Tyga’s mom faces car trouble
Tyga’s mother could lose her car after the rapper failed to keep up repayments.
The ‘Rack City’ hitmaker is the subject of legal documents from a woman in Orange County, California, who claims she acted as a middleman on a Range Rover lease for the 26-year-old star’s mom.
The unnamed woman claimed Tyga has missed some of the $1,000-a-month repayments on the $60,000 Evoque model, and she plans to report the vehicle stolen if he doesn’t pay up, TMZ reports.
The news comes shortly after Tyga’s own Ferrari was seemingly repossessed, while he was also recently the subject of a $200,000 lawsuit filed by jeweller Jason of Beverly Hills due to an allegedly unpaid purchase of a watch and chain in 2013, and has had action taken against him by more than one landlord for unpaid rent.
However, the star’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, claimed Tyga – who is in a relationship with Kylie Jenner – has now assembled a new team of top business managers, attorneys and accountants in order to help him clear up some issues that came up when he didn’t have proper representation.
The new team are said to be working around the clock to get his finances in order and pay his debts, as well as ensuring he won’t be "taken advantage of" again.
It was recently revealed lawyers acting for Jason of Beverly Hills want to quiz Kylie, 19, on Tyga’s finances.
Danny Abir of Abir Cohen Treyzon Salo, LLP, said in a statement: "The examinations will be done separately and the line of questions will have to do with Tyga’s finances – including source of funds used for gifts made to Ms. Jenner."
Insiders told E! News that the couple "share funds", while another source claimed the attorneys think the only way they will get Tyga to pay up is by targeting the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star.
The source said: "Going after the Kardashians is the only way he’ll get what he’s owed. Kylie is really upset about it."
If Tyga or Kylie – who has received a huge diamond ring and a number of luxury cars as gifts from the star – fail to show up for questioning, the lawyer said his team will be "asking for the judge to issue a bench warrant."
