A landlord has urged rapper Tyga to pay USD 124,000 in back rent.
The landlord even warned the 25-year-old rapper that he will send him to jail if he doesn't pay the unpaid rent immediately, reported TMZ.
Tyga rented a house in Calabasas, California back in 2010 but he stopped making payments. The landlord then set a judgement for USD 90,000 in back rent. However, the rapper never paid the judgement.
After five years of waiting, the landlord now is considering legal action to force Tyga back in court. Last month when Tyga was having a sneakers-signing event at Hollywood, the landlord handed him a legal paper.
The paper was actually a summon for the rapper to appear at a hearing over back rent.
Tyga didn't appear at the hearing, pissing off the landlord. Tyga's attorney later attempted to reconcile with the landlord by offering to pay his lawyer bill for the hearing. However, the guy refused the bid.
To make matters worse, five days before the hearing Tyga posted a snap of him sitting next to stacks of cash via Instagram. Now, the landlord demands Tyga to pay the full judgement plus the interest which has swelled to USD 124,000.
The man also threatened to send Tyga to prison if the rapper doesn't immediately pay the required sum of money.
