Rich The Kid tried to pull a dine and dash on a videographer. In the days of social media, however, it is extremely difficult to pull one over on people. This is especially true when it comes to money. Some people might let it slide. Unfortunately for Rich, the man published the receipts online. The videographer, who shot a music video for the rapper, has accused him of not paying him at all. Apparently, Rich owes him more than $8,000 for his services.
That’s not all. Walt Productions also claims that he traveled all the way to New York and Miami to shoot and edit the video. Still, he has not been paid by the Georgia native. So, he did what any unpaid creative would do in the year 2023. He shared direct messages from Rich The Kid and his invoice which included expenses for travel, lodging, and the requested package, totaling to $8,241.
Sadly, the unpaid videographer is not Rich The Kid’s only problem this week. The rapper has also been accused of attempting to pay a woman off with “hush money.” This was to keep her quiet about her alleged pregnancy by him. The woman, who filed a suit under the name “Jane Doe,” made her claim in a Massachusetts court. She alleged that Rich The Kid sexually assaulted her in January and prevented her from leaving a hotel room. After she managed to escape, the two reportedly had consensual sex that resulted in a pregnancy. They both agreed to terminate it. Court documents reveal that the rapper attempted to pay her off to keep the pregnancy and assault allegations secret.
Jane Doe says that Rich The Kid agreed to pay $35,000 in hush money to keep quiet about the incident. However, according to court documents, the rapper still owes her $25,000. She alleges that the money was paid to her so that Rich The Kid’s fiancée, Tori Brixx, wouldn’t find out. Rich The Kid’s lawyer has not commented on the matter yet. Prior to this controversy, Rich The Kid and Tori Brixx appeared to be in a loving relationship, as evidenced by a video posted by The Shade Room earlier this year showing the couple on a boat vacation.

Music photographer Jill Furmanovsky said she wasn’t taken aback by the overwhelming excitement surrounding the Oasis reunion tour.
The photographer has been capturing the Wonderwall hitmakers for more than thirty years and shared that the Oasis Live '25 Tour, which brought Noel and Liam Gallagher back on stage together for the first time in 16 years, worked so well because the concerts have always been “about the audience”.
Jill, who first crossed paths with Oasis at one of their early shows at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in 1994, explained to NME: “It didn’t catch us off guard, because Oasis have always been about the crowd. Always. There was never much to shoot on stage.
“Even at the Cambridge Corn Exchange, the performance itself was simple, but the people in the crowd knew every word and were completely swept up in it.
“And that hasn’t really changed over time. They just bring out that songbook and deliver it. Liam is still magnetic and captivating, even when he keeps it minimal. It remains incredibly powerful. That’s the essence of their show.”
Furmanovsky, who has photographed icons like Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin over the course of her fifty-year career, added: “What they’ve done with this new tour, the production, and the visuals… it’s something special.
“The mix of generations in the crowd is also striking. I went with my 13-year-old granddaughter, and there were plenty of kids her age singing along word for word. It’s incredible.
“‘Biblical’ is the term people throw around. It sounds almost silly, but when two brothers who’ve been at odds for years come together again, there really is something biblical about that alone. Combine it with what they’re putting on stage… it’s unlike anything else.”
Jill’s latest book Trying To Find A Way Out Of Nowhere reflects her years documenting Oasis, and she shared that no current act matches what the Supersonic band represents. She was also able to photograph them once again at one of their massive Wembley Stadium shows during the reunion tour.
She said: “There aren’t many artists today who can step into the space Oasis occupies and actually live up to it.
“We’re in a different time now, a kind of in-between phase. It feels like the closing of a rock ‘n’ roll chapter. That doesn’t mean talent or creativity is gone. It’s like with painting — we still have great impressionists, but we’re no longer living in the impressionist era.”
