Rapper Turk Sued for $12M Over Threats That Derailed Cash Money Reunion Tour

In a bitter legal dispute, former Hot Boys member Turk is being sued for $12 million by a concert promoter over online threats that allegedly threatened to derail a Cash Money Records reunion tour this summer.

The lawsuit, filed in New York federal court on October 29, 2025, claims Turk had been physically threatening fellow rapper B.G. on social media, leading venues to voice concerns about potential violence and risking disruptive intervention from B.G.'s probation officer. In response, the promoter alleges Turk began posting defamatory content on Instagram, spreading a false narrative that the promoter was struggling financially.

Turk had originally signed onto the "Cash Money Millionaires 30th Anniversary Tour" but was removed from the roster before his first performance this summer. The rapper subsequently sued the promoter, Dope Shows, for $340,000 in Florida last month, claiming he was removed because the promoter wasn't selling enough tickets and ran out of money to pay him.

However, the promoter is now countering that Turk's removal had nothing to do with finances. Rather, Dope Shows claims it had to boot Turk due to his threatening behavior towards B.G. The promoter is seeking $5 million for breach of contract and $7 million for defamation, alleging Turk's conduct has deterred fans from attending the reunion tour and led other artists to doubt the promoter's abilities.

Turk's attorney has denied all of the promoter's claims, calling the lawsuit a "desperate attempt" to "try and shift the blame away from their own unethical business practices and promotional failures." The rapper maintains he has no intentions of sabotaging a tour he wants to be a part of, and points to the recent release of his own album, "JOSEPH," which peaked at #5 on the iTunes Hip-Hop Chart in August 2025.
