The wife of a former member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is fighting for a $75,000 monthly alimony payment.

Nicole Frusciante has filed legal papers demanding that the band's ex-guitarist John significantly increase his initial $20,000 payment, and John has now addressed the new request.

In the latest court documents uncovered by TMZ, the famous musician essentially calls the request insane and points out that $21,000 of it is earmarked for renting an entire music studio.

He is then seemingly quoted as saying he's done supporting her bid at becoming a professional musician.

'I don't know if you can call her recording efforts a hobby or a past-time ... but it seems improper to characterize Nicole as a musician.'

According to an earlier TMZ report, Nicole claims that she needs the higher payment to maintain her quality of living. She states that she has no more than $30,000 in her bank account.
