Gunna’s touring company is suing concert promoters for $750,000 after they refused to pay him for his X Games performance.
Gunner took legal action against the concert organizers after performing at the X Games event in Aspen when he did not receive payment as required by his contract.
His touring company filed a lawsuit against Mickle and Mickle Productions, claiming the promoter hatched an elaborate scheme to book the rapper under false pretenses and then refused to pay him.
It’s clearly written in the contract. Gunna’s team agreed to perform and guaranteed $500,000 for the night of the performance in January.
If the money doesn’t arrive by the deadline, an additional $250,000 will be required. According to TMZ, Gunnar stuck to the deal and performed at the event, but the money never came.
What makes this situation particularly egregious is the series of excuses given by the promoters to the Guna camp.
First, they claim the funds are tied to the gold commodity. They then pivoted and said payments would come from partnerships with major alcohol brands.
When that plan failed, they somehow suggested that New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade would pay for it.
None of these explanations hold water, and Gunnar’s company now questions whether Mickle and Mickle Productions is a legitimate business entity.
The lawsuit seeks damages for breach of contract and fraud, plus additional damages for headaches and lost opportunities, totaling $750,000.
Gunna’s team viewed this as a serious issue because it fundamentally violated the binding agreement. X Games itself is not named as a defendant in the case, making it clear that event organizers are not the problem here.
