In the suit, Barnes claimed that in December 2024, she discovered that Red, 26, had allegedly shared her address and a picture of her home on Facebook.

The “Get It Sexyy” emcee then allegedly asked people to physically assault Barnes, per the suit.

“Sexxy Red and her baby daddy are getting into beefs, for whatever reason, that have nothing to do with my client,” Barnes’ attorney, Steven Weaver, told the outlet Tuesday.

“We did try to informally resolve it, and her attorneys thought it was a joke. And now they’re finding out it’s not,” he added.

Weaver said his client filed a police report at the time of Red’s alleged post and has had to relocate out of her Hazelwood, Mo., for safety reasons.

Barnes claimed in the lawsuit that she has been unable to find a new home at a comparable price. Due to her now living in constant fear, she alleges that she is going to therapy for emotional distress.
