From nbcmiami.com: "Former Miami Hurricanes All-American Bryant McKinnie owes the father of rapping superstar Trick Daddy $375,000 for bills run up at South Florida strip clubs, a new lawsuit says. The rapper's father, Charles (Pop) Young, filed the lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court Monday afternoon. Young says that McKinnie, who is currently an offensive lineman for the NFL's Baltimore Ravens, racked up big bills at the strip clubs between February 2009 and September 2010, borrowing the money from him."
Here's the story from the Miami TV station.
The former Vikings lineman, released last season when he showed up at training camp weighing a bunch more than coach Leslie Frazier wanted, is a big deal in Miami -- owing to his college career at the University of Miami.
McKinnie denied the allegation, essentially saying that Young was trying to shake down a moneymaker. In an interview with the Baltimore Sun, McKinnie said: "I got no papers, I was never served. I just called my lawyer about this because this is a bogus story. I just read the article. He was working at those places and he's tried to borrow money from me. People can put anything out there. What strip club gives you a $375,000 tab?"
Upload doesn't want to know the answer to that last question.
According to the Sun, McKinnie took a $1 million pay cut this season -- from $3.2 million to $2.2 million -- with the chance to get the million back if he plays 50 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps -- a task that made difficult by the fact that he isn't a starter right now. McKinnie already is having some of his salary garnished as settlement in a lawsuit over a $4.5 million loan he took out during the NFL lockout.
Here's the entire Sun story.
