Rich the Kid now knows the importance of showing up to his court dates. After blowing off a hearing involving his former manager, a judge is now holding him accountable for a hefty bill.
Reports are claiming that a California judge granted Blueprint Artist Management, the former management company for Rich the Kid, a default judgment. In total the “No Loyalty” rapper has to cough up $960,614 in damages + $143,696.28 in interest + $873 in costs, for a grand total of $1,105,183.28.

Originally, Blueprint Artist Management sued Rich the Kid, whose real name is Dimitri Roger, for $3.5 million claiming that he owed them for their services. The firm noted that they signed him three years ago (May 2017) to a potentially lucrative deal that would have allowed them to reap 20% of his gross income. Their grievance is that the emcee has not paid them $960,000 in commission + an additional $500,000. According to the complaint, Blueprint “repeatedly demanded the payment of its long-overdue Commissions” but Rich refused to pay them according to their agreement.
