Gladys Knight says her son stooped so low in their legal battle –

He attempted to extort his own mother if she didn’t cut him a break –

The R & B legend has been fighting Shanga Hankerson over the chicken & waffles joints that bear her name in the Atlanta area — and when he didn’t respond to the lawsuit the clerk entered a default victory for Gladys.
