Rapper Tyga facing fine for missing court appearance

Rapper Tyga is reportedly facing a $10,000 fine for missing a court hearing relating to a legal fight over his clothing line.

The hip-hop star is battling a former business partner who sued the rapper last year (14) for allegedly failing to pay him for creating designs for his Last Kings fashion brand.

He had been due to attend a court-ordered settlement conference with Glennon Marrero in a bid to thrash out a deal, but Marrero has lodged legal documents claiming Tyga, real name Michael Nguyen-Stevenson, failed to appear and suggests he should be slapped with a fine of around $10,000, according to Allhiphop.com.
