Da Brat’s Million Dollar Club Brawl
Another nightclub, another assault charge; former rapper Da Brat just can’t stop living up to her name.
The troubled artist’s 2009 assault case has caught up to her with a vengeance: Da Brat now owes ex-cheerleader Shayla Stevens an additional $1 million dollars for assaulting her ten years ago, on top of the original $6.4 million dollar amount.
The incident itself took place in an Atlanta nightclub in 2007, where Stevens took a rum bottle to the face– courtesy of Da Brat. As a result, the ex-cheerleader was hospitalized for “permanent scarring, neurological damage, and other anguish.” Once she was released, Stevens filed a lawsuit for felony aggravated assault, to which the troubled artist pleaded guilty.
When the gavel came down, Da Brat, whose real name is Shawntae Harris, was sentenced to three years in prison, and a multimillion dollar fine.
However, Harris is no stranger to the courtroom, and has quite the colorful past with the law.
According to MTV, she faced similar charges in 2000 for beating another woman with a gun in a Buckhead nightclub. The aforementioned victim also suffered head injuries, with six stitches to show for it. Harris got a slap on the wrist for her first offense, and was able to avoid trial for that case. Instead, she completed 80 hours of community service, served probation for a year, and paid a $1,000 fine.
While Harris was no stranger to altercations, nor was she a stranger to altercations with Stevens herself. Per police reports, it was alleged that the 2007 club brawl was not their first.
Whatever the beef was between the two, it’s safe to say that it wasn’t worth the hefty price tag it’s cost Da Brat.
The retired rapper’s last bonafied chart topping single was a decade ago, so it’s no wonder she’s struggling to make the million dollar payments. The case was filed in 2009, but eight years later Da Brat has yet to make good on her fine. To expedite the process, Stevens has also filed in California, in order to gain access to Harris’ assets.
Even after a three-year stint in prison, Harris now finds herself with a frozen account, a tenuous career, and a $7 million dollar fine hanging over her head.
Hopefully she’ll stay out of the club for a while- for the sake of her bank account and her criminal record.
