Lil Yachty Sued By Celebrity Jeweler Gunven’s Fine Jewelry Claiming The Rapper’s Check Bounced
Sources say he reneged on paying more than $200,000.



Lil Yachty’s love for expensive bling cannot be ignored. Whether he’s purchasing new diamond pieces to add to his already massive collection or gifting them to close friends in the music industry, the 22-year-old rapper is known for dropping some big checks on jewelers.

While we’ve never heard of Yachty experiencing any financial issues, reportedly a celebrity jeweler is suing the rapper for breach of contract after allegedly receiving a bounced check for $70K.

According to Bossip, they’ve obtained court papers that claim the rapper reneged on paying Gunven’s Fine Jewelry over $200,000 in luxury jewels.

The news source reports, “Gunven’s said it had been doing business with the flame-haired artist since 2017, sending him jewels that he would later pay for if he decided to keep, including a $175,000 white gold diamond ring, a rose gold Patek Philippe watch that’s worth $195,000, a white gold Rolex for $95,000, and a white gold diamond tennis bracelet for $200,000.”

The report continued, “The suit says Lil Yachty paid off more than half of the more than $600,000 balance for more than 20 pieces, but the jewelers said he still owes $233,000 – and the last check he wrote them for $70,000 bounced.”

While the news has yet to be confirmed by the “Get Dripped” rapper, according to the alleged court documents, the plaintiff has text messages from the Atlanta rapper admitting he owes the money but doesn’t have the means to pay right away.

Bossip shared these quotes from the alleged conversation:

“..Bro if I had it I would give it to you,” Lil Yachty allegedly wrote in text message submitted as evidence. “I’m not gone hold u (sic) out if I had it just to give. I have had many bills to pay. Taxes, debt, etc…All that money went instantly. The teeth I just got I traded jewelry for.”

The jeweler reportedly is not only suing for the money owed, but also for punitive damages and lawyer’s fees.

According to the news report, “Lil Yachty had not responded to the lawsuit as of Oct. 28

A nigga who knows his card would get declined on the spot! :roflmao:

:lol2::lol2::lol2:

My point exactly......shittttt, the jewelry store should have seen that coming...

That shit is on them because they have credit card machines that you can run a check through and immediately hits the account for approval or not, if approved the check gets stamped on the back and you give it back to the client as their receipt.....

I don't believe those machines can check a balance. They just read the numbers on the bottom of the check and can confirm that there is an acct. Or just logs the check and amount.

If you swipe the check through them it will decline it, if there isn't money in the account to cover the amount.

Didn't know they did that. Then he must of had the money at the time of purchase, then later not? Idk
 

If he thought he was overcharged and didn't want to pay for the piece, why didn't he just return the muhfucka?
I know it's a custom order and might not be sold to the next person looking for a piece but he could've avoided SOME of this shit. :dunno:

Not only do they check the balance, they automatically debit the money. The check then runs through the machine and prints the banking information on the back and the check is returned to the customer as their receipt. The vendor doesn't even keep the check anymore when using such a device.

Ahh OK, didn't know stuff like that existed. But from the article, think he mailed them a check for $70k.

Dude buying $600k of jewelry is beyond dumb.
I don't understand some in this industry who say being a rapper is an expensive upkeep.

Why do you have to buy this name brand or that watch? Cause then you ain't "fly"?
Absurd. I don't care how much money I have.

Seen people hit lotto and not spend half a million on jewelry.
