Judge Issues A Bench Warrant For Tyga’s Arrest After He Fails To Show Up To Court Over Unpaid $236k Judgement

After refusing to pay off yet another debt, Tyga is reportedly a wanted man.

According to TMZ, the rapper was due in court to discuss the details of one of the many lawsuits filed against him over money-this time a $236,000 judgment.

The lawsuit, which was filed in 2015, stems from an incident that occurred at Tyga’s show in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Shyanne Riekena sued the rapper’s company after a light stand fell and cracked her head open during the concert.

One year later, a judge awarded Riekena $235k in the judgment against Tyga’s music company. However, in true Tyga fashion, the rapper refused to cough up the cash. By April, Riekena’s legal team launched their third effort to collect the payment, which had since ballooned to $248,553 from interest.
