Rapper Sexyy Red is facing a lawsuit from Nicole Barnes, the grandmother of her children. The grandmother claims that the artist publicly shared Barnes’ home address and encouraged her social media followers to harm her.

According to legal documents filed on Monday, Barnes alleges that in December 2024, Sexyy Red posted her address online and instructed her large fan base to “kick in the door” and do harm to her and her family. Barnes claims that this act left her in extreme fear for her safety, forcing her to flee her home and rendering her unable to return. As a result, she has struggled to find affordable housing and has been experiencing ongoing emotional distress. The lawsuit states that Barnes has been in therapy to cope with the trauma and anxiety caused by the incident.

In response to these alleged actions, Barnes is suing Sexyy Red for assault and infliction of emotional distress. She is seeking over $5 million in damages for the harm she has suffered. It remains unclear whether Sexyy Red has responded to the lawsuit or if she intends to fight the claims in court. 

If Barnes’ allegations are proven, Sexyy Red could face serious legal and financial repercussions. The situation continues to develop as both sides prepare for a potential legal battle. More news to come as the story develops.
