OJ Simpson’s Estate Is Reportedly In Shambles Trying To Settle His Debts

by

The executor of OJ Simpson’s estate is reportedly desperately trying to come up with the funds to pay off numerous creditors the late NFL legend owed money to before his death. Malcolm LaVergne, who served as Simpson’s longtime lawyer, told TMZ on Tuesday that he’s trying to get $269,000 from one of Simpson’s homes to come up with the money. However, he’s dealing with “strong resistance” to his efforts to do so.

LaVergne says Simpson’s son, Justin, whose mother was Nicole Brown Simpson, helped him purchase the Las Vegas home back in 2022. He estimates they put $159K into the home, which has helped to significantly increase the value. Regardless, it’s still a small step in covering the $30 million judgment for Simpson’s murder case and a massive tax lien that still needs to be paid. While he was famously acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife and Ron Goldman, he was still found liable in a Santa Monica civil court. Apparently the unpaid interest on the judgment has increased the amount to upwards of $100 million. As for the tax lien, it amounts to $500,000.

LaVergne is hoping to get permission to sell some of OJs other belongings as well. One item LaVergne is looking for to help him with the debts is OJ’s missing Pro Football Hall of Fame ring. He told TMZ that it “belongs to the estate and I want it placed at my feet.” Additionally, there’s a particularly valuable Rolex watch that should fetch a steep price.

OJ passed away back in April after a battle with cancer. He was 76 years old. Be on the lookout for further updates on OJ Simpson and his estate on HotNewHipHop.

Master P Dodges Questions About Owing Artists Money On “The Breakfast Club”

by

Master P was asked about Jess Hilarious, Fat Trel, and Lil Romeo all claiming that the legendary rapper owes them money for his latest appearance on The Breakfast Club. During the interview, Master P mostly dodged providing a concrete answer to hosts DJ Envy and Charlamagne. Jess Hilarious has accused Master P of owing her $15,000 for work she did on the 2019 film I Got the Hook Up 2 while Fat Trel has made similar claims. Even his son, Romeo, has been engaged in a public dispute with the music mogul.

“I feel like we are destroying each other by not thinking,” Master P said in the interview. “We just talking. Me, I’m a humble man. I’m a God-fearing man. I come from the streets, I tried to change my life. I want to show people how to grow up, change and do what I’ve done.” He added, “I feel like we don’t value relationships no more. All we value is views, TikToks, likes, followers. But what about when you burning those bridges and you have to come back on that bridge? Everything that go up come down.”

“Anybody give you an opportunity, you should be able to value that and be thankful,” he continued. As for the Jess situation specifically, he claimed that he doesn’t personally handle payments for his productions. “This other thing happened six years ago,” he continued. “I’m saying, why are we arguing and fussing about that? Other cultures are not doing that…That’s the past. We can’t change the past but we can change the future. But we can be thankful of somebody gave me an opportunity.”

Viewers on social media weren’t happy with Master P’s response to the situation. One joked, “Master P saying a whole bunch of nothing on this breakfast club interview. You owe folks bread or not og lol stop beating around the bush.” Others accused him of “talking in circles” and saying “bullshit.” Check out Master P’s appearance on The Breakfast Club below.
