LaMelo Ball's Manager in Rent Dispute with Cam Newton

On April 28, Lamello Ball's long-time manager, Jermaine Jackson, is in hot water over more than $164,700 in background.

A company partly owned by ex-panther star Cam Newton wants to evict him from a swanky 3,000-square-foot apartment in Charlotte.

That spot, off South Trian Street, above Chinemostate House, runs $13,500 a month now.

Jackson's been handling Ball since high school days, and when the Hornets Point Guard landed in Charlotte, they became neighbors and units once owned by Newton.

Everyone kept things rolling on verbal deals after the original lease ended in 2021, even after Ball bought his place last year.

In a packed four-hour small claims hearing last Friday, lawyers hashed out messy timelines with Ball, Jackson, and the Newton's involved.

Agape's side said they bent over backward with patience, but payments dried up.

Jackson's team fires back that claims are bogus. He's not even the last lease signer, and the apartment needed major fixes for mold and repairs.

North Carolina law backs tenants on habitability, and Jackson insists, Ball's got zero ties to this drama.

The magistrate should drop a ruling any day now, with a bigger civil suit over the rent still waiting in Superior Court.

Keep an eye on how this shakes out for Ball's camp.
