The Game Continues To Fight Against Potential Home Seizure In Court

November 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in 2015, The Game was sued by a former contestant of the VH1 show, She Got Game. Priscilla Rainey accuses him of sexual assault, alleging that she was groped nonconsensually during an off-camera date. After the rapper repeatedly failed to show up for court, the judge ruled in Rainey’s favor. She was awarded $7 million. She’s had a difficult time collecting the judgment, however, and began going after his house in August.

In new documents filed earlier this week, obtained by AllHipHop, he asks the court to dismiss the Order for Sale of Dwelling and order the Marshal to release the levy. Rainey accuses The Game of transferring his home’s deed to Wack 100 to prevent it from being seized. He denies being personally served paperwork about the potential home seizure at all.

The Game Alleges He Was Never Served With Paperwork About Potential Home Seizure

“No individual delivered any court papers to me on August 22, 2024 at any location,” he alleges, per the outlet. “No individual approached me on August 22, 2024 at any location and stated anything that would suggest to me they were attempting to serve me with court papers. I ultimately became aware of the Order to Show Cause Why Order for Sale of Dwelling Should Not Be Made from media reports about it.” In the documents, The Game’s team also questions the man who claims to have served him, alleging that this isn’t the case.

The potential home seizure isn’t the only financial blow The Game has been up against lately, however. Last month, his car was also broken into in Los Angeles. Law enforcement sources told TMZ at the time that he was robbed of roughly $100K in jewelry and designer bags.

Diddy Loses $100 Million Judgment Against Sexual Assault Accuser

September 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy will reportedly have to pay out a $100 million default judgment to Michigan inmate Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, who has accused the Bad Boy mogul of sexual assault during a Detroit party in 1997. Lenawee County Circuit Court Judge Anna Marie Anzalone made the ruling in court on Monday, according to the Detroit Metro Times. The update comes after Cardello-Smith filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop Diddy from selling his properties, including the Los Angeles mansion he recently listed for sale. Homeland Security agents had raided the property back in March.

Cardello-Smith claimed in a previous hearing that Diddy once visited him in prison in an attempt to convince him to settle the case. The Detroit Metro Times reports he showed records with Diddy’s name on the visitation list. “[Diddy] stated that he would make me an offer to end the case and what happened to me because of other things that he stated he has going on in his life that require his money right now,” he told the judge, as noted by AllHipHop. He added that Diddy said “he wants to sell everything off,” and promised to pay him $2.3 million to drop the case.

As for putting his Los Angeles home on the market, Cardello-Smith remarked: “He did it the day after I served him the suit.” He further alleged that Diddy admitted he would have a better chance of dealing with the default judgment than battling the case. “I said, ‘So you want to hide your money,” Cardello-Smith recalled, to which Diddy allegedly responded: “‘Yeah. You know how we get down.’”

Diddy is reportedly attempting to sell the mansion for $61 million. It’s located on what is known as “Billionaire’s Row,” and boats Kylie Jenner, Jimmy Iovine, and more celebrities as neighbors. He is also facing numerous other lawsuits related to sexual misconduct but has firmly denied all of the allegations. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Sean Kingston Owes Luxury Jeweler $916K After Ignoring Watch Lawsuit

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sean Kingston has found himself at the center of various legal issues as of late. Recently, one more was even added to his list. According to Baller Alert, the performer was sued by the luxury jeweler Dream Watch back in June. The company claims that he contacted them to express interest in two watches, a Richard Mille Model RM 65.01 Automatic and a Patek Philippe Calibre.

Allegedly, he agreed to pay for them both at the time, which added up to roughly $912K. The company even sent a rep from Malaysia to Kingston’s LA home that year to inspect the watches. Allegedly, he promised to wire the payment right away. Unfortunately, however, Dream Watch accuses him of failing to follow through with his end of the deal and eventually ghosting them.

They allege that Kingston proceeded to make various excuses, even promising that his mother would send the money, but ultimately they were left with nothing. Initially, the company asked for $1,054,107 in damages. Last week, the artist was ordered to pay a $916K default judgment, because he reportedly ignored the lawsuit altogether. The news arrives shortly after Kingston and his mother Janice Turner were arrested for alleged fraud. This followed a raid of his Florida home, and he was later released on a $100K bond. They pleaded not guilty to multiple federal charges earlier this month, and are seeking a jury trial.

The duo is accused of having “unjustly enriched themselves by falsely representing that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment transfers as payment for vehicles, jewelry, and other goods.” What do you think of Sean Kingston getting hit with a huge judgment for ignoring a lawsuit from a luxury jeweler?
