Scary Spice has listed Eddie Murphy as her baby’s father on the birth certificate.

Melanie Brown Scary Spice Photo Melanie Brown, who has said that there is 'absolutely no question that Eddie is the father,' has officially listed the Dreamgirls star as such on her daughter's birth certificate.

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has listed Eddie Murphy’s name on the birth certificate of her infant daughter, her publicist said Friday. The 31-year-old Brown, known as Scary Spice when she was in the megahit group of the ’90s, gave birth to the child April 3 in Santa Monica, Calif.

Brown’s publicist, Nadine Bibi, didn’t immediately respond Friday to an e-mail from The Associated Press asking for details. Arnold Robinson, a spokesman for Murphy, declined comment.

Brown has said ex-boyfriend Murphy is the father. The 46-year-old Dreamgirls star has said he isn’t sure, while Brown has said there is “absolutely no question that Eddie is the father.”

A DNA test will likely give us the answer. This could be a very expensive mistake on Murphy’s part.
