Rich The Kid's celebration took an unexpected turn.

Earlier this week, Rich The Kid celebrated the upcoming release of his new album Life’s A Gamble with a star-studded release party in Hollywood. Unfortunately, however, his evening took an unexpected turn that was caught on camera. As he entered the party, Rich The Kid was served with court papers, reportedly from his former jeweler Peter Marco. Marco sued the rapper back in 2020 for $234K over an allegedly unpaid tab.

When the suit was first filed, Marco said that Rich had been purchasing jewelry like diamond necklaces, crosses, watches, and more since 2017. He claimed that he made payments on the items for a while, which allegedly eventually stopped. Marco alleges that Rich continued to order additional pieces. He says he continued to deliver too, until the tab got to where it is today.

Rich The Kid's Album Release Party Takes An Unexpected Turn

The court documents surely put a damper on Rich The Kid's celebration. Fortunately, however, he still appears to have enjoyed his evening. He was spotted partying with DDG, his wife Tori Brixx, and more. As for the album itself, it's slated for release on July 19 and boasts various high-profile features from the likes of Offset and Kanye West. Ye even previously claimed that he's going into retirement following the release, potentially making their "Plain Jane" collab one for the history books.

It's not the only collaboration he's teamed up with the Chicago-born rapper for as of late either. At the end of last month, he also recruited both Ye and Ty Dolla Sign for a new single, "Gimme A Second 2."
