Atlanta Jeweler Sues Young Thug over $115,000 In Unpaid Jewelry

Young Thug is facing a new civil lawsuit alleging he owes more than $115,000 to an Atlanta jeweler.

Icebox, the self-proclaimed hip-hop jeweler located on Peachtree Road in the Buckhead district in Atlanta is suing the rapper to collect the debt.

Attorneys for the business claim Young Thug, took more than $200,000 worth of jewelry from the store on the promise he would pay in full at a later date.

The transactions took place over four store visits from May 2017 to May of this year, according to a complaint filed Tuesday on behalf of the jeweler in Fulton County Superior Court.

Thug made $95,000 in payments on the invoices, but they were never paid in full, attorneys for Icebox claim.

Among the merchandise listed in the suit is a $30,000 Rolex watch, a $20,000 Cartier bracelet and a $30,000 diamond wallet chain with a $6,500 rose gold clasp.

The jeweler claims Young Thug “intentionally induced Icebox to allow him to take merchandise” and alleges he never intended to pay for it.

Matthew Parrish, an attorney with Robbins Ross Alloy Belinfante Littlefield, the Atlanta-based firm representing the jeweler, said his firm sent a letter Oct. 16 demanding the $115,090 balance be paid in full.

“We told him if he did not respond, or at least get back to us to discuss the debt, within 30 days, we would sue him,” he said.

So far, Parrish said Young Thug has been unresponsive. 

Attorneys for Icebox are asking for a jury trial and for a judge to demand Young Thug pay off the outstanding balance plus $250,000 in punitive damages, as well as paying the attorneys’ fees.

Young Thug is also embroiled in another civil suit alleging he owes more than $2.2 million on his swanky Buckhead Heights mansion.

That home was put up for sale Nov. 13, the day before he was released from jail, according to The Blast.
