The Rack City hitmaker has been embroiled in a dispute over back rent he allegedly owes to his landlord, but didn't attend court as a judge ruled against him on Monday (24Aug15), according to TMZ.com.

Tyga claimed he has an agreement to buy the property, which is in the same community as one owned by his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, and insisted he had put down a deposit of $200,000 (£125,000) a year ago. He also claimed the landlord let him move in without paying rent while a loan was being processed.

It is the second time Tyga has fallen foul of rent arrears - in June (15), he was ordered to pay $80,000 (£50,000) over an outstanding bill on another home.
