A1 Bentley, who stars in Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, is being sued by an 18-year old artist and her father for $1.8 million for allegedly failing to meet his end of a production contract. 

The 18-year old artist C’Marie, née Carley Masten, entered into a production deal with Bentley in 2018 when the two began working together on developing her career. The deal stated that Bentley would craft songs and develop the young artist’s talent. In order to help produce an album, music videos as well as radio promotion for the young star, Mr. Masten gave A1 $376,400– which he says were his “life savings” in the lawsuit. However, nothing happened.

In the million-dollar lawsuit filed against A1 by the teenage artist and her father, Jeffrey Masten, they accuse the reality TV star of breaching his contract, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, and conversation.  

In the suit, Mr. Masten explains he believed Bentley to be, “a music producer with a reputation as a credible professional with hit songs to his name and was seen as an established star in the entertainment industry. Defendant Bentley’s credits include songs with renowned artists of the likes of Usher, Chris Brown, Ty Dolla Sign, Wiz Khalifa, and G-Eazy.”

They claim that Bentley then “quickly transitioned from star producer to one who began to lose his luster and become so desperate to make money he no longer cares about doing quality work, just stealing money from inexperienced people hoping to get into the music industry (as the Plaintiffs both were when they met Defendant Bentley.)”

Equally, they claim that A1 promised her an appearance on Love & Hip-Hop which never happened, as well as an opening spot on T-Pain‘s tour– which apparently went to his wife, Lyrica Anderson, instead. 

The father-daughter duo are now seeking the $376,400 they initially paid to A1 to help develop C’Marie, and an additional $1.5 million in punitive damages.

This news comes following the recent announcement of the indefinite hiatus of filming for Love & Hip Hop due to COVID-19.

While his ex-girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion was somewhere getting her face licked by G-Eazy, it was reported that Moneybagg Yo and his girlfriend Ari Fletcher were fighting in the streets of Miami. Celebrities descended on Miami over the weekend not only for Super Bowl LIV, but for the parties that the football festivities bring. It was a madhouse around Miami as everyone enjoyed themselves across the city, but rumors began to spread that Moneybagg and Ari were involved in an altercation.

It was reported by various outlets that Moneybagg snatched Ari’s wig off and that Ari punched Moneybagg in the face. Later, A1 Bentley allegedly ushered the couple into an awaiting vehicle before telling them to flee the scene. As the gossip slinked its way throughout social media on Monday (February 3), Ari surfaced with a selfie video that showed there was nothing wrong with her appearance as some had suggested.

Then, Moneybagg decided to hop on Instagram Live to do a little damage control. While he didn’t seem to directly answer questions about the alleged incident, the rapper blasted music and insinuated that he wasn’t involved in any drama. “Everything is positive,” the rapper stated. “Everybody’s in good spirits. Everything is positive.”

Elsewhere, a fan asked if he was single and the rapper simply stated “no.” It looks like whatever may have happened wasn’t serious enough to break up Moneybagg and Ari. Check out his brief clips below.
