A Wayne County Circuit judge signed off on the warrant this week. It was sought by the lawyer for a company that says Baker owes $15,000 for work done on her Michigan home.
Anita Baker’s lawyer, Jamal Hamood, says he plans to file a motion to cancel the warrant. Hamood says Baker wasn’t served with papers and didn’t know she had been sued in 2011 by Ray A. Smith Painting & Decorating. He says Baker is out of town and will remain so until the warrant issue is cleared up.
The company’s lawyer, Daniel Gerow says he doesn’t want Baker to go to jail, but only wants to see his client get paid.
Anita Baker was watching television on Thursday when she learned a warrant had been issued for her arrest by authorities in Detroit. And tweeted below:
Baker rose to fame in 1986 with the release of her platinum-selling second album Rapture.
The album included her Grammy-winning single Sweet Love.
Baker has won eight Grammy Awards and has five platinum albums and one gold album.
