American rapper Sexyy Red is facing a $5 million (USD) lawsuit for allegedly inciting violence against the grandmother of one of her children.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the rapper whose real name is Janae Wherry allegedly posted Nicole Barnes’ home address and photo on Facebook in December 2024, urging followers to “kick in the door” and attack her.
Barnes’ attorney, Steven Weaver, says Red’s feud with her child’s father dragged his client into unnecessary drama. “We tried to handle this privately, but her attorneys thought it was a joke. Now they’re realising it’s not,” he told the outlet.
Barnes says she had to move for safety reasons, is struggling to find affordable housing, and is in therapy due to emotional distress. She’s seeking $5 million in damages.
The 26-year-old rapper has yet to comment on the lawsuit.
