Yo Gotti Hit With A $6.6 Million Default Judgement

We reported yesterday that Yo Gotti won in a suit against an auto body shop that took part in the damage done to his Lamborghini–but the $66,000 he won in that case is NOTHING compared to what he owes in this new one.

Three years ago, Gotti allegedly accepted fee to make a guest appearance on a song that he never ended up releasing, and now, he’s facing some serious legal repercussions.

According to reports from TMZ, a North Carolina judge just hit the rapper with a $6.6 million default judgment after an artist allegedly paid $20K for a Yo Gotti collaboration that was either never released or was never recorded in the first place. TMZ claims that the Memphis rapper completely blew off the recording session with the artist named Young Fletcher, but also say he was suing in part because Gotti never released the song–which suggests that the song was actually made, just never put out.

Other allegations surrounding this situation include Gotti reportedly going and recording a song similar to the one he was making with Young Fletcher, before later going behind his manager’s back and trying sign him to a $150,000 deal with his own record label.

Yo Gotti was reportedly served court papers regarding this case while performing onstage last year, but apparently, he never responded. During a recent hearing, the judge is said to have granted a $2.2 million judgment, which he then tripled, because the judge found “willful, unfair and deceptive acts” conducted by the Memphis rapper.

Fletcher’s manager told TMZ that they are planning to go after Gotti’s Bel-Air mansion, cars and other luxury items in order to collect the money they’re owed.
