Hot Boy Turk has been sued for $12 million for allegedly sabotaging Cash Money’s 30th anniversary tour.
Legal documents obtained by Complex reveal that touring agency Dope Shows, Inc. sued the rapper and his YNT Empire company, claiming that he breached his contract and sabotaged the tour with the lawsuit he previously filed after allegedly being booted from the trek for refusing to accept a pay cut.
Dope Shows, Inc.’s lawsuit also alleges that he leaked confidential financial information and lied about the company not being able to pay artists.
"Desperate to revive his flagging rap career, Turk is attempting to sabotage the Tour through childish and petulant antics that he hopes will regain the public’s attention," wrote Dope Shows, Inc.’s lawyer Jeffrey M. Movit in the lawsuit.
"Turk’s publicity stunts are an abject failure, as they have done nothing to advance his career. Rather, through his malicious and misguided actions, Turk has created nothing more than massive legal liability for himself in this lawsuit,” Movit added.
The company claims that the reason for Turk’s dispute was because of his ongoing beef with fellow Hot Boys member B.G., which was a security risk and concerned the latter’s probation officer.
Because of Turk’s alleged false statements about their financial status, Dope Shows, Inc. seeks $7 million in damages for defamation, $5 million in damages for breach of contract, and to have their legal fees covered.
Back in July, Turk was cut from the lineup of Cash Money’s tour just a few days before the release of his new album, Joseph. The rapper, who's had issues with Cash Money for years, shared a statement about the situation on Instagram, alleging that he was falsely branded a security risk because he didn’t want to be paid a reduced amount of compensation.
“The same day I rejected less than what was owed, I got hit with a bogus termination notice,” he wrote. “Instead of admitting they couldn’t pay fairly, they labeled me a threat.”
Turk filed a lawsuit against Dope Shows, Inc. and Artists Agency LLC soon after, accusing them of breach of contract.
At the end of the Cash Money and No Limit Verzuz as ComplexCon 2025, Birdman called out Turk by saying, “Shout out to Turk, you little bitch. You ain’t here but fuck you. We gonna fuck with you when we want to fuck with you. Cash Money ain’t never gonna die as long as I’m alive.”
Turk responded to the comment later on livestream.
“You can’t fuck with me when you want to fuck with me,” he said. “Cash Money gotta understand it’s not about them. It’s about the fans.”
