Huge artists like Kendrick Lamar risk being sued for a host of different reasons and from a number of sources – like die-hard fans with more money than sense.
The rapper is being sued for $1 million (£664,000) by a disgruntled fan following a meet-and-greet dispute.
Lamar was due to meet Whitney Larkins after she paid £233 for a VIP concert package but requested an additional three minutes “one-on-one time” with the singer.
In documents obtained by TMZ, Larkins claims that his manager Dave Free agreed to her request for time alone with Lamar for a ‘cash payment of £6,663’  – but after she ‘repeatedly tried to get more info from Lamar’s team’ she states she received an email the night before the show advising her that she had been banned from attending and would be refunded the original £233 she paid.
The eager fan added that it is with ‘deep sadness’ that she did not get to meet the rapper and described Lamar’s manager as ‘arrogant, snotty and an all-around bad dude from the rooter to the tooter!’
Despite her massive claim for damages following the dispute, Larkins praised Lamar as ‘one of the greatest rappers alive of all time who is on par with Tupac.’
Leading the 58th Grammy Awards with 11 Grammy nods, he probably has more important things to think about.
