- September 17, 2026
AceShowbiz - Lucki, the Chicago rapper, is being sued by his former manager for $5.9 million over allegations of breach of contract and unpaid financial advances.
On September 8, Mark Buol filed a lawsuit against Lucki in New York, claiming that their professional relationship, which began in 2021, ended in significant financial disputes. According to the 19-page complaint obtained by XXL, Buol had a contract entitling him to 15 percent of Lucki's income from entertainment-related activities.
Buol alleges that throughout their five-year business relationship, he financially supported Lucki's tours, covered expenses to resolve a third-party claim, and played a pivotal role in advancing the rapper's music career. However, the lawsuit states that Lucki repeatedly diverted commissions owed to Buol and failed to reimburse him for substantial tour costs.
In addition to unpaid commissions, Buol claims he was left responsible for thousands of dollars in damages to hotel rooms across the country. The complaint details an ongoing pattern of misconduct by Lucki that caused significant financial harm to Buol, damaged his professional reputation, and exposed him to creditor risks.
The lawsuit further explains that these issues severely depleted Buol’s liquid savings and maxed out his personal credit cards, forcing him into financial distress. Buol is seeking $5.9 million in damages plus interest and has requested a jury trial to resolve the matter.
XXL has reached out to Lucki's team for comment, but no response has been reported at this time. The court documents related to the case have been made publicly available for review.
This lawsuit adds to the ongoing legal challenges that sometimes occur between artists and their management teams in the music industry. The outcome of this case remains to be seen as it progresses through the legal system.
