Lexa and MC Guimê may be subject to judicial sanctions

The legal dispute involving Lexa and MC Guimê has had new developments in recent days, after the São Paulo Court ordered a detailed investigation into the artists' income. The measure aims to assess the possibility of seizing assets in order to ensure payment of a million-dollar debt related to the purchase of a property in Alphaville, in Greater São Paulo.

The lawsuit originated in 2016, when MC Guimê purchased a mansion worth R$2.2 million. According to the lawsuit filed by the former owner, part of the amount, approximately R$777 thousand, was not paid. With interest, corrections and court orders for use of the property and material damages, the debt already exceeds R$3 million.

By court order, entities such as ECAD, ABRAMUS, AMAR, UBC, SBACEM, SOCINPRO, SICAM and the record label Som Livre were called upon to provide information on possible income, contracts and copyrights linked to the two artists.

Lexa, who was included in the lawsuit because she was married to Guimê under the universal community property regime, says she sought an agreement to resolve the issue. "I've tried to reach an agreement, I've tried to divide it up to pay and get rid of this, but I've never been able to reach a consensus," the singer wrote on social media on Monday (July 7).

According to her legal team, Lexa presented concrete proposals to pay off the debt, but the plaintiff did not agree. "Lexa maintains her artistic performance with ethics and transparency, trusting the Judiciary and reserving her right to defense in legal proceedings," the singer's press office stated in an official statement.

The legal dispute is still ongoing. Judge Bruno Paes Straforini of the Court of Justice of São Paulo had previously ruled that Lexa would be jointly liable for payment, even though she claimed that the debt was incurred before the marriage. "Each spouse still has liability to the creditors of the other," the court ruling cited in the case stated.

In fact, the former owner of the residence, massage therapist Márcia Pessoa, is also requesting additional compensation of R$5.1 million for structural damage to the property, including an unmaintained pool and internal graffiti. Lexa's defense claims that the changes in the amounts requested made it difficult to reach a definitive agreement.

For now, the courts are only continuing with investigations to collect financial data from those involved, without having yet authorized any freezes or seizures. New decisions are expected in the coming months.
