AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber and Kodak Black are facing serious legal trouble. The musicians are being dragged to court over a shooting that occurred following the pop star's concert after-party during last year's Super Bowl weekend.
TMZ reported on Friday, February 10 that two alleged victims named Mark Schaefer and Adam Rahman have filed the paperwork and blamed the musicians as well as the venue, The Nice Guy in West Hollywood. According to the docs, Mark and Adam claimed that they were shot and severely injured in the February 2022 shooting.
The alleged victims also claimed that Kodak was a major catalyst in the shooting. They further stated that the "ZEZE" spitter was trying to cause harm and escalate the situation and they're laying the blame for the shooting squarely on his shoulders.
Mark and Adam later blamed security at the venue. They alleged that the security guards who were hired couldn't handle the job and the venue, promoters and performers, therefore, bear some responsibility as well.
The alleged victims are going after Kodak, Justin, The Nice Guy, The Hwood Group and Revolve Group, plus the City of Los Angeles, the City of West Hollywood and Los Angeles County for damages. They're being represented by Gloria Allred.
Upon learning of the claims, Kodak's attorney, Bradford Cohen, told TMZ, "I have seen a lot of bad complaints in my day. This is the most poorly drafted complaint I have seen in 26 years. I expect Kodak to be dismissed from this suit fairly quickly."
"There is zero specificity in the complaint and Ms. Allred groups the defendants all together instead of making specific allegations against each," Bradford added. "It's law school 101. I am embarrassed for Ms. Allred that she actually signed her name to that complaint."
In the meantime, neither Justin nor his representative has yet to respond to the claims.
