Is Lil Scrappy broke? The Atlanta rapper had a hot streak when de decided to collaborate with Lil John and jump on the crunk music train several years ago, however, he’s been struggling as a solo artist since the era for crunk music died. In an attempt to revamp his rap career, Scrappy signed up to do the first season of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, and the show’s insane popularity has put him back in the forefront. However, Lil Scrappy’s legal and money issues are still prevalent and last year he had to battle his baby mama and now fiancee Erica Dixon thanks to his recent failure to make child support payments on time. Erica eventually withdrew her request to have his LHHATL checks garnished, and now that the couple is set to marry, things were starting to look up for Lil Scrappy. Unfortunately, now he has creditors seeking to put their paws on the reality star and rapper’s LHHATL earnings. Here’s the report from TMZ:
Long story short … Scrappy was supposed to cough up $72,218.68 to a concert booking company called Heavy Rotation back in 2010 — after he lost a legal battle in GA court. But according to HR, Scrappy never paid up.
The debt has since ballooned to $108,510.38 with interest and attorney’s fees.
Tired of waiting for their loot … HR requested to have chunks of Scrappy’s “Love & Hip Hop” cash go straight to them first, until the debt’s satisifed … which the court signed off on.
Damn! I know Scrappy isn’t too happy about this one.
$100,000? That’s probably what he gets in one season. And if he didn’t save or invest what he made last year, he’s going to have nothing when the show runs its course. People better be smart with the money they make off these short lived reality shows. It won’t last forever!
That’s it? If that’s the case, Bravo pays way better than that. Those housewife chicks make like $300,000-$1,000,000 a season.
Dayum…
Get a little money and then the bill collectors come to take it all. Oh well. That’s why you have to be smart when you come into some money.
Now those checks are about to be garnished again. He just can’t win.
Damn. Time to pay up Scrappy Doo.
Ouch.
You have to pay your debt. Either you do it on time or they will find you later when you do get some money. LOL.
That was fast.
Very.
Poor little Tink Tink
On season 1, Scrappy said to Stevie J during the fight, “Ain’t nobody gettin’ checks in the A!” Well, I guess not with his broke self! lol
LMAO. Scrappy better get it together. And if I was Erica I wouldn’t marry him until he got his finances together cause they’ll come after her too.
