BOSSIP Exclusive: Akon’s Mom Ordered To Pay $165K For Stiffing Contractor!!

- By Bossip Staff

Kine initially agreed to pay the electric company $237,650 to wire her palatial spread in suburban Atlanta back in 2011, but didn’t pay, so the company stopped work in the middle of the project. Kine eventually paid some of the money back, which must’ve persuaded the company not to sue her earlier.

Two years later, Kine once again agreed to pay $125,000 for the remaining electrical work, but when Southern Electric sent an invoice for $95,000, Kine straight up refused to pay. The company then sued the mom and slapped a lien on the property, which is now going into foreclosure.

Kine countersued the electric company, and later testified at an arbitration hearing back in October that she didn’t owe the company a dime. But the arbitrator thought differently, and hit her with the judgment.

“Refusing to pay any amount for work performed demonstrates Kine’s bad faith,” the Dec. 1 judgment reads. “Causing this dispute to be protracted for more than two years has caused (the company) unnecessary trouble and expense.”
