Stevie J owes $1M in child support, but wants to talk music

What a Dogg!

“​Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star Steven Jordan is accused of being one of New York’s biggest deadbeat dads ​— but he​ seems more interested in plugging his soon-to-be-released song with rap icon Snoop Dogg​ than discussing a massive child support debt​.

Following a Manhattan federal court appearance, Jordan — otherwise known as “Stevie J” on the VH1 reality show “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” — kept mum about charges he’s fallen more than $1 million behind in child support. But the flashy Jordan — sporting a midnight blue suit with a white windowpane plaid design — went out of his way to later tell reporters to “look​ ​out” for his new ​record​​.​

“My new single, ‘DNA’ with Snoop, is coming out in the next few weeks,” he boasted.

When asked about the pending criminal charges, all he said was​,​ “I love my team, and I love my children.”

Jordan was arrested two weeks ago in Atlanta on charges that he shirked his child support obligations in New York, failing to pay $1.1 million in court-ordered child support for a boy, 17, and girl, 15, who live with their mom — his former live-in girlfriend — in Pennsylvania.

During his court appearance Monday before Magistrate Judge James Francis IV in Manhattan, Francis noted that Jordan tested positive for marijuana and cocaine at the time of his arrest. He released him on $25,000 bail but restricted his travel to parts of New York and Georgia unless it’s work-related and ordered him to undergo drug testing.

Jordan declined to address the positive test.

His lawyer, Mike Bellinger, declined comment.

Jordan makes $27,000 a month on the show, according to an affidavit by Vincent Maldonado, a special agent for the Department of Health and Human Services. And between January and August of last year, he raked in $193,499, according to feds.

Jordan had $18,566 of that reality-TV money garnished, but it barely made a dent in his greater debt.
