'Love & Hip Hop' Star Stevie J Arrested For Owing $1 Million In Child Support

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Stevie J just learned a hard lesson about being a baby daddy ... you rack up a million-dollar child support debt and you go directly to jail.

Here's what landed Stevie J behind bars. He and his live-in GF had a kid in '97 and '98. In '99 Stevie was ordered to pay around $6,600 a month in child support, which eventually was raised to $8500K.

According to the criminal complaint, Stevie J stopped paying in 2001 -- he's never paid a cent since then. So now the tab is a whopping $1,107,412.

Cops nabbed Stevie J in Georgia. He'll probably bail out soon but then has to face criminal charges in NYC.

You cant be frontin' on tv & ya baby mamas ain't gettin' no checks!

Omg! Stevie J Coming out of his rented mansion in handcuffs is priceless!!!!
