Kodak Black and Justin Bieber are being sued following a shooting at Justin’s L.A. afterparty during Super Bowl weekend last year. Moreover, two men who claimed to have been struck by bullets during the altercation are suing the artists and a few other entities. For example, the venue, the Hwood Group and Revolve Group, the City of L.A., the City of West Hollywood, and L.A. County are also being sued for damages. Furthermore, the alleged victims’ representative is Gloria Allred, and Kodak’s legal team dismissed the suit’s validity.
“I have seen a lot of bad complaints in my day,” Yak’s attorney Bradford Cohen told TMZ. “This is the most poorly drafted complaint I have seen in 26 years. I expect Kodak to be dismissed from this suit fairly quickly. There is zero specificity in the complaint and Ms. Allred groups the defendants all together instead of making specific allegations against each. It’s law school 101. I am embarrassed for Ms. Allred that she actually signed her name to that complaint.”
The Shooting
Moreover, according to the lawsuit, Mark Schaefer and Adam Rahman suffered severe injuries from the 2022 shooting. Said incident occurred at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles, which is why the suit named all those entities. In fact, Kodak himself also suffered bullet wounds that night, though fortunately he recovered. According to the Florida rapper’s crew, he helped a friend fight off an unknown assailant as they left the venue. Later, the rapper threw himself into the fight, shots broke out shortly after, and people dispersed. However, in the legal documents, the alleged victims claimed that the “Super Gremlin” star actually instigated the incident. They believe he tried to harm others and blame him for causing the shooting.
Meanwhile, Schaefer and Rahman also stated that security at the venue was lax. For that reason, they likely attribute some of the blame to the Canadian singer, as it was his afterparty. Still, they complained of inept security guards and a lack of accountability when it came to promoters and the venue. Even though this suit might be dismissed, it might just spark a wider conversation on these topics. Regardless, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story and whatever happens this Super Bowl weekend.
