'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Lil Scrappy in $110,00 Debt, Forced To Garnish Paychecks [VIDEO]
Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Lil Scrappy was forced to have his paychecks garnished to help pay off his almost $110,000 debt.
TMZ reported that the Money in the Bank rapper lost a legal battle in a George Court in 2010, which resulted him to pay $72,218.68 to concert-booking company Heavy Rotation. The company filed a lawsuit that claimed he owes them the amount due to their services for him. Reports stated that Scrappy never paid them any money, despite getting paid for his role on Love & Hip Hop.
The debt has now increased to $108,510.38, which includes interest and attorney's fees. Heavy Rotation requested to have Scrappy's Love & Hip Hop salary go directly to them first until the debt is satisfied. The court signed off on the request.
Fans will get to watch Scrappy's love triangle with fiancee Erica Dixon and friend Shay Buckey Johnson on season 2 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, which debuts on April 22.
Sources close to the show and new season said that the two LHHA stars had an argument that led to a physical altercation. "They ran towards each other and started fighting. (Johnson) was winning then Erica pulled something out and hit (Johnson) in the face," a source said, according to Media TakeOut.
The source added that Dixon hit Johnson with an object, possibly a razor blade. Johnson was rushed to the hospital because she bled uncontrollably. The onlooker compared the fight to a scene in a "horror movie."
Scrappy's mother Mama Dee, who seemed to be in a feud with Dixon in the show's first season, said she is ready for the new season and fans will be surprised.
"There has been a shaking up in the palace," Momma Dee told Sister 2 Sister magazine. "I can't wait for the world to see the next season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. What you think it's gonna be, it ain't gonna be. Second season is going to make the first season look stupid."
When asked how LHHA compared to the New York show, Mama Dee said, "The South is just different."
