Rapper Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony poses in the press room at the 2007 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on November 18, 2007 in Los Angeles, California.

The results of the DNA have come in.

Layzie Bone was dealing with some legal issues earlier this year after a woman claimed the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper was the father of her child. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has filed a paternity complaint against the rapper after Shateira Marketa Childress, the child's mother, filed a complaint against him. After having to undergo a DNA test, the results have officially come in for his paternity case.

According to TMZ, the DNA test results have come in and have officially determined that he's the father of his daughter, Sevyn Childress-Howse. The DNA samples were collected from Layzie Bone, Shateira and the child in April and the results revealed that he's nearly 100 percent the father.

After establishing paternity, it looks like Layzie Bone will have to wait and see what the Michigan Department of Health and Human Service determines he'll have to pay in child support.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened to Layzie Bone. A similar situation occurred in 2013 with another woman who claimed he was the father and was ultimately right. Layzie Bone also has three kids with his wife.

Aside from his baby mama drama, he made headlines last year after he got into a feud with Migos and then 21 Savage, by association. The feud ultimately died down and haven't really heard much about it since the beginning of the year.
