Tyga Hit With $135,000 Lawsuit

The rapper is facing fraud and breach-of-contract allegations after a Beijing-based company claims it paid for performances that never happened.

Tyga has found himself at the center of another legal controversy, this time involving a business agreement overseas that reportedly fell apart more than three years ago.

According to a report published by TMZ on October 27, Beijing Tongxing Wanxin Catering Management has taken legal action against the California rapper, accusing him of failing to honor a paid performance agreement. The company is now demanding $135,000 in outstanding funds, along with additional damages.

The disagreement reportedly began in 2023, when Tyga was expected to appear at Club Pac Star in Beijing. Organizers claim the artist failed to show up for two separate bookings, one scheduled for August 4 and another for October 27.

Rather than immediately pursuing legal action, the company allegedly attempted to arrange another performance. Representatives say they were informed that Tyga would fulfill his obligations sometime during the first half of 2024. However, the proposed replacement appearance never took place, according to the complaint.

Organizers Say Most Of Their Money Was Never Returned

The financial dispute has since become the central issue in the lawsuit.

The Chinese management company maintains that it was entitled to recover $145,000 following the canceled appearances. Although a previous settlement reportedly resulted in a $10,000 refund, organizers claim they have been unable to collect the remaining $135,000.

The lawsuit includes allegations of fraud and breach of contract, with the company seeking repayment, interest, and punitive damages.

This is not the first time Tyga has encountered legal complications involving international concert bookings.

In 2018, promoter Heavy Rotation pursued a separate lawsuit against the rapper concerning planned appearances in the United Arab Emirates. The company sought approximately $1.4 million, alleging that Tyga backed out of an agreement after receiving a more attractive opportunity elsewhere.

Tyga disputed those accusations, and the two sides eventually reached a settlement in 2019. The specific financial terms of that resolution were not publicly disclosed.

As for the latest Beijing dispute, Tyga and his representatives had not provided a public response in the reports available at publication.

The allegations remain unproven, and it is unclear how the new legal proceedings will ultimately unfold.
