Da Brat wasn’t the only one who was shocked when a judge ruled that she owed former Atlanta Falcons cheerleader Shayla Stevens $6.4 million for a 2007 assault. Most fans of the rapper also dropped their jaws when they heard about what she was required to pay. TMZ recently asked the rapper why she was ordered to pay so much.


While chatting with TMZ head honcho Harvey Levin, brat discussed the lawsuit and took responsibility for injuring the woman during a nightclub fight in 2007, in which she hit Stevens in the head with a bottle. However, Brat still thinks that $6.4 million is too high of a price to pay.


“Well, I knew that I shouldn’t have done what I did and I knew that she was entitled to something, but $6.4 million? Hell no!” Brat exclaimed.

In the lawsuit, Stevens claimed that she suffered “permanent facial scarring, neurological impairment, and severe mental pain” from her injuries. However, Brat claims that there was no solid proof of such injuries.


“Well, they had all of her doctor bills and stuff, and they said that they came to about $60,000. They didn’t even have a neurologist there, a true neurologist, or a true neurological surgeon, or anything like that to show proof that there was neurological damage,” Brat explained.

Brat explained that because she pled guilty to her crime, she couldn’t defend herself against Stevens’ claims. Brat says that she still can’t share her side of the story yet, but that other witnesses are willing to speak. However, Brat claims that the cheerleader exaggerated her side of the story to win the case.

“She was an aspiring actress and in court, she needs to be at the Golden Globes because she deserves and award,” Brat joked.

When Brat was asked if she could afford to pay the judgment, she flat out replied “Hell no,” adding that she’s unsure how she’s going to pay off her debt.

“I have no idea. I’m just going to do what I do and work and whatever money that I get, I guess she’s entitled to some of it. But I owe a lot of people. She’s got to stand in line,” Brat said.

We’re not sure how Brat is going to be able to pay the woman either, but hopefully she finds a way. Check out graphic photos of the Stevens’ injuries after the cut. – nicholas robinson
