Production Company Says Rapper Lil Uzi Owes Them Over $500,000

LOS ANGELES – A production company claims rapper Lil Uzi owes them over $500,000 over his “failure and refusal to live festival and tour performances.”

The lawsuit was filed by M99 Studios, LLC. based in Los Angeles.

Lil Uzi Vert “regularly failed to maintain functioning credit cards or sufficient funds in (Wood)’s travel account to book necessary for crew, forcing M99 to front all travel costs for Artist’s tours and performances,” according to the suit, WSB Atlanta reports.

“His credit card would frequently be declined while on tour, making it impossible for M99 to ensure the safety and well-being of the crew without covering the expenses itself, the suit continued.

M99 then went on to say that the Uzi owes them “no less than $533,499.81 plus statutory interest.”

M99 said that after the tour, they stopped working with Uzi and “decided not to bill for the Australian services in hopes of parting ways amicably and assisting Uzivert and/or Artist with paying M99’s invoices related to the Performances. As a courtesy, M99 also did not invoice Uzivert and/or Artist for a canceled show in Phoenix and NBA 2k event that M99 provided services for,” according to the outlet.

Lil Uzi Vert has been working with the company since 2017.

No comment from the rapper on the suit.
