Jhene Aiko is being accused of negligence.

According to reports, Jhene Aiko is being sued by a woman who alleges that the songstress rear-ended her car in 2022. The woman, Genelle Ligot, accuses Aiko of being negligent behind the wheel, which she claims has left her with injuries and a financial burden. Ligot is seeking damages, alleging that the accident caused her "wage loss, loss of use of property, hospital and medical expenses, general damage, property damage and loss of earning capacity.” She's additionally demanding a trial with a jury.

The suit claims that Ligot was stopped at a traffic light at the corner of Ventura Boulevard and Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino, California in July of 2022 when the accident occurred. “Ligot was stopped at a traffic light when [Aiko] struck [her] from behind. Due to the negligent actions of [Aiko] while operating the motor vehicle, [Ligot] was injured in health, strength, and activity," it reads.
