A judge ordered Roddy Ricch to pay $2,125 in penalties and testify under oath in a fast-tracked deposition related to a lawsuit over a car accident that is scheduled for trial next month.
The rapper, who won a Grammy for his song “Racks in the Middle” and topped the Billboard Hot 100 with “The Box,” allegedly crashed his Dodge Charger into the back of another car on a ramp of the 110 freeway in Los Angeles in June 2019.
The other driver, Chu Shin Kim, says he suffered “significant injuries.” He filed a lawsuit against the musician for negligence in 2020. The trial is set for Dec. 7.
Ricch, whose real name is Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr., agreed to be deposed earlier, but only if both parties signed a protective order that would prevent “disclosure and dissemination” of his testimony to third parties, especially “print and online media organizations and tabloids,” according to court documents.
On Monday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Lisa Jaskol ruled that Ricch did not show up for three depositions in February, April, and June without giving timely objections. She also said that the plaintiff’s lawyer agreed to sign a protective order drafted by Ricch’s side, but the rapper’s team did not send the document. The plaintiff is seeking damages for medical bills, property loss, and lost earnings. “Plaintiff was hurt and injured in his health, strength, and activity, sustaining injury to his nervous system and person, all of which injuries have caused, and continue to cause, plaintiff great mental, physical, emotional, and nervous pain, suffering, and distress,” the lawsuit says.
In January 2020, Ricch released a video for his track “Boom Boom Room” that showed a scene where he gets out of a flipped car crash with blood on his face.
