Trina has been sued for $50 million in damages over allegedly pulling out of an agreement to appear as a judge during an event called “America’s Next Top Rapper.”
According to Courthouse News Service, Omnipresent Media and Lawrence “Amar” Wright filed suit against the Miami rapstress, her managing agent Rarebreed Entertainment, its principal Josh Burke, the State of Florida and J Ego Entertainment and Nunoise Travel.
The suit claims that Trina agreed to judge the online streaming video platform and competition where aspiring rappers compete to win $20,000, a Universal distribution deal and a “hit production team,” among other rewards.
Omnipresent, which throws the competition, said that Trina agreed to judge and then backed out of the show, which was to be held on December 30, 2011. The problem began when Trina and management allegedly failed to send promotional videos for organizers to promote the event. Omnipresent says that its promotions “generated significant traffic on the blogs of major entertainment networks, including BET and MTV.”
Trina and management then asked for more money and that the taping would not be publicly broadcasted. Her travel agent then said that she would not appear to judge unless the company paid her travel expenses. Omnipresent says it agreed, but she still didn’t provide the promo videos. Because of her absence, Omnipresent says that some attendees became “unruly” and “heckled competition participants.”
She doesn’t have anywhere near $50 Million
I doubt she even has 1 mill. Trina was never really hot…I dont even get why people still talk about her.
according to Celebnetworth.com she is worth 10 mill…
still not 50 LOL…
Not good news… Trina hasn’t got $50m…
Only rappers with more than $10m (more than likely) are Jay-Z, Drake, Kanye, Wayne, 50, Dre, Shady, Ross, TI, Nicki and some of the Wu?
Possibly Kendrick…
youre an idiot
probably not kendrick
i could name like 50 others who probably have way more than 10 mil
Most rappers have more then 10 mill…. You are brainwashed by whats hot at the moment.
Most rappers don’t have 10 mil…you’re brainwashed by what’s hot at the moment.
You kids have no concept of the value of a dollar. Prob work at Target and think you’ll be a millionare one day
This just in… Kendrick does not have 10 million. Not yet.
MOST RAPPERS WILL NEVA SNIFF 10M CAREER WISE
U CAN HAVE A PLATINUM ALBUM AND SHOWS AND NOT MAKE 150K ‘CAUSE OF A FCUKED UP 360 WITH A LOW ROYALTY % & A BIG BUDGET THAT INCLUDES THE ADVANCE THEY GAVE U & MUSIC WITH LITTLE REPLAY VALUE
& N!GGAS BARELY SEEING GOLD NOW ON THE INTERNET WISHING FOR HITS BUT THEY 10M UP THESE DAYS?
LMAO
THEY HAVE NO CONCEPT OF A DOLLAR OR BUSINESS
DROP DEM OTHER 50 NAMES
U ALREADY TOOK 2 LONG
snoop, ludacris, common, kanye, timbaland, pharrell, game, andre 3000 / big boi, Mos Def, busta rhymes, fat joe……………..and so on, there are a lot out there, not to say that they have in their reach 10 mill in cash flow, but most certainly have made that much profits. A misconception however would be thinking that new age rappers are rich because of there popularity. Hype is cheap these days with the internet, and internet/hype in most cases doesn’t sell records or sell out shows on the kind of scale required. Kendrick could be one to make money in his career.
Someone would’ve paid Trina to appear in public? I wouldn’t have recognised her if she walked by me in the street.
Well Buck in jail so homie can’t save her…….and I’m not sure how close her and Wayne still are, but I know Dwayne’s money is up there…….lol
i heard she trickin french montana now
The question is not whether she has it or not, no one does, especially not to give away in a lawsuit. I am sure even Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, 50 or Diddy would have a heart attack if they lost a 50 million dollar lawsuit. The complainant did not even begin to lose that amount when she backed out, so why would you sue for that much. Your suit now begins to look frivolous and you won’t be taken seriously. As to her net worth, we don’t know and she WAS always b if not c rated so we don’t expect her to have that much. But I remember watching a MTV Cribs episode that featured her and I was shocked. Fat crib, a Bentley and I really wanted to know how Trina was living like that. She might not be worth more than a couple mill, but she might be a closet smartie and not the bimbo we expect, and know how to manage her money. She also seems to know how to hook up with rappers of the moment and I am sure she gets them to spend on her. She can always sell those jewelry later if things go bad.
50 would have a heart attack… He doesnt have as much as people think he has.
Yepp, tts just a typical american “we-hit-you-with-enormous-digits” lawsuit, what is the worst that could came out for them? (Aside from losing, of course.) Getting probably a realistic compensation, which is still a favourable? No way they have 50 million for that case. And as far as Trina, well, sooner or later majority of these so called artists run out of money. You can’t maintain such wealth without significant income, thus only a small percentage can keep up that lifestyle. Probably the biggest moral of the story is that money from music is not other than basic capital for further investments. Don’t know anything about Trina in that regard, but I hope she was farseeing with her financies, because I’m pretty sure she won’t get a second chance.

^ bet that was all Kenyon Martin’s……..
Surely a better point is, a public appearance by, at best, a C-list rapper (in terms of public profile) can’t have lost $50m (it probably lost less than a 40th of that figure), so regardless of whether she has the money, how reasonable is the person making the suit given the circumstances…
It’s a symbolic number that pushes it to the top of the caseload, if they would have sued for her advance and lost advertising time costs because of no tapes equaling $100k-$250k it would take years. Old and effective tactic.
“Most rappers have more then 10 mill”
Most of the old guys do.
Trina has no where near this amount of money, if i was a betting man i would say she has probably less than 2 million liquid dollars in her reach.
Now before somebody says her net income, must know that those “net” numbers seen online or in financial magazines includes assets and anything that is of considered worth.
So you can say someone is worth 30 million dollars. Doesn’t mean that they have access to that money. It just means if they sell all of their asset that is a approximation of what they will get.
The intent is not to actually sue for 50 mil. They’re just trying to ruin her by wiping her clean of everything she’s worth.
Damn does trina even have 50 Mill?
if i was them i would just ask her to let me ask fuck her and she could keep the 50 million
50mill for not doing an online streaming event…. Give me a break
This sue happy country should have some sort of laws set in place that when you try to milk someone out of an outrageous number like this, if you lose the case you have to paid said person the same amount.
Lawsuits are too easy to create against someone.
It was a glorified fucking podcast!
If she loses the lawsuit… I’ll be the happiest person that ever lived.
