Rihanna and her ex-accountant are BEFFIN’ and the money man is now firing back in their legal battle over $9 million RiRi claims she lost while he was her accountant. He now is calling her a financially impaired moron. Accountant Peter Gounis filed the response to Rihanna’s lawsuit claims he was hired to record and manage her financial accounts. He was NOT hired for watching her shopping sprees. He admits that Rihanna SPENT millions of her own money by going on endless shopping sprees — buying roomfuls of designer shoes, clothes, and jewelry — and throwing extravagant parties for herself. He then adds she bailed on an expensive tour to shoot “Battleship,” which turned out to be a horrible idea. Gounis says, “Was it really necessary to tell her that if you spend money for things you will end up with the things, and not the money?” Gounis wants Rihanna’s lawsuit deaded!

All She Sees Is DOLLAR SIGNS! Rihanna Wins Huge Settlement Against Former Accountant
I can’t even imagine how salty Peter Gounis and the firm Berdon LLP must fell right now. While they’ve taken a major loss, Rihanna is rolling in the dough! Last week, news broke that in 2009, the “S.O.S.” singer went nearly bankrupt due to some BAD financial advice given to her from Gounis, her accountant at the time. Despite her financial burden back then, RiRi was given the go-ahead to purchase a $7 million home in L.A. that left her with a mere $2 million (Oh, the agony of being broke!). The home was in major need of some TLC, which forced the songstress to shell out an additional million. Rihanna had sold the house back for $5 million and well, she went on to fire the accountant and sue for $35 million in 2012 – that’s a stretch! Welp, she can celebrate her 26th birthday real proper after this settlement. Hit the jump to find out how much the the firm settled for.
Wait, What? Rihanna Reveals She Was BANKRUPT in 2009 Because Of WHO?!
Rihanna has been one of the hottest and most popular artists the past few years, so is it possible the Bajan beauty really went bankrupt like she’s claiming? RiRi revealed that in 2009, her accountant made so many poor decisions with her money which resulted in some serious financial problems for the entertainer. Legal documents show that Rih is claiming she had $11 million dollars in cash in 2009 until her accountant made some bad choices, leaving her with $2M left. Of course that’s still much more money than any of us normal folk will probably ever see, but it put Rihanna in the hole because of her many financial responsibilities that she was informed she’d be able to take on. Her accountant apparently told her she would be able to afford a house in the price-range of 7-7 1/2 million dollars, causing her to blow through 9 mil in just living expenses. FYI: Rihanna’s current net-worth is $43 million dollars, so she’s clearly winning despite the set-back. Looks like she got the last laugh!
Gunplay CLEARED Of Armed Robbery Charges; Gunplay Reacts
Despite the fact he was captured beating up his accountant on tape, MMG rapper Gunplay has been cleared of the charges! That “no snitching” thing really worked to his benefit, as the charges were dropped solely because the victim didn’t want to cooperate with the police! “Video alone is not enough to convict an individual of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt,” the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office told TMZ. “Although the armed robbery is captured on the victim’s surveillance system, the victim, Turron Woodside, is uncooperative of the prosecution of this defendant Richard Morales.” Win! Gunplay’s reaction below.

This kind of shows why it’s so easy for rappers to lose money these days. Just like taxes, PAY YOUR BILLS. Compton rapper, T-Raww, is taking “rack city” to another level & racking up that debt. His accountant, Robert Seltzer, (stupidly) offered Tyga his credit card to buy some things such as food, hotel, and transportation while touring – making an oral agreement he would pay him back by the end of the month. Of course, he never paid his accountant back & Seltzer isn’t having it! See the rest of the details after the jump! Biz Baby
