Ghanaian-American Rapper Vic Mensa Reacts After Landlord Sued Him Over $8k Unpaid Rent

Ghanaian-American rapper Vic Mensa has reacted after a former landlord sued him claiming he owes over $8,000 in rent.

According to Mensa, the claim is absolutely false and that he had to vacate the building due to lack of security that endangered his girlfriend’s life.

TMZ reported the news initially – Vic Mensa is scheduled to appear in landlord-tenant court on August 25 to answer for an eviction request from his landlord.

The initial claim for eviction was filed on Tuesday (July 25), and the rapper is allegedly behind more than $8,000 in unpaid rent.

The landlord’s attorney, George Georgopoulos complained this his client “is left holding the bag of paying real estate taxes, maintenance, and other costs for the building while Vic Mensa continues to use and occupy the space without paying rent.”

Mensa’s spokesperson released a statement debunking everything.

“The negligence of this landlord put the lives of Vic Mensa’s family in danger, particularly his girlfriend who was alone when their home in Chicago was broken into by an armed serial rapist who we later learned had AIDS and a long history of attacks against women,” the rep told HipHopDX.

“Luckily she is safe, and the intruder was incarcerated. There was zero security on the building and the landlord refused to install any amidst numerous requests, so Vic moved as he wasn’t under any lease obligations to remain in the unit. The landlord was in violation of multiple Chicago Renters Rights codes and instead of taking accountability he’s attempting a money grab to collect rent from after the break-in occurred when Vic wasn’t even living in the building anymore.”
