Big Baller Brand has been in headlines for all the wrong reasons recently. First, LaVar Ball stirred up all kinds of drama with NBA coaches. Then, we find out the brand received an F rating from the Better Business Bureau.

It couldn’t get any worse, right? Well, think again.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the brand is being sued by apparel company Closet Collection over a breach of contract. Big Baller Brand allegedly owes Closet Collection nearly $25,000 for hats, t-shirts and other general apparel items listed on Big Baller Brand’s website.
“When it came time to make payments, they kind of bailed,” a Closet Collection representative told The Times on Monday on the condition his name not be used because of the ongoing legal proceedings. “We tried for about three months. They said they would make payment about seven times. They just kept pushing it back and kept pushing it back.”
Aside from its expensive shoes, Big Baller Brand also sells hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and shorts on their website. The apparel ranges anywhere between $25 to $100 depending on the item.
This made a bad day worse for Big Baller Brand
It’s worth noting that nothing has been proven as of yet. We don’t know the specifics of the agreement Big Baller Brand has with Closet Collection and we don’t know how this civil suit will end up. But it’s not a great look to be involved in one of these — especially not on the same day it’s revealed that the brand has an ‘F’ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
At the end of the day, this is a start-up and all start-ups have to go through their bumps and bruises before they flourish, but this isn’t a normal bump in the road. These are very serious allegations against any company — let alone a fledgling one like Big Baller Brand.
We’ll see how things turn out down the road. Hopefully, things don’t get too ugly.
