Canadian rapper, Drake has filed a lawsuit against a woman
who claimed he got her pregnant, including making false rape allegations
against him to extort money from him.
According to a TMZ report, Drake is suing a woman who allegedly
claims he got her pregnant in 2017, saying she planned the baby scam and
made false rape allegations against him as well.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Drake claims he met Layla Lace last
year during his Boy Meets World Tour in Manchester, England. He says
after one of his concerts in February 2017, they hooked up at his hotel
where he says they had consensual sex and “Layla also voluntarily and
seemingly happily performed oral sex.”
The suit goes on to allege in May 2017, Layla hired a lawyer and
demanded money for her alleged baby and threatened him with defamation
because TMZ posted a story saying Drake had never even met her.
The suit claims Layla refused to take a paternity test and Layla and
her lawyer went radio silent. Drake says the whole thing was a scam …
“There is no credible evidence of pregnancy, nor any baby, which would
have been born last Fall.”
According to the lawsuit, Layla switched tactics and went to
authorities in New York and alleged Drake had raped her during their
one-night stand. Drake says at that point Layla hired a new lawyer who
demanded money or else they would make the rape complaint public.
The Manchester police reportedly interviewed and cleared Drake of sexual assault accusations when the case was referred to them.
But, according to Drake, he claimed in the suit that Layla demanded
millions of dollars in exchange for silence. The rapper is now suing her
for civil extortion, emotional distress, fraud, defamation, and abuse
of process.
