Tyga is being accused of hiding profits that he made from his Last Kings clothing brand. This summer, it was reported that Tyga owned his former business partner, Chuon Guen Lee, of his Last Kings Brand, $2 million dollars after a lawsuit she won against him. Lee sued the rapper after he left their brand to start a new clothing brand, Egypt Kings, with a new business associate. Lee states that she haven’t been able to reach the rapper and that he is allegedly hiding the money that he owes her.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Lee claims that Tyga is hiding the money he owes her in shell companies. She feels that he is allegedly starting up new companies in order to hide the profits that he made from Last Kings. Tyga is reported to make as much as $450 thousand a month from the clothing line. The former business associate is suing the rapper to get a full accounting of Tyga’s revenue from all of his current companies. Tyga has had a lot of legal issues in the recent months, including with former management company. C&J Management and Tyga reached a settlement, agreeing that Tyga would only pay $1.5 million, instead of the $4 million they were originally seeking. The lawsuit claims that Tyga fired his manager with no cause and stiffed the company out of millions.
However, the rapper has been keeping busy after his public breakup with Kylie Jenner, who is rumored to be pregnant by rapper Travis Scott. In July, he released a mixtape B*tch I’m The Shit 2, and in September he teased a possible “singing album,” after releasing his single “Boss Up.” Tyga is certainly not letting the crushing blows of these lawsuits stop his grind or his paper.
