Brown, who shares 4-year-old son, Antonio, Jr., with Shameika Brailsford, has been accused of running off with the boy and refusing to return him.

Dismissing the allegations, Brown said, "My son is a happy kid. That's not something I'm worried about. My kid is here for a reason. I'm a good father. He's a happy kid if you've ever seen him."

Brailsford filed the complaint because she fears their son isn't being taking care of properly.
