Snoop Dogg's company seeks dismissal from Drakeo death lawsuit
Snoop Dogg's company and a security firm are asking a judge to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Drakeo the Ruler's family.Summary
Snoop Dogg's company and a crowd management firm have filed motions to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Drakeo the Ruler. The lawsuit alleges negligence in security at the 2021 Once Upon A Time in LA festival, where Drakeo was stabbed backstage. Attorneys for Snoop Dogg LLC and Contemporary Services Corp. argue that neither entity had control over the backstage area or a duty to protect the victim. They contend that the areas in question were not owned or controlled by the defendants and that the fatal incident occurred outside the scope of their contractual responsibilities. The defendants include USC, the Los Angeles Football Club, and Bobby Dee Presents Inc., all of whom have previously had their dismissal motions granted. The lawsuit claims the defendants were aware of the potential dangers at hip-hop events based on past violence. Hearings on the dismissal motions are scheduled for September.
