Rapper Da Brat has been steadily on the rise with her ‘comeback’ after serving jail time over a club brawl but she’s now facing a severe financial setback.
If you recall, the rapper was ordered to pay millions of dollars in damages back in 2014 to Shayla Stevens, the former Atlanta Falcons cheerleader she smashed in the face with bottle back in 2007 .
Welp, Shayla wants her dough and now she’s filed several garnishment documents in an attempt to secure payment.

It’s official! Comedian/radio personality Rickey Smiley has landed his own reality show.
Smiley tried his hand at a scripted series based on his life a while back (click HERE if you missed that) but it didn’t do too well, and now he and Roger Bobb are trying again… this time without a ‘script’.
TV One recently announced that Smiley’s show is in production and the hour-long show featuring the syndicated morning show host and stand-up comedian will be titled “Rickey Smiley For Real.”
The new reality show will reportedly follow Smiley as he navigates the “ups” and “downs” of professional demands, single fatherhood, and intimate relationships.
Shooting in Atlanta, Georgia, where he resides during the week, and in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, where he raises his family, Smiley’s struggle to find work-life balance while trying to maintain a love life will be a central focus of the series.
[Sidebar: Pretty soon there will be no one in Atlanta without a reality show! *sigh*]

Word on the curb is that Demetria McKinney, the up & coming pop star/friend of the show on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, may have ‘borrowed’ the track for her ‘Keep it 100’ single (ft. Da Brat) from an up & coming gospel artist.
Demetria performed her song during the RHOA girl’s trip in Puerto Rico (click HERE if you missed that). Well, that nationwide tv exposure may have exposed her single to a bit of scrutiny.
