Now he’ll have to rap about taking the bus.
City marshals have seized cheapskate rapper Ryan Leslie’s pimped-out ride after he failed t🏅o fork over the $1 million reward he promised for the recovery of his lost laptop, sources and court papers state.
The “fully loa൲ded,” mint-condition Cadillac Escalade will go up for auction Monday, and the pr💜oceeds will go to a German man, Armin Augstein, who found the rapper’s lost laptop in a German park in 2010.
Augstein sued in Manhattan federal court after Leslie refused to pay. The rapper claimed the laptop files, and those on an external hard drive🌄, were damaged.
A jury ordered Leslie to pay up last year, but he has so farꦕ coughed up only $5,000, court papers claim.
Leslie’s🧔 performances rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars, court d🌱ocuments say.
Asked by lawyers where t🎀he money goes, the rapper fired back, “Probably in my pockets,” court papers state.
In recent months, his firm, Les is More, earned more tha⛄n $400,000, which he has used to buy himself food, bling and electronics, court document𓂃s and city sources state.
Marshals seized his SUV on Aug. 8. No🐓 other 🉐property was taken.
An ad for the u🔯pcoming auction says the SUV features power steering, power windows, DVD players and third-row seating.
Leslie, known for his songs “Diamond Girl” and “Addiction,” could not be reached for comment at his home i💫n the Financial District.
