U can't pay this: MC Hammer sued over delinquent car loan
Baggy pants-wearing rapper MC Hammer is being sued in a US court for allegedly failing to pay off a car loan.
The man behind the 1990 megahit "U Can't Touch This" is facing a lawsuit from JPMorgan Chase claiming he has stopped making payments on a luxury Land Rover.
The suit, filed in a California court last week, names MC Hammer and U Can't Touch This LLC as defendants in the case, claiming the bank loaned them $114,000 to buy the vehicle in 2023.
But after allegedly missing a number of monthly payments, the rapper and his company still owe more than $76,000.
Hammer, whose real name is Stanley Burrell, broke onto the rap scene in the 1980s, but became a global figure with "U Can't Touch This."
The rapper's signature "Hammer Pants," coupled with his rapidly moving elastic legs, made for a dance move that was copied all over the world.
Despite a tie-up Mattel figurine and the "Hammerman" cartoon, his stardom waned and by the mid-1990s, Hammer was going through bankruptcy.
