'Murphy is a poor role model for black fathers': Brown

Singer Melanie Brown has again hit out at her ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy for refusing to take a DNA test to prove if he's the father of her baby daughter - calling the actor a poor role model as a black dad.

The former Spice Girl was stunned when Murphy publicly ended their romance on a Dutch TV show in December - when she was five months pregnant - and claimed he didn't know if he was the dad of her then-unborn baby. Brown's daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown was born last month.
