Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave‘s hurting financially following a recent jail bond release. New reports claim the hip-hop artist’s legal restrictions have put a dent in his wallet.
According to Ave’s attorney John Stella, his inability to land paid performances has made life difficult while on bail.
Rapper Troy Ave will have to wait until at least next month to see if his bail conditions will be loosened up by a judge. Troy Ave, whose legal name is Roland Collins, has missed dozens of tour dates and lost tens of thousands of dollars due to the restrictions, his lawyer, John Stella, told DNAinfo New York on Friday. “He’s barely able to get by,” he said. “Touring is what drives everything else, and it’s hard to release music if he can’t promote it with live performances.” (DNAinfo)
Recently, Ave’s pal 50 Cent weighed-in on the rapper taking legal action against New York nightclub venue Irving Plaza.
Over the summer, buzz developed about Ave’s lawsuit against the nightclub where he allegedly fired off a gunshot.
The lawsuit will allege that Irving Plaza and the concert giant that operates the club, Live Nation, had poor security measures in place and allowed a gun to enter the venue — which ultimately led to the shooting, according to sources familiar with the suit. (PIX 11)
