Da Brat‘s got some bad news coming her way. You see, she owes a one time cheerleader $6.4 million for a nightclub assault. And yes, you guessed it, the woman is trying to get her hands on every penny she get from Da Drat.
The woman has set her sights on all money the rapper made for appearing in the “Set it Off” play that recently traveled around the country to rave reviews.
Da Brat, as The Blast reminds, was sued by a former NFL cheerleader, Shayla Stevens, over a 2007 nightclub attack where Da Brat hit her in the face with a rum bottle. A jury found the rapper liable and awarded Stevens a total of $6.4 million.
Earlier this year, Da Brat starred in a theatrical adaptation of the 1996 film “Set it Off.” The show ran from March to May in Atlanta and has since played in various cities. Da Brat played the role of Cleo, made famous in the film by Latifah.
According to court documents, Stevens fired off a subpoena to Ticketmaster, who sold tickets to the play, demanding they turn over all contracts with Da Brat and information about her salary. Ticketmaster says the rapper was not their employee and claims to not owe her a dime. They pleaded with the court to not allow Stevens to drag them into the battle.
Right about now we wouldn’t want to be in Da Brat’s shoes. Meanwhile, the judge has yet to make a decision.
