Drake is accusing the man suing him over an alleged nightclub assault of deleting key evidence as part of their court battle.
According to court documents obtained by Breaking Celebrity News, Drake’s legal team is asking the court to sanction Bennett Sipes to the tune of $85,582.
Sipes is suing Drake, along with Kourtney Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend Younes Bendjima, over an incident that went down at the Hollywood nightclub Delilah on March 24, 2018.
NFL star Odell Beckham Jr was a defendant but had all claims dismissed against him. In the suit, Sipes says he showed up at the Hollywood nightclub to visit his then-girlfriend, Sommer Ray, who was reportedly in the VIP section with Drake and Odell.
Sipes got into a verbal altercation at the VIP booth. He claims he walked to the bathroom where he got jumped. He originally accused Drake’s bodyguards of playing a role but later recanted that claim.
The God’s Plan rapper denies all allegations he had no part in the assault. Drake said under oath that none of his “employees pushed, man-handled, shoved, kicked, punched, assaulted, or battered Sipes,”
Bendjima says he did get into a physical fight with Sipes but it was all in self-defense. In newly filed documents, Drake says Sipes originally agreed to turn over his iPhone to be inspected.
