Chris Brown has made no secret of his love for daughter Royalty on social media, and apparently, he's fed up with his baby mama. 

According to TMZ, the 26-year-old recording artist has filed legal docs in Houston to establish paternity. The site reports that Brown and Royalty's mother, Nia Guzman, have been fighting over child support and custody of their daughter, whom Breezy first introduced to the world back in April with an adorable Instagram. 

TMZ claims that Guzman is asking for $15,000 a month in child support and that Brown is also wanting to establish a clear custody agreement.

As E! News previously reported, Nia and Royalty are based in Houston, and in April, a source told E! News that the recording artist sees his daughter "all the time."

"He wants Nia and the baby to move to California to be closer to him. Nia is open to it," the source said, adding that "there's no formal visitation schedule in place." 

The insider also said that Brown and Guzman have no interest in coupling up, but were "on good terms" at the time.

"Neither Chris nor Nia is interested in a romantic relationship, which makes things easier. He can do what he wants, she can do what she wants—there's no stress about that."

"I honestly never knew I could love someone as strong as I do," Brown captioned an Instagram in May of his daughter peacefully sleeping. "I'm gonna give her the world."
