Report: Vincent Herbert’s Financial Woes Continue With Two Different Lawsuits

Vincent Herbert, Tamar Braxton‘s estranged husband, reportedly is facing two lawsuits related to failing to pay rent on a condominium and for allegedly writing bad checks.

According to reports, NK Real Estate Investments claims in court filings that Herbert’s rent on a Los Angeles condo was $37,000 a month. The lease began in December 2018, and the company claims Herbert never paid February’s rent.

The report goes on to state that last month the 46-year-old was given three days by the company to either pay the owed amount or vacate the premises, and he took the latter option because the property is now back on the market. The case is still open, however, and NK Real Estate has sued Herbert for $38,850, plus other costs.

The fancy condo is described as having three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a 75-foot pool, a gym, yoga and Pilates studio, a library, conference room, screening area, a children’s play room and a wine storage. The home is 3,430 square feet in all and is located in a luxury building.

The report further describes a second suit Herbert is facing, from a woman named Dakota Sal who claims the New Jersey native bounced two checks to her for a total of $10,000, and that account has since been closed.

The two suits are the latest news surrounding Herbert’s financial woes, because in August 2018 LDNX Records said he owes them $380,000 from a bad business deal, and his clients Remy Ma as well as Lady Gaga were subpoenaed to hand in financial documents so the company could determine how much in royalties Herbert was due, see those funds paid to him and in turn collect from Herbert.

And in February of that year, a Rolls-Royce that Herbert leased in Florida was repossessed after he fell behind in payments.

As far as Herbert himself, he’s been keeping a low profile since his split with Braxton, even on social media. In fact, the last time he posted anything to his Instagram page was on July 30, 2018.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
