Chris Brown's ex-lover Nia Guzman is denied full custody of their toddler daughter Royalty

Former model Nia Guzman requested to have Chris Brown's visits with Royalty monitored and wanted to deny her mother-in-law the right to see the two-year-old, as well as having him submit a drug test. But despite her attempts, a judge denied all of the 33-year-old's requests.

Instead, the judge kept joint custody for the former couple – with Brown continuing to have his daughter for 12 days a month. The judge also ordered Guzman to repay Brown the $20,000 (£15,482) he ordered the Beautiful People hitmaker to give to Guzman, so she could afford a lawyer.

Guzman, who has a 15-year-old daughter from her previous marriage, was also looking for an increase to her child support from $2,500 a month to $15,000 a month.

Although there was supposed to be a separate hearing on child support, Nia has now "dismissed her support petition", according to TMZ.

She had filed papers in April – claiming the US superstar was unfit to care for Royalty without supervision.

Meanwhile, Brown blasted Guzman for posting a photo on Instagram of their daughter that he did not approve of. In the photo, Royalty is dressed In a black tutu and leg warmers. Furious Brown said: "It's crazy to me that a parent would be OK dressing our daughter like she 16. I ain't cool with that. She is 2!!!"

The former model replied: "If anybody thinks something is wrong with a baby… mad at the world in dance class…in her TUTU… U need to go pray! #Namaste."

The Look At Me Now star hit back: "Dance class is fine even with the leotard. the pics just looks risky in my opinion, this isn't a debate. She is 2. I ain't talking about it on social media any longer. I said my opinion."

The image and messages have since been deleted.
