twice, so.....
