Judge Orders Akon To Pay Over $164K In Default Judgement For Failing To Respond To A Lawsuit

A leasing company called GTFM is accusing #Akon of failing to pay for seven months worth of rent.

According to @TMZ_Tv, the singer moved into the 66th floor of the Empire State Building back in July 2012 in order to begin working on his clothing line Aliaune Milano.

Akon reportedly paid $25K in rent each month until July 2015 when payments stopped altogether. He finally moved out of the property in January 2016, but by then he owed almost $150,000 in rent.

GTFM had sued the singer for the amount he owed, however he never responded to the lawsuit. This week, the judge issued a default judgment in the Leasing company’s favor.

Now, after all the fees attached, the payment has swelled to $164,786.99. Yikes!
