DaBaby Requests Postponement In Civil Trial For Alleged Assault
DaBaby has requested that a Los Angeles judge postpone his upcoming civil trial regarding a 2020 assault. The lawsuit comes from a man who says DaBaby assaulted him for enforcing “basic rental rules” at his North Carolina property. The rapper had been leasing the property at the time. He is also facing criminal charges for the incident.
A hearing in the case had been scheduled for April, but DaBaby’s lawyers argue the court must give the criminal case surrounding the same incident precedent. According to legal documents obtained by RadarOnline, DaBaby’s attorneys say he “cannot be called to testify in this matter until after his criminal case has been resolved, which will not be until October 2023, at minimum.”
The attorneys added that if the judge doesn’t postpone the trial, “[DaBaby] will not be able to respond to discovery or testify without providing information that could potentially incriminate him in the parallel criminal case.” They added that postponing the trial will “protect [DaBaby’s] Fifth Amendment rights.”
As for the alleged assault, Gary Pagar claims it went down as he checked in on his rental property. At the time, he discovered 40 people and a film crew recording a video for DaBaby. He attempted to speak with the rapper to request he stop filming. It was at this point that DaBaby allegedly assaulted Pagar. He claims the group stole “valuable kitchenware,” while leaving behind thousands of dollars in damages. They also never paid the full lease. Further court proceedings regarding the case will continue on October 23.
DaBaby’s latest legal trouble comes after a jury found in favor of the rapper in another alleged assault. A concert promoter named Kenneth Carey claimed DaBaby beat and robbed him. He also accused him of backing out of a deal to host one of his events. Additionally, DaBaby successfully countersued him for invasion of privacy and unauthorized use of name or likeness. The trial took place back in December over the course of five days.

Prince From “L&HH” Claims Tory Lanez “Threatened” Him Into Alleged Assault Settlement
Even from his new home behind bars, Tory Lanez is still in the middle of legal drama. The latest past enemy to speak out about the “Say It” hitmaker is Love & Hip-Hop star Prince. The two previously got into an alleged altercation with at a club last year.
On Thursday (January 26), RadarOnline shared a report claiming that the reality star has asked the court to throw out a settlement he signed last summer. According to Prince, one of the father of one’s associates joined them when they met in Miami. At the time, he was obviously carrying a gun with him.
As HipHopDX notes, Lanez’s lawyer, Kadisha Phelps, spoke to the court. He said that a deal between his client and the apparent victim was complete. “[I have] information to believe that a settlement has already been reached between the parties and [Lanez] has tendered funds to [Prince] in the consummation of their agreement,” he said at the time.
However, the Jamaican-American model said that last June, the 30-year-old called him to arrange a meeting. When they finally came face-to-face, though, the circumstances were nothing short of hostile. “[Lanez] presented me with a document that he drafted himself and ordered that I sign the agreement,” Prince recalled.
“He told me not to contact my lawyer when I told him I needed my lawyer to review the agreement. This individual is the same individual who was ordered by [Lanez] to attack me at the Vendome nightclub and he did so. I cannot share his identity at this time as this individual threatened me that if I mention his name I would be severely injured or even killed. This individual was in possession of a firearm which was visible at the meeting.”
Oh Lawwwd… Prince Claims Tory Lanez and an ARMED Associate Forced Him To Settle His Lawsuit Alleging Lanez Assaulted Him In 2019 and 2020.
I Hope This Does Not Get Back To The L.A. Judge Before Tory’s Sentencing…

Elsewhere in his recount, Prince claims that both his apparent attacker and the gun-toting man “aggressively ordered [him] to sign the agreement.” He did so, fearing for his own safety if he failed to agree to the terms.
“I would have never signed the agreement otherwise,” the L&HH cast member admits. “The amount of money that they made me accept was only a fraction of the damages I have suffered in this lawsuit as a result of their repeated attacks.”
In other Tory Lanez news, the rapper became a hot topic on the latest episode of Caresha Please. During her interview, Trina got real with host Yung Miami about her alleged romantic past with the Canadian. She denied that they dated but admitted that he did have a crush on her.

Conor McGregor is someone who has been accused of assault on multiple occasions. Each time this has happened, McGregor has adamantly denied any wrongdoing. However, there have been times when his actions were caught on camera. One such instance was when he struck an old man in a bar.

R. Kelly Survivor Says He Assaulted Her After Discovering His Aaliyah Sex Tape
Damning accusations and anecdotes concerning R. Kelly’s history of abuse still shook audiences years after its initial revelation. Moreover, many of these came as part of Surviving R. Kelly, a docuseries by Dream Hampton and journalist Jim DeRogatis. Surviving R. Kelly: The Final Chapter is the final four-part segment of this documentary. Also, it airs for two consecutive nights on January 2nd and 3rd and contains more pained testimonies from victims. One of the most worrisome stories detailed how R. Kelly assaulted a survivor after she discovered his Aaliyah sex tape.
Survivor Ebonié Doyle shared her experiences with DeRogatis in November of 2021, and her story is in The Final Chapter. In it, she talks about how she first became acquainted with the R&B singer and how his mistreatment developed.
“I was 16 years old when I met Rob in 1993. My friends and I went to a show, and he was there with other artists, and I just remember his voice was just amazing,” she remarked. “After the show, my girlfriend and I were waiting outside, we were ready to go to our cars, and a limousine pulls up.”
Then, she said, Kelly invited them to his hotel room, and went on to be involved in Doyle’s personal life. She said he would have his tour bus wait outside of her high school for her, and even went to her graduation. After her mother kicked her out of the house for seeing him, Doyle moved in with the 55-year-old.
While with Kelly, she stated, she found that he was “really controlling … certain things sexually he liked his way.” The star made her arch her back for “literally hours” so it would be to his liking. Also, she confessed that R. Kelly denied claims that he had a relationship with an underage Aaliyah, which took a darker turn.
“I see this basket full of tapes, and I’m like, ‘Well, maybe I’ll just grab one of these tapes, and let me go in the other rooms and see if there’s a VHS so I can watch a movie,’ because I was bored,” she expressed. “That’s when I discovered that he’d been lying to me about Aaliyah.
“The tape that I put in was of him and Aaliyah together,” she continued. “What I saw on that tape was he and Aaliyah being intimate. They were on the tour bus, and everything that I had asked him was confirmed on the tape.”
When Kelly returned home, an argument over the tape ensued, during which he pushed Doyle down the stairs, leaving her in shock.
“That shake sent me down flights of stairs, and I just laid there. I just froze. That was the moment where I realized [how] to pick and choose my battles.
“Like, I loved him … I love [Kelly],” she went on. “He’s still important to me. And so, he’s not some horrible man to me. And I don’t want people to think that,” Doyle tells her pal. “I just wish that he would get the help he needs. Like, he’s not a bad person, he just does bad things. Does that make [sense]?”
