On May 4, 2023, rapper The Kid Laroi made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Australian hitmaker, who is best known for his hit collab “Stay” with Justin Bieber, is accused of leaving his waiter empty-handed after dining and dashing at a Missouri restaurant. According to TMZ, Laroi left his server with a hefty bill at Dublin’s Pass Irish Pub & Restaurant, totaling $133.58. The rapper allegedly promised the server that he and his pals weren’t leaving, but soon after they finished eating, the group reportedly bolted from the place without paying the bill or leaving any tips for the server.
Despite several attempts at contacting the rapper’s entourage and management, the restaurant manager, Autumn Gray, says she has still had no luck. Page Six has reached out to Laroi’s reps for comment. This incident may have been an honest mistake by the rapper, but it has certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of the restaurant staff and the public.
Fans of The Kid Laroi may remember his performance at Coachella last month, where he thanked Justin Bieber for hopping on the collab with him in 2021, calling him a special and incredible friend. However, this recent allegation of dining and dashing may overshadow his musical achievements and affect his reputation.
