Da Brat lists her monthly income as an entertainer/radio personality as $9,319 but her expenses total $10,506.55 a month, so she’s in the hole every month by $1,187.
New reports indicate that the star’s bankruptcy may not be her saving grace when it comes to the millions she owes Shayla Stevens.
Stevens has been actively pursuing Da Brat’s income for quite some time now, and even tried to garnish her wages last year (click HERE if you missed that).
Brat could be facing contempt as Stevens legal team seem to feel she is attempting to hide assets and have petitioned to court to order Da Brat to appear in court and turn over financial documents. They also want her held in contempt from skipping a previous hearing.

In response, Da Brat has filed for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to stop Stevens from her trying to collect on the millions.
It will be interesting to see how this all turns out because it seems as thought Da Brat is hell bent on not paying that lady.
