Overview

  • JPMorgan Chase filed its complaint on July 31, alleging Hammer owes $76,732.79 on a $114,376.90 loan for a 2023 Land Rover Defender purchased from a Livermore dealership.
  • Court records show he agreed to 60 monthly payments of $2,433.97 starting in May 2023, halted regular payments in May 2024 and made his most recent installment on July 14, 2025.
  • The lawsuit names both Stanley Kirk Burrell (MC Hammer) and his U Can’t Touch This LLC at a Tracy, California, address and claims neither party has returned the vehicle despite the bank’s demand.
  • This action highlights a pattern of financial struggles for the rapper, who filed for bankruptcy in 1996 after accruing roughly $13 million in debt and downsized from a Fremont Hills mansion to a modest home in Tracy.
