While Rick Ross just purchased a massive mansion in Georgia and is prepared to move on in, Flo Rida is having some issues with his home purchase dating back to 2009. The pop star says he was scammed by the home owners, who took his payment and never sealed the deal.

As reported by TMZ, Flo Rida forked over $170,000 for a home in his native Florida. He gave the money to a couple, Pierre and Marie Malette, in an attempt to secure the home. However, the Malettes never closed the deal with the rapper, they just took his $170k down payment.

The couple have gone on to file for bankruptcy, and Flo Rida filed a claim in their case demanding his $170,000 back.
