Live Nation is raising the curtain on how it plans to fight a trio of lawsuits stemming from the backstage stabbing death of rapper Drakeo The Ruler at the Once Upon A Time in L.A. festival in downtown Los Angeles last December. The three lawsuits were filed separately by Drakeo’s son, mother and brother. In a filing made public Tuesday, Live Nation asked a Los Angeles judge to dismiss the negligence and premises liability lawsuit brought by Drakeo’s brother Devante Caldwell and several members of the brothers’ Stinc Team rap collective who were with the rapper at the time of the deadly attack. The demurrer, obtained by Rolling Stone , argues the complaint fails to state sufficient grounds to proceed. According to Live Nation, it can’t be held responsible for the “violent mob” of 50 to 100 people who “produced knives and stabbed Drakeo” because state law dictates the horrifying ambush was “unforeseeable” considering no “prior similar incidents” at the venue had been … [Read more...] about Live Nation Claims ‘No Liability’ in Drakeo The Ruler Stabbing Death, Wants Lawsuit Dismissed
