Drake Settles Rape Allegation Lawsuit Against Instagram Godel
by Staff Editor
Drake and Layla Lace, the woman who accused the rapper of rape, have settled their ongoing legal battle.
Last year was when Layla claimed during a SiriusXM interview that she was raped after having a one-night stand with Drake. Because of her claims, Drizzy sued for civil extortion, emotional distress, defamation, and fraud. The Instagram model also claimed she was pregnant with Drake’s baby.
“I know who I sleep with unprotected, period,” she told SiriusXM’s Shade54 station in 2017. “It’s one hundred per cent [for] sure [Drake’s child], he knows it.”
The two reportedly met backstage in Manchester stop buring Drake’s Boy Meets World tour last February. After the alleged rape, Layla’s lawyer demanded cash or else they’d go public with the claims of sexual assault, according to TMZ.
Moving forward, Layla has agreed not to make any further “statements alleging or insinuating that Drake assaulted her.” Layla also agreed not to republish an Instagram post that claims she was pregnant.
In a statement to TMZ, Drake’s lawyer Larry Stein said: “The submitting made by Drake towards Layla Lace has been resolved, with Layla avoiding going to trial by agreeing to a stipulated judgment which prohibits her from repeating previous statements she made towards Drake. Drake and his staff are glad about this end result and whereas Drake appreciates the help he has acquired, he asks that his followers and the media permit each event to maneuver on with their lives.”
