Rich the Kid’s personal life has once again entered the courtroom, as a Massachusetts woman named Jane Doe won a $45,844 judgment against the rapper after her secret relationship with him resulted in a pregnancy, a hush-money deal and a settlement that fell apart.
Doe said she met Rich the Kid in January 2023 while he was performing at the ICON nightclub in Boston. After the event, he allegedly invited her to a private hotel party, where a physical altercation occurred.
Doe claimed Richie attacked her, grabbed her coat to stop her from leaving, and later followed her home without permission, where they had sex again.
Doe said she became pregnant as a result of these encounters. She claims the rapper, who is engaged to social media personality and DJ Tori Brixx, begged her to keep it a secret.
The two eventually agreed to terminate the pregnancy and signed a confidential settlement agreement in March 2023 requiring Rich the Kid to pay her $15,000 and refrain from discussing the matter publicly.
The agreement also includes stiff penalties – $20,000 for missed payments and $20,000 for publicly defaming the Department of Energy. But within days, Doe said he violated both terms.
He made partial payments totaling $9,500, leaving a shortfall of $5,500, and shortly afterward addressed the allegations in an interview and claimed the woman was demanding “$150,000” in “hush money.”
Doe claimed the interview violated confidentiality and reputation clauses in the settlement agreement, leading her to file a breach of contract lawsuit.
She is seeking $45,500 in damages, including an unpaid settlement and penalties related to his public comments.
Rich the Kid never responded to the lawsuit. On January 25, 2024, he was entered into a default judgment for $45,840 plus interest.
Now, Doe is stepping up her collection efforts and asking the court to enforce the judgment so she can collect from the rapper’s music royalties and bank accounts held in New York through Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group.
The judgment remains unpaid and interest continues to accrue at 9% per year.
