Tyga is locked in yet another financial battle.

The 27-year-old Rack City rapper, according to TMZ, has been accused of setting up ancillary companies to avoid settling a $2 million-plus judgment that a former associate named Chuon Guen Lee was granted in connection with a business dispute over their T-shirt company, Last Kings.

Lee said in court docs filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court that she hasn't received any money from the rapper, whose real name is Micheal Ray Stevenson, in the wake of the judgment.

Lee told the court that Tyga has created a number of businesses to funnel the funds from the clothing business into other operations - and keep them out of her pockets.

She said that the musical artist, well known for his former relationship with reality star Kylie Jenner, continues making money to the tune of $450,000 monthly, but refuses to settle the judgment, the outlet reported.

The lawsuit was initially filed in 2015, TMZ reported, after Lee claimed that she and Tyga originally began Last Kings in January of 2013. The rapper pledged to his one-time business partner that he would use his celebrity in advertising the line, as well as use his contacts to sell it at the clothing retailer Tilly's.

Things went sour, however when Tyga, who has past been plagued with financial issues, took in excess of $500,000 in clothes and began a separate organization called Egypt Kings, Lee told the court, according to the outlet.

After Lee sued him for $1.6 million and damages, reps for the entertainer told the outlet that her accusations weren't true and that she was trying 'to cash in on Tyga's success.'
