Stop. Repo time! MC Hammer sued for allegedly failing to make $2,000 monthly car payments
The '2 Legit 2 Quit' rapper, born Stanley Burrell, bought the SUV with a plan for 60 monthly payments of $2,434 from a dealership in Livermore, California, according to a complaint filed last week by JPMorgan Chase Bank in San Joaquin County Superior Court.
However, when the 63-year-old missed several payments, the bank 'demanded possession of the Vehicle from Defendants. Defendants have not surrendered the Vehicle,' the complaint says.
The contract lists the buyers of the vehicle as MC Hammer and U Can't Touch This LLC, according to The Mercury News.
The lawsuit notes the rapper still owed $76,732.79 as of July 16, 2025, according to SFist. The Independent has reached out to MC Hammer's representatives for comment.
It's not the first time the 'U Can't Touch This' singer has faced financial troubles.
At the height of his fame in the 1990s, the rapper bought a luxurious Fremont Hills mansion and spent millions of dollars on improvements – including a recording studio and two swimming pools. However, in 1996, he filed for bankruptcy, claiming his assets were only worth $1 million – but that he had debts totaling at least $10 million, SFGate reported at the time.
He was then forced to sell the mansion and move his family into a three-bedroom home in Tracy, a city about an hour outside of San Francisco.
A recent Google Street View image of his property showed six cars in the driveway, including a green Land Rover Defender, according to The Mercury News.

Caitlin Clark scolds Indiana Fever teammates as they beg for swimsuit endorsement deal
Caitlin Clark didn't have much patience for her sunbathing Indiana Fever teammates before Tuesday's loss in Los Angeles. With the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year nursing a groin injury, Fever teammates Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull spent their pre-game poolside, where they solicited swimsuit endorsement deals on TikTok. 'We are off to our game tonight,' read the post on Cunningham's page. 'Convince us there's a swimsuit brand that wants to partner with two Indiana Fever mermaids.' Cunningham and Hull sported black bikinis in the short clip, garnering a wave of responses online, including a scathingly funny comment from Clark. 'Swimsuit brands,' Clark wrote, 'plz comment 'focus on basketball.' Then, after giving swimsuit brands ample time to make an offer, Clark went in for the kill: 'And no one responds.' Unfortunately for the Fever, the rest of their Tuesday in Los Angeles wasn't any better. Not only did they lose to the Sparks, 100-91, but the defeat was briefly interrupted by yet another sex toy being thrown onto the court by a hostile spectator. Tuesday's incident in LA followed similar interruptions in Chicago and suburban Atlanta, where one man has been arrested for allegedly throwing sex toys at WNBA games. Cunningham previously warned fans against throwing sex toys onto the court, only to have the projectile slid into her foot during the second quarter of Tuesday's loss. 'No way that thing actually hit me,' an embarrassed Cunningham wrote on social media, adding: 'I knew I shouldn't have tweeted that.' Cunningham also addressed the disturbing trend in her 'Show Me Something' podcast. 'I was thinking about like, if someone threw that thing and like, first of all, the bounce that that thing had, if that smacks someone in the face, you know that's gonna be plastered everywhere,' Cunningham said. 'I just know how things go viral now. And I just know that thing like, even came from like the rafters or bounced and just slapped me right in the face. That would be what I'd be known for, for life. So I was just trying to protect all of our images.' After giving swimsuit brands ample time to make an offer, Clark went in for the kill Meanwhile, a Georgia man arrested for allegedly throwing sex toys onto the floor of two WNBA games last week was publicly identified Tuesday after being booked on multiple charges in an Atlanta suburb. Delbert Carver, 23, was released from Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro on Sunday one day after being charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure, and criminal trespass, according to online records. Police say he was arrested after throwing a sex toy onto the court during the Atlanta Dream's win over the visiting Phoenix Mercury on Friday. He also allegedly confessed to police that he was involved in a similar incident in Atlanta's July 29 loss to the visiting Golden State Valkyries - a shocking moment that went viral last week and appears to have inspired copycats in Chicago and Los Angeles . Carver was allegedly live streaming Friday's incident in Atlanta before being apprehended.

Rivian Reports $1.1B Q2 Loss But Holds 2025 Delivery Forecast
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Rivian's Q2 earnings are out, and while the EV startup posted another sizable loss — $1.1 billion — the company is standing by its full-year delivery guidance of 40,000 to 46,000 vehicles. That's despite continued cost pressures, weakening regulatory credit income, and delivery volumes that came in lighter than expected. Revenue for the quarter was $1.3 billion, up slightly year-over-year and just ahead of analyst estimates, but still well below what investors were hoping for. The company's adjusted loss per share landed at $0.80, missing expectations by $0.04. Production Down, Losses Up Rivian produced 5,979 vehicles and delivered 10,661 in Q2, both down significantly compared to last year. The company said the dip is tied to planned factory retooling ahead of the launch of its upcoming R2 SUV — a mid-size, sub-$50,000 model aimed squarely at volume growth from 2026 onward. That said, costs per vehicle remain steep. On average, Rivian spent $118,375 to build each EV last quarter, thanks to inflationary headwinds, rare earth material constraints, and reduced EV tax credit access. Regulatory credits, which once padded the balance sheet, are now expected to bring in just $160 million this year — nearly half the earlier forecast. Rivian's full-year EBITDA loss guidance has now widened to $2.0–$2.25 billion, from its previous $1.7–$1.9 billion range. Source: Rivian What's Next: R2, Repositioning, and Relevance Despite its financial drag, Rivian is focusing heavily on its upcoming R2 platform, with pilot builds already underway and capital expenditures projected at $1.8–$1.9 billion for the year. Positioned to compete in a broader, more price-sensitive segment, the R2 is intended to do what the brand's flagship R1T and R1S models have struggled with: reach beyond the enthusiast core and connect with everyday buyers. While updates to the 2025 R1T and R1S have refined the platform's feel and responsiveness, the vehicles still carry high price tags — and aren't resonating with all the right audiences. A recent S&P Global study found that Rivian continues to underperform with female buyers, a demographic that legacy brands like Ford and Toyota increasingly view as central to their EV strategy. Still, Rivian is doubling down on brand appeal. This summer, it brought back its most viral party trick: Tank Turn, the feature that lets the R1S or R1T rotate in place like an off-road hovercraft. First teased back in 2019, the quad-motor function never actually reached customers — but that's set to change, as Rivian looks to reignite attention in its existing lineup ahead of the R2 rollout. Takeaway It's another quarter of deep red ink for Rivian, but the message from CEO RJ Scaringe is steady: losses are expected, scale is coming, and R2 is the hinge point. Whether that's enough to calm Wall Street remains to be seen — but for now, the company isn't blinking. About the Author Max Taylor View Profile
