DaBaby Fights to Dismiss Ex DaniLeigh’s Brother’s $4M Lawsuit Over Bowling Alley Brawl.

Rapper DaBaby is pushing back against a $4 million lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend DaniLeigh’s brother, Brandon Bills, over an alleged 2022 bowling alley beatdown. Recent court documents reveal DaBaby's request for a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to dismiss the case.

Inside the Lawsuit: What Happened?

Brandon Bills originally filed the lawsuit in 2022, accusing DaBaby and others of attacking him at a Southern California bowling alley.

Video footage of the incident shows the fight escalating on the slippery bowling lanes just months after DaBaby’s highly publicized breakup with DaniLeigh.

Brandon claims he was assaulted without provocation and is now demanding over $4 million in damages for physical injuries, emotional distress, and medical expenses. However, despite an initial police investigation, Brandon reportedly refused to cooperate with authorities, and no criminal charges were filed.

DaBaby’s Defense: Claims of Self-Defense & Legal Loopholes

DaBaby has denied any wrongdoing, stating his actions were in self-defense. His legal team is now arguing that the lawsuit should be thrown out on procedural grounds, citing Brandon’s failure to properly serve him with legal papers.

According to court filings:

  • Brandon never successfully served DaBaby with the lawsuit.
  • The judge had approved a newspaper publication to notify DaBaby, but Brandon failed to follow through.
  • More than three years have passed since the lawsuit was filed, surpassing the legal timeframe for service.

DaBaby’s lawyer stated:

“Brandon [Bills] commenced this baseless lawsuit on February 16, 2022. More than three years have passed, and Plaintiff has failed to serve [DaBaby].”

The rapper’s legal team also argued:

“[Brandon] has not made one attempt at serving by publication. This is appalling, considering this Court issued an Order for Publication on April 10, 2024.”

Will the Judge Dismiss the Case?

DaBaby’s legal team insists the case should be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. They argue Brandon has no real intention to pursue the case and is simply wasting court resources.

The judge has yet to make a final ruling.

DaBaby’s Legal History: A Pattern of Court Battles?

This lawsuit is just one of several legal issues DaBaby has faced in recent years. In July 2024, he avoided jail time after taking a plea deal in a separate assault case involving a man named Gary Pagar. The rapper was sentenced to one year of probation.

As the court decides the fate of Brandon Bills’ $4 million lawsuit, all eyes remain on DaBaby and his ongoing legal battles. Stay tuned for updates.
