Veteran So So Def rapper Da Brat has reportedly filed for bankruptcy after finding herself a staggering $7.7 million in debt.
News of the bankruptcy and millions owed comes from court documents recently obtained by The Blast.
The bulk of Da Brat’s debt stems from the $6.4 million she owes to former NFL cheerleader Shayla Stevens, the woman the 44-year-old MC struck with a bottle in an Atlanta nightclub back in 2007.
As a result of the assault, which resulted in permanent facial scarring and neurological impairment for Stevens, Da Brat spent three years in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated assault.
Other debts include $1,255,128 owed to Sony Music, $12,000 to Ally Bank, $2,284 in credit card debt, and $2,284 owed to the Georgia Department of Revenue. There’s also an unknown amount owed to the IRS.
Da Brat’s assets, which include three vehicles (a 1999 Mercedes 238i worth $5,000, a 2014 BMW 328i worth $15,000, and a 2016 Jeep Wrangler worth $23,000), various electronics and other items totaling $108,700.
The Illinois-born lyricist currently serves as co-host on Dish Nation, a nightly television program featuring various radio personalities. Her last studio album, Limelite, Luv & Niteclubz was released in 2003. In 1994, she became the first female rapper to go Platinum with the release of her debut album, Funkadfied.

Damn, smackin that chic with a bottle ruined her life
Man, after this Da Brat is sooooooo sooooooo soooooooo Fuckedified.
Moral of the story kids, those cars don’t appreciate value. A 20 year old Benz is worth $5000, lol. Do something else with your money.
Old M.A. She a real one tho.
Lets this b a lesson. A. The award but B. That file to GARNISH. That means any income she was getting started getting picked to pieces like a dead beat dad finally having to pay for his 4 kids lol. Knock on wood it’s a fucking shame that this will be a cloud over head probably for the rest of her life. She’ll never be able to legally bring that kind of money in again and ANY legal income she makes is getting deducted OFF TOP. A shame but she did it to herself. 1st her freedom was taken and now her peace of mind and finacial flexibility is impaired for probably the rest of her life.
She should auction off her catalog….If she owns it. Dream partially did this and got over 20 Million. She wasn’t the biggest artist, but she has two platinum records and one gold. I think she could make enough to cover her debt.
aint nobody want that shit
Sad. Da Brat is very talented rapper.
She’s not broke. She doesn’t want to pay the lady so she puts everything in a trust and files bankruptcy. 50 cent did it, O.J. Simpson, Donald Trump. Rich people don’t pay! They file bankruptcy!
bitch went from in the 90s da brat to now da broke, she better call and beg and suck on some Mariah Carey’s pum pum and lick that cake for some help…. Mariah Carey could do or be on some deals and clear that off for her in no time but damn….. why you struck that bitch with the bottle? you now a broke bitch with karma.
that Remy MA and her sister, black women problems and angered shit LMAO
I wondered if she actually enjoyed her time in prison, I mean she was probably the #1 in line for big bertha to eat that pum pum and treated real nice
she lookin damn pretty on that pic
Da Brat has never made 7.7 million so if 2 or 3 hundred thousand was offered the victim should have taken it, by filing bankruptcy this will protect her earning for right now , Wendy knows that lunch money is what Brat is earning , Jermaine Dupree would never drop that kind of money on her theres no way to get his money back, her time in rap is over just keep filing bankruptcy or settle this case some how
