The attorney for the Lamborghini rental company involved in Rashee Rice’s 2024 crash is accusing the Kansas City Chiefs receiver of filing for bankruptcy to avoid paying the company.
Does Rice Have Any Money Left?
Kyle Coker, who represents The Classic Lifestyle, the company that rented Rice the Lamborghini Urus involved in the crash, blasted the NFL player after he filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, claiming more than $3.45 million in debt against about $677,000 in assets.
“I think the only reason Rashee Rice filed for bankruptcy was to avoid the impending jury trial related to injuring others during his drag-racing escapades,” Coker told TMZ.
The dispute centers around a March 2024 crash in Dallas when Rice was driving a leased Lamborghini while allegedly racing another vehicle. The incident caused a six-car pileup that left several people injured. Rice later pleaded guilty to felony racing on a highway and felony collision causing serious bodily injury.
Rice received five years of deferred probation and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. As part of his plea agreement, he was also ordered to reimburse the victims of the crash approximately $115,000 for their medical expenses.
In May, Rice was ordered to report to jail after testing positive for marijuana in violation of his probation. He served 30 days.
In 2025, Rice reached a $1 million settlement plus legal fees with one of the injured, Kathryn Kuykendall, a passenger in an Uber struck during the collision. Her attorney later said Rice failed to make the initial payment.
According to Rice’s bankruptcy filing, Kuykendall was still owed $979,837, making her his largest listed creditor. The filing also referenced additional disputed claims from other crash victims, including approximately $700,000 in pending civil litigation.
According to Coker, Rice, 26, has yet to pay The Classic Lifestyle for the Lamborghini, despite the company claiming it was left without insurance coverage for the crash. Rice has reportedly already spent more than $2.1 million dealing with other civil lawsuits connected to the accident.
Coker said he plans to appear in bankruptcy court on behalf of The Classic Lifestyle and ask the judge to dismiss Rice’s bankruptcy filing and impose sanctions.
Rice’s financial troubles come as he enters the final year of his four-year, $6.5 million rookie contract with the Chiefs. Kansas City selected the wide receiver in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and he is scheduled to earn a base salary of $1,635,711 this year.
During his rookie postseason run, Rice recorded 26 receptions for 262 yards, helping the Chiefs advance to Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024 against the San Francisco 49ers. In the championship game, he caught six passes for 39 yards as Kansas City defeated San Francisco 25-22 in overtime. The victory gave Rice a Super Bowl championship in his first NFL season.
Rice’s 2025 season got off to a delayed start after the NFL suspended him for the first six games without pay for his role in the 2024 car crash. The following season, a hamstring injury forced him to miss additional games.
He will become eligible for free agency in 2027.
