AceShowbiz - DaBaby's lawyer has reacted to a lawsuit filed by DaniLeigh's brother against the rapper. He accused Brandon Bills of trying to make easy money by suing the "SUGE" rapper over their recent fight.
When speaking to TMZ, Drew Findling claimed that it was Brandon who first threatened DaBaby. "It is offensive that this alleged victim threatened and instigated violence and has now used this incident to make a quick money grab," the attorney, who previously represented Gucci Mane and Offset, said.
Drew addressed the matter further in a statement to Complex. He said, "There is absolutely no question that any investigation regarding the February 10, 2022 Los Angeles Bowling Alley incident should immediately end upon the recent filing of a civil lawsuit against Jonathan Kirk."
"Any experienced investigator or prosecutor who looks at this situation, where the alleged victim has, for months, taken to social media and other outlets threatening and challenging Mr. Kirk to physical violence and now has immediately filed a lawsuit, would see that any criminal charges would be impossible to sustain," he added. "It is offensive that this alleged victim threatened and instigated violence and has now used this incident to make a quick money grab."
"The criminal justice system has a current massive buildup of cases due to the pandemic," the attorney continued elaborating. "Garbage like this has no place adding to the backlog and wasting law enforcement time and energy."
Brandon is suing DaBaby for assault, battery, emotional distress and negligence. He claimed that he was walking by the "ROCKSTAR" emcee in the bowling alley of Tarzana's Corbin Bowl when the rapper suddenly attacked him.
Brandon stated that he didn't fight back. He additionally claimed that he suffered severe injury and pain and that the assault resulted in physical and psychological damage, plus medical bills and sustained disability.
Footage from the altercation showed DaBaby seemingly initiating the fight, throwing the first punch which caused Brandon to fall onto the slippery lanes. DaBaby's team then jumped him. One man was seen grabbing Brandon by his hair and body slamming him.
Sharing his side of the story, DaBaby told TMZ that he acted in "self defense" because he was threatened at that time. "Self defense. Shouldn't run around threatening people," he said on Friday night.
