Raising one child is hard work. But raising 22? Seems impossible.
And yet, here we are, telling the story of one Orlando Shaw. Brother Shaw is going through some tough times right now.
He has 22 children with 14 different women, and he’s having trouble taking care of all of them.
It’s a sad story really, one that was made funny by a recent TV interview Orlando gave, where he talked about his predicament.
Orlando’s story really isn’t that unique, however. Over the years we’ve seen numerous accounts of fathers who had an overwhelming amount of kids.
Scroll down to read about some of these crazy stories.
We’ll start off with this gentleman name Keith Macdonald. In 2010, news outlets were reporting that Macdonald had 15 children, by 15 different women. (Even that is disputed, one of his baby mamas claims he has 16 kids.) Making matters worse is the fact that, at the time, he didn’t work, “because it gets boring.” Times got so bleak for Keith, the next year he tried to fake his own death to get out of paying child support. Ladies, please stay away from this man.
You know sh*t is bad when you out here breaking records. Last year a story came out about Desmond Hatchett, who had 30 kids, with 11 different women. Thankfully, the story wasn’t true. Desmond actually has 24 kids, by 11 different women. Oh. And he had four children in a year — TWICE. Oh, twice.
Let’s go overseas for our next father of the year: Jamie Cumming. Jamie, who is from Dundee, Britain, had 17 children by 16 different women. What makes this story tragic is that a couple of months ago, Jamie was convicted of murder after he stabbed a man to death, leaving all those children without a everyday father figure.
What’s with Tennessee? About a year ago, there were two Tennessee stories that came out within the same week: one was about a man with 21 children and the other is about a man with 23 children. We just loved posting the video you see above because of the headline WorldStar used: “This Is Sad: 2 Fathers Got 78 Kids By 46 Different Mothers And None Of Them Want To Pay Child Support!” Because, you know, 21 + 23 = 78.
And then there are the athletes. These dudes are kings at this kinda stuff, man. Here are some of the most notable examples:
Evander Holyfield
Hall of Fame boxer Evander Holyfield, who still fights, mind you, has 11 kids with eight baby mamas. Which is tough, considering that he’s been going broke for a couple of years now.
Travis Henry
Troubled Ex-Denver Bronco running back Travis Henry had enough kids to make his own peewee football team. He had eleven children with 10 baby mamas. Times are pretty hard for Henry, who’s not in the league anymore.
Antonio Cromartie
NY Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie is a fine football player. He needs to stay like that too, if he doesn’t want to go broke. Antonio has 12 kids with nine different baby mamas. (He also needs to work on, you know, remembering his kids’ names.)
George Foreman
Ex-boxing great George Foreman has 12 children. Five of his kids are boys and they are all named George. He also has a daughter named Georgetta. (Apparently, Georgia doesn’t have enough orgetta in it.)
Jason Caffey
All these athlete stories are pretty sad, because it seems like they are all going broke (with the exception of George Forman, who made a fortune off that damn grill.) Ex-NBA player Jason Caffey is another sad story. He’s broke as a joke, even though he made close to $30 million dollars during his career. He also has ten kids with eight baby mamas. Damn, son.
Calvin Murphy
Calvin Murphy is in the NBA hall-of-fame. He’s also in the less decorated hall-of-baby-daddies because he has 14 kids with nine baby mamas.
Athletes aren’t the only celebrities f*cking up out here; there’s at least one notable rapper:
Shawty Lo
Shawty Lo has 11 different children by 10 different women. Everything you need to know about that man’s life is in the preview you see above for his All of My Baby Mamas show which, thankfully, didn’t get picked up.
Then there’s this man: His name is Ziona Chana. He lives in some secluded spot in India. He has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren. Not only that, but they all live in a four-storied building with 100 rooms. We wonder what holidays are like?
