Tyga may want to focus on music, touring and doing shows — instead of keeping up with a certain Kardashian?
According to the Jasmine Brand — the Cali Rapper is having some financial difficulties — reportedly filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy years ago.
Tyga (real name Michael Stevenson) was drowning in massive debt, saying that he only had less than 50k to his name and couldn’t afford to pay the debt he owed to creditors.
On December 13th 2010, Tyga – who is now rumored to be dating Kylie Jenner – filed for bankruptcy stating he had estimated assets in the range of $0-$50k and liabilities (debt owed to creditors) in the $100k-$500k range.
The rapper said his only creditor was a landlord who won a judgement against him for possession of the home he was staying in.
Based on records in Los Angeles County Court, the landlord sued Tyga for possession the home he was renting in Tarzana. The landlord eventually won a default judgement of $88,469 due to Tyga never showing up to court.
According to reports — the state of California is going after Tyga for back taxes — with the rapper owing more than $19,000 in unpaid taxes for 2009, 2010 and 2011.
