Back in Sept. 2018, the singer and her ex were sued by Golden Venus LLC for breach of contract for allegedly not paying nearly $60,000 in back rent, damaging their Beverly Hills mansion, and removing pre-installed audio-visual equipment that supposedly came with the house, according to court documents obtained by Bossip.
