Mos Def Being Sued by His Own Attorney

Posted by Bossip Staff

Mos Def’s attorney that represented him in a expensive divorce in 2006 claim they have yet to be paid for the work done:

Rapper/actor Mos Def has been landed with a $60,000 lawsuit from his own attorney, after failing to pay for an expensive divorce from his ex-wife. Bosses at legal firm Blank Rome claim the star – real name Dante Smith – owes them the sum in unpaid fees and retainers, after they helped untangle him from his marriage to Maria Yepes in 2006. A representative for the star failed to respond to requests for comment. It’s not the only legal mess Mos Def is in right now – he is facing charges of felony robbery and malicious destruction of private property after fashion photographer Volker Corell claimed the rap star ripped a camera from his neck, smashed it to the ground and then took off with it during a confrontation in Las Vegas in August.

Even though Mos has that lil’ felony charge out in Vegas, we are still giving the conscious brother a chance to explain himself. In the meantime, why do Bossipers think he hasn’t broken his attorney off with the ends he owes him?

    I cant trust Bossip anymore! Your words are almost meaningless. Your right hand doesnt EVER know what the left hand is doing.

  7. BKLYNZ OWN(another day another dollar)

    THATS FUNNY

  8. Mock Rock Star

    Def U’re still my guy although I haven’t bought your album since the first one, but I dug your character and even seen U in Topdog/Underdog and last night in Cadillac Records and didn’t even know U were married and divorce…which brings me to this points…why when men portray themselves ***** players and having all this access to woman they can’t ever seem to stay married…except LL Cool J (hopefully for ever, but for now)

  9. This I Know

    I love Mos Def, but he seriously needs to get his finances – and his women – in check.

  10. Oshie - Creole Baby was right, that Pop Champagne video is so gay.

    I love Mos. I would marry him… he does seem like he would be a little difficult though.

  11. Crazy ***** Rodney

  15. His E-Minence

    Oh and as to the point, there’s too little info to make a call here, but i can tell you disputes between clients and there lawyers over fees are common place. People often disagree over what is owed and what work was done, particularly in a emotionally involved proceeding such as divorce, where one party is not pleased with the outcome. But of course, y’all Bossipers knew that already.
