MC Hammer is once again facing financial trouble after allegedly failing to pay off a Land Rover he bought in 2023.
JPMorgan Chase Bank is suing the Oakland-born rapper, claiming he still owes $76,732.79 on a $114,376.90 loan he took out to purchase the vehicle.




According to the complaint, filed on July 31 in San Joaquin County Superior Court, Hammer agreed to 60 monthly payments of $2,433.97 beginning in May 2023. But the “2 Legit 2 Quit” hitmaker, whose real name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, stopped making regular installments in May 2024. He reportedly last paid the bill on July 14.


Though the bank said it has “demanded possession” of the vehicle, the complaint claims the “Defendants have not surrendered” the car.
MC Hammer, as he is legally referred to in the court documents, and U Cant Touch This LLC are listed as defendants.

MC Hammer allegedly owes $76,732.79 for missed car payments dating back to May 2024.

Hammer, who rose to fame in the late 1980s for his catchy hip-hop anthems and signature parachute pants, currently lives in Tracy. A Google Street View image of his property shows six vehicles in the driveway, including a light green Land Rover Defender.


This isn’t the first time that the “U Can’t Touch This” musician has experienced serious financial troubles. Hammer filed for bankruptcy in 1996, less than a decade after reaching the peak of his career, because his luxurious lifestyle sank him into roughly $13 million of debt. He was eventually forced to sell his Fremont mansion to relocate to a three-bedroom home in Tracy.

The Grammy-winning artist has since made strides to reconstruct his public image and has become active in Christian ministry.

He returned to his musical roots with a tour in 2019, his first major North American outing since 1991.

Mc hammer being broke had been a punchline in rap/entertainment for at least 15 years prior to that bar but when Jay Z says it now he felt the need to respond with a wackass diss track :dead:
