Hopefully struggling rapstress Da Brat saved her So So Def checks from back in the day because a judge ordered the rapper Thursday afternoon to pay $6.4 million to the women she attacked back in 2007.
Da Brat, real name Shawntae Harris, served more than 3 years for hitting Shayla Stevens, a former Atlanta Falcons cheerleader, over the head with a bottle of rum in an Atlanta club according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Stevens filed suit while Da Brat was serving time for the attacking, saying she will suffer from the results of the attack for the rest of her life.
“It’s not something that will ever go away. She has a scar on her face. She had so much going for her and for it come to an abrupt stop because of this attack,” said Steven’s Lawyer Mark Link to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Jury members agreed with Stevens and ruled that Da Brat is responsible for causing permanent facial scarring on Stevens as well as neurological impairment and pain notes TMZ.
Da Brat must pay Stevens $3.7 million to cover injuries and lost wages and $2.7 million in punitive damages reports Deadspin.
Da Brat’s Lawyer, B.J. Bernstein said she is unsure whether or not they will appeal the ruling.
