Swizz Beatz Sued for $16M in Alleged Luxury Car Scam

Swizz Beatz hit with the another suit.
Swizz Beatz will be back in court soon after recently being hit with a lawsuit to the tune of $16 million after claims of being involved in fraud involving luxury cars. According to the New York Post, Swizz, born Kasseem Dean, was hit with the lawsuit in Nassau Supreme Court with claims that he “resold or fraudulently used” luxury vehicles.

It was last year that he was initially hit with a first lawsuit from Long Island’s Metro Gem Leasing with the plaintiff’s lawyers claiming that Dean and his wife Alicia Keys’ company, AK Worldwide defaulted on car leases and continued to ride the vehicles and refused to return them. He was initially being sued for $42 million. The suit was eventually thrown out in Swizz’s favor in June of this year after a judge deemed that Metro Gem could not provide any facts to support their claims against Swizz and his partner Macky Dancy. However, now claims have once more arisen saying that Swizz resold leased vehicles that included the likes of a $155,000 Range Rover and a $600,000 Ferrari F12.

According to Swizz Beatz’s lawyer Matthew West, the new claims are “nothing more than a desperate attempt to shake down a public figure,” while AK Worldwide lawyer John Rosenberg doubled down on the statement, brushing off the lawsuit as a “frivolous attempt to resurrect baseless claims.”

Kung Fu Kenny himself previously noted his interest in working with the famed producer this summer. It may be a long shot, but here’s to wishful thinking that this pairing could be one of the unexpected collaborations. In the meantime, let’s hope Swizz’s legal battles won’t keep him away from the studio for too long.

DJ KHALID SON WEARS A $2000 SUIT TO MTV MVA

 DJ Khaled's got his son rocking the best in fashion. DJ Khaled has never been shy about expressing how special the bond between him and his son Asahd have, whether its in public or over social media. For example, the Grateful producer brought his son on stage with him at the Billboard Hot 100 music festival earlier this month, with the crowd cheering him on as family photos played in a montage behind the toddler. In addition to that, Khaled also said that he bit the bullet and flew for the first time in a decade, all because of his son. Now, he's helping his son look beyond fresh as both he and Asahd took to the red carpet prior to the MTV Video Music Awards. According to E! Online, the 10-month-old was clad in a Gucci suit that was embroidered with images of cartoon monsters. Adorable, sure. Expensive, hell yes. The ensemble would set you back roughly $2,000 if you're looking to purchase it for your little one. It includes the $820 jacket, a $260 button-down shir...

Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee Countersuing In Water Bottle Lawsuit TMZ reports that Swae Lee is fighting back. The latest incident of a lawsuit stemming from a serious concert injury hit hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd last week, after a man in Michigan filed documentation against the rappers that alleges his face was horribly disfigured after he was struck by an errant water bottle that was forcefully thrown off the stage by one of the performers. As per our previous report, the show during which the injury took place went down in October of 2016, where neither emcee supposedly gave any warning of turning their water bottles into projectiles that were to be launched into the crowd. The man's legal representatives are claiming that part of his face was "ripped off" from the sheer force of the object that was thrown, leading to the suit for assault, negligence and battery, as well as sticking Rae Sremmurd for the cash for his medical bills. Now, Swae Lee has answered the bell...
