\n\tFormer Hot Boys member Turk is being sued by a concert promoter over online threats that supposedly threatened to derail a Cash Money Records reunion tour this summer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe $12 million breach of contract and defamation lawsuit, filed in New York federal court on Wednesday (Oct. 29), is the latest in a bitter legal salvo between Turk (Tab Virgil Jr.) and promoter Dope Shows over the Cash Money Millionaires 30th Anniversary Tour. Named in honor of a Cash Money Records supergroup from the \u201990s, the ongoing reunion tour features Cash Money figures like Birdman, Juvenile and former Hot Boy B.G.<\/p>\n

\n\tTurk originally signed onto the tour as well, but was kicked off the roster before his first performance this summer. The rapper subsequently sued Dope Shows for $340,000 in Florida last month, alleging he was removed from the tour because the promoter wasn\u2019t selling enough tickets and ran out of money to pay him.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, Dope Shows is countering in its own lawsuit that money had nothing to do with Turk\u2019s removal. Rather, the promoter says it had to boot Turk because he had been physically threatening B.G. on social media \u2014 leading venues to voice concerns about potential violence and risking disruptive intervention from B.G.\u2019s probation officer.<\/p>\n

\n\tDope Shows alleges that in response, Turk began posting defamatory content on Instagram, spreading his false narrative that the promoter was struggling financially. Dope Shows claims Turk\u2019s Florida case is a \u201csham lawsuit\u201d that merely serves to amplify those falsehoods. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDesperate to revive his flagging rap career, Turk is attempting to sabotage the tour through childish and petulant antics that he hopes will regain the public\u2019s attention,\u201d writes Dope Shows\u2019 lawyer, Jeffrey Movit<\/strong>. \u201cTurk\u2019s publicity stunts are an abject failure, as they have done nothing to advance his career. Rather, through his malicious and misguided actions, Turk has created nothing more than massive legal liability for himself in this lawsuit\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n\tDope Shows alleges that Turk owes $5 million for breach of contract and $7 million for defamation. According to the lawsuit, Turk\u2019s conduct has deterred fans from attending the reunion tour and led other artists to doubt the promoter\u2019s abilities.<\/p>\n

\n\tTurk\u2019s attorney, Paul Aloise, <\/strong>denied all of Dope Shows\u2019 claims in a statement to Billboard <\/em>on Friday (Oct. 31). Aloise says the new lawsuit is a \u201cdesperate attempt\u201d by the promoter to \u201ctry and shift the blame away from their own unethical business practices and promotional failures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhile the complaint defames my client and says that he was attempting to sabotage the tour to try and revive his flagging rap career, the complaint conveniently leaves out the fact that on August 3, 2025, Turk, released his own album, JOSEPH, on iTunes, which peaked at #5 on the iTunes Hip-Hop Chart,\u201d added Aloise. \u201cThus, my client has no intentions of trying to sabotage a tour he wants to be on, let alone to help his rap career.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
