Lil Scrappy facing lawsuit over unpaid rent

Rapper Lil Scrappy is facing a lawsuit from his landlord over missed rent payments on his Atlanta, Georgia home.

Randy Williams of the Williams Property Group alleges the hip-hop star owes $4,000 (GBP2,500) in back rent, late fees, utility bills and court costs and has threatened to evict him if he fails to pay.

The rapper, real name Darryl Richardson, has yet to respond to the lawsuit, but this isn't the first time he has faced legal action from bosses at the company - in January (15), he was sued over unpaid rent, but the case was later dropped, according to Bossip.com.

He also lost a home to foreclosure in 2010.
