Rubi Rose has been hit with a civil suit from a Los Angeles-based artist who claims that the raunchy rapper damaged some expensive pieces of artwork while filming her “Twork” video.
Court documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop reveal that Argentina-born Analia Saban is suing Rose, her videographers, and her label for the damage. Saban claimed that Rose turned on a high-pressure fire hose during her video shoot, and the spraying water caused irreparable damage to the sculptures.

Saban is also suing the Hollywood Fire Authority for failing to properly train everyone in the proper way to use such a dangerous piece of equipment.
Finally, Saban claimed that a behind-the-scenes video shows exactly where the fire hose damaged everything, which you can check out below.
Saban is suing Rubi Rose and her crew for more than $300,000. For what it’s worth, Saban’s artwork usually retails for about $3500 and up, according to her website.
Rubi Rose may be better known for her ability to get people talking than for her lyrical prowess, she also seems to relish in the attention the controversy brings her. Back in August, she found herself in a crossfire of controversy when she proclaimed that non-Black people can say the N-word without reprisal.

The Atlanta rapper appeared on Adrian Ross’ Twitch channel, where she mistook the popular streamer as a light-skinned Black man. When Ross clarified he was white, he then began to ask Rose if that meant he could use the n-word.
“I’m personally OK with anybody saying it, as long at their intent isn’t to be rude,” Rubi said alongside several others Black men in the group stream. “Because I’m sure, Adin, you love Black people. You have a lot of Black people on your channel, you love Black music, probably.”
She continued: “So, as long as the person isn’t saying it with malicious intent, personally, ’cause I have like Mexican homegirls and white homegirls who be saying it, I don’t care about other people. We’re friends and they are cool with it.”
Rubi Rose’s comments drew ire from the internet, with many people taking to Twitter to adamantly disagree with her.

Another added: “Rubi rose pretty but got 2 teaspoons of brain just floating in her head cause girl what.”
