“Love & Hip Hop” Star Embroiled In Dispute Over Back Rent

An L.A. area landlord has accused reality star Masika Kalysha of being a rent dodger.

That’s according to a new lawsuit from Emerson Vierra Reis, who is suing the “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star for skipping out on four month’s worth of rent payments on a three bedroom, two bath house in Woodland Hills, CA.

According to the suit, Instagram star Masika – who shares a two-year-old with rapper Fetty Wap – signed a lease to rent the place back in December 2017. But last September, she stopped paying the rent entirely and eventually moved out after Christmas without settling the rent debt, the suit, which was obtained by BOSSIP, said.

In total, Reis said Masika’s back rent topped out at $14,740.

Reis withheld Masika’s $4,750 security deposit but is suing for the balance, $9,999. Reis said Masika also allegedly trashed the place, and he said he had to spend an additional $3,285 to fix the damages, according to court papers.

The landlord said he tried to reason with Masika before filing the suit, but she still refused to pay up.

The property in question is nearly 2,000 square feet and boasts marble countertops, stainless steel appliances and his and hers sinks. Masika moved out after Christmas and the home later sold for almost $800,000, according to public records. Masika has posted glamorous pictures of herself on social media in the home.

Masika never responded to the suit, and the case is scheduled to go to trial next week.

We reached out to both Masika and the landlord for comment.
