Now Shayla is trying to keep Da Brat from being able to discharge the debt in her recent bankruptcy filing...
From The Blast
On January 18, Shayla Stevens sued Da Brat as part of the rapper’s ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. The former cheerleader — who won a $6.4 million judgment (which has grown with interest to $8 million) stemming from a nightclub assault several years ago — wants the money she is owed to not be discharged in the bankruptcy.
Stevens claims that Da Brat also failed to explain what happened to the money she earned through her participation in the “Set it Off” tour and her continuing dealings with Jermaine Dupri, including her participation in the So So Def 25th Anniversary Concert that went down in October 2018.
The lawsuit is demanding Da Brat not be granted a discharge in her bankruptcy and the $8 million debt to stand.
Back in August, the rapper filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with assets totaling $108,700.65 and liabilities totaling $7,782,249.57Brat served 3 years in prison for assault [click here if you missed that].
