Snoop Dogg
Wants Out of Lawsuit Over Drakeo the Ruler’s Death
Published
Snoop Dogg‘s company is asking a judge to throw out the wrongful death lawsuit he’s facing … claiming his company is in no way responsible for the tragedy.
The rapper filed a motion asking for a summary judgment in the case filed by Drakeo the Ruler‘s brother against his company, Snoop Dogg’s LLC … even submitting a declaration claiming his company had no involvement in the 2021 Once Upon a Time in L.A. festival operations and can’t be sued over the death that occurred there.
Snoop says his company never signed a lease or license agreement … and doesn’t hold any ownership or leasehold interest in Exposition Park where the stabbing took place.
Basically, Snoop performed at the festival … but he says that was the extent of his involvement — and he shouldn’t be on the hook in the wrongful death suit.
Snoop also makes it clear no one from his company witnessed or participated in Drakeo’s death … nor did they have any relationship with the assailants who killed Drakeo.
The document goes on like this … Snoop says no one from the company heard or knows anything, didn’t participate in planning the event, didn’t hire security, etc.
Remember … Drakeo’s brother filed a lawsuit in 2022 a few months after the rapper was killed at the festival — claiming the security measures were woefully inadequate.
He cast a wide net with the lawsuit … suing numerous defendants like Live Nation and even LAFC — the Major League Soccer club which plays at BMO Stadium where the stabbing occurred.
Worth noting … LAFC also filed a motion for summary judgment which was granted earlier this month.
