Joey Bada$$ Hands Could Cost Him $1.5 Million

Written By Cyrus Langhorne

New York rapper Joey Bada$$ might have to dig deep into his pockets in the near future. New reports claim a celebrity impersonator wants him to cough up $1.5 million.

According to reports, a September altercation between Joey and President Donald Trump impersonator Phillip Wilburn is turning ugly.

Phillip Wilburn, who’s appeared on “Conan” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” before, says he was performing at an L.A. MTV event in September when Joey shoved him in the back with such force he fell off the stage. Wilburn says he had to shell out $1k in medical expenses after the fall and might possibly need surgery so things could add up to $25k. He thinks he’ll lose around $50k in lost profits due to his injuries. Wilburn wants more than $1.5 million in damages. (TMZ)

This week, rap veteran T.I. publicly ripped comedian Steve Harvey for recently coming to President Trump’s defense.

A few days ago, Harvey sparked headlines after scolding hip-hop artists like Snoop Dogg and Bow Wow for bashing the Trumpster.

“I love Snoop. Bow Wow, always respectful and cordial with one another, me and T.I. I don’t have no problem with T.I. I love the dude. I’m just saying brothers be smart. You gotta be smart man. All y’all talking got money. You got money, man. You got money and they know how to go after that money. Just be smart, handle your business. Let me tell ya man, leave the first lady out of this. Y’all going down another path with these cats now. You start messing with they wives – I’ll tell y’all you going down another path.”

A few nights prior, Snoop Dogg revealed his disinterest in acknowledging the controversy which came from him shooting a fake Trump in his “Lavender” music video.

“They all want to ask me questions and interview me but guess what? I’ve got nothing to say, mate.”
