Two missed performances in Beijing have landed Tyga in another six-figure legal dispute, with a Chinese management company accusing the rapper of accepting payment for appearances he never made. The company claims it attempted to resolve the situation privately but has recovered only $10,000, leaving $135,000 it now wants returned through the courts.
Beijing Tongxing Wanxin Catering Management filed a lawsuit accusing Tyga of fraud and breach of contract, TMZ reported Tuesday (Oct. 27). The complaint concerns two scheduled appearances at Club Pac Star in 2023, neither of which allegedly took place despite the company having paid for his services.
The first performance was scheduled for Aug. 4, followed by another on Oct. 27. After both dates passed without Tyga appearing, the company claims it was assured the rapper would reschedule during the first or second quarter of 2024. However, those arrangements reportedly never materialized, prompting efforts to recover the money.

Tyga Faces Another Lawsuit Over An Alleged Concert No-Show
The management company says it was owed $145,000 and received a $10,000 refund through a settlement. With the remaining balance allegedly unpaid, the lawsuit seeks $135,000 plus interest and punitive damages. TMZ's report did not include a response from Tyga or his representatives addressing the allegations.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time the "Rack City" rapper has faced legal trouble over an international performance agreement. In June 2018, concert promoter Heavy Rotation sued Tyga after allegedly paying him $141,000 to perform at several venues in the United Arab Emirates. The promoter accused him of abandoning the arrangement after receiving a more lucrative offer from a competing Dubai nightclub.
That dispute eventually grew into a $1.4 million lawsuit, although Tyga challenged the allegations. He maintained that he had never agreed to restrictions preventing him from performing at other venues. Further, he accused the promoter of failing to secure the necessary approvals for one of the scheduled shows.
Unlike the newly filed Beijing case, the earlier dispute has a documented resolution. The Blast reported in April 2019 that Tyga and Heavy Rotation had reached a settlement and agreed to dismiss the lawsuit. The financial terms were not disclosed, so the amount ultimately paid to resolve the dispute remains unknown.
