Sexyy Red is facing a request for a $5 million default judgment in a civil lawsuit brought by the grandmother of one of her children, who alleges that the rapper encouraged her large social media following to target her with threats and violence.
Nicole Barnes alleges in court documents that Sexyy Red posted her home address online and urged followers to “kick the door in” at the property. Barnes says the alleged posts left her fearing for her safety and ultimately forced her to leave her home.
The lawsuit was initially filed in March 2025. Barnes now claims that Sexyy Red has failed to respond to the case despite attempts to serve her with the legal papers.
According to the court filings, efforts to serve the rapper through conventional methods were unsuccessful. Barnes subsequently obtained permission to serve her through publication in a newspaper, but alleges that Sexyy Red still did not respond. She is now asking the court to enter a default judgment and award her $5 million in damages.
A default judgment can be entered when a defendant fails to respond to a lawsuit, but Barnes’ request does not mean that the rapper has been ordered to pay the money. The court has not yet ruled on the $5 million request.
Sexyy Red’s attorney, Jason Lampert, has rejected the allegations and said the rapper intends to defend herself in court. “The claims asserted in this case are baseless and completely without merit. Red categorically denies these allegations and looks forward to defending herself in court,” Lampert said.
The dispute involves the grandmother of one of Sexyy Red’s two children. The rapper has a four-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter.
For now, the allegations remain unproven claims in a civil lawsuit. No $5 million judgment has been awarded, and the court has yet to determine whether Barnes’ allegations have merit.
