Who Is Suing Saweetie & Why?
As reported by TMZ, Moon Dream Production filed the lawsuit against Saweetie. Court docs reportedly state that the rapper agreed to perform four shows in Japan last summer, from July 18 to July 26. To secure the performances, the company allegedly paid her a $100,000 deposit, with an agreement to pay another $100,000 for a total of $200,000.
Moon Dream Production alleges Saweetie took the deposit but never took the stage, thus breaching the contract. Additionally, lawsuit docs claim she and her team “utilized all the visa services” that the promoter secured on her behalf. Those services allowed her to enter Japan to perform. But rather than hit the four stages they agreed to, Moon Dream Production claims she “proceeded to perform at different venues for other vendors on the same dates she was contractually bound” to them.
As a result, it appears the company requested a refund of the deposit, but Saweetie and her team have allegedly refused. The lawsuit claims the promoter lost out on $100,000 in merchandise and promotional expenses, plus $200,000 on the venue. Moon Dream Production had expected to make at least $400,000 across the scheduled shows, but with the no-shows, that didn’t happen. At this time, it’s unclear why Saweetie allegedly did not fulfill the contract. The company wants $3 million in punitive damages.

Saweetie Talks About Keeping Her Music Dream Alive
Less than a month after her alleged no-shows in Japan, Saweetie clocked internet trolls who were urging her to give up music. An X account tweeted that her career was “like an iPhone with 1% battery.” The user added, “Everyone can see it’s about to die, but she’s still acting like it’s fully charged. She’s blaming her label for not putting a dollar behnd her, but let’s be real…even if they did, that dollar would’ve been better spent at Dollar Tree…” The user also called her recent music releases “flop singles.” In response, Saweetie said she’s not giving up easily on her dream, 1% and all.
