Key Takeaways

  • Tyga allegedly skipped two paid appearances at Beijing’s Club Pac Star in August and October 2023 and never rescheduled them for 2024.
  • Beijing Tongxing Wanxin Catering Management sued the rapper for fraud and breach of contract, seeking $135,000 plus punitive damages after receiving only a $10,000 refund from a $145,000 settlement.
  • The lawsuit follows previous disputes over unpaid luxury-car bills and a 2018 no-show claim involving three concerts in the UAE.

Tyga is facing a lawsuit over allegations that he bailed on a performance in Beijing, and the management company behind the suit is seeking the hefty sum of $135,000.

TMZ reports that the rapper, whose real name is Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson, has been sued for fraud and breach of contract by Beijing Tongxing Wanxin Catering Management, which claims that he didn’t appear at Club Pac Star twice after being paid to attend.

According to the lawsuit, the appearances were set for Aug. 4 and Oct. 27, 2023. The management company claims it was informed Tyga would reschedule a show in 2024 but that didn’t happen.

The company also claims it was refunded $10,000 as part of a settlement but never got the rest of the $145,000 that they’re owed. Now, it’s seeking to recover $135,000 and punitive damages.

Tyga has dealt with a few major lawsuits over the years. Most recently, in 2023, he was sued for $1.3 million for missed Lamborghini and Bentley payments by Choice Motors Credit.

That followed another lawsuit from Midway Rent a Car in 2019 for missed payments totaling $441,000 for two more luxury cars.

Tyga dealt with a performance-related lawsuit in 2018 when he was sued by concert promoter Heavy Rotation, which alleged Tyga didn’t show up after being paid $141,000 for three shows in the United Arab Emirates.

After Tyga pushed back, the two sides ultimately settled, and the case was dismissed the following year.
