Young Money’s Tyga could be out over $100,000 for reportedly violating a contract he signed with a Nevada company last year.

According to reports, a Las Vegas promoter wants major bucks from Tyga for breaking a $25,000 contract he signed at Body English in summer 2014.

Part of the deal was that Tyga couldn’t perform anywhere else in Vegas a week before the concert and a month after. It’s called a “radius” clause, and it’s really common. The promoter — Z Entertainment — claims Tyga hopped onstage at another Vegas venue the night before the Body English gig. The promoter also says Tyga screwed them over when he was a no-show last November at a gig in Santa Monica. (TMZ)

Despite the perception, Cash Money Records boss Birdman recently revealed Tyga had a new contract with his company.

“Tyga’s new contract is a new contract,” Baby revealed in an interview. “Ask him, don’t ask me. Ask him. His new contract is a new contract. We re-did his deal. Come on man, Turk’s way back – that’s pennies. We ain’t even going to entertain Turk. That’s way back, that’s small money. … But Tyga got new money, that’s new money. Ask him. You don’t have to ask me, he’ll tell you. He felt like he wanted to do something different because his relationship with the other artists. That ain’t have nothing to do with me. His contract wasn’t with me. His contract was with Young Money – I’m trying to make it work. I ain’t got a problem with Tyga, Tyga ain’t got a problem with me. I don’t think he got a problem with [Lil] Wayne.” (Power 105.1)

Reports claimed Tyga’s new album sold under 3,000 copies in its opening week earlier this summer.

Tyga released The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty on iTunes last week, with a little help from his rumoured girlfriend Kylie Jenner. However the Kardashian konnection doesn’t seem to have done much for sales, according to Complex Magazine, SoundScan say The Gold Album has shifted 2,200 copies in its first week of release. (Metro)
