$10 Million Lawsuit Against Kodak Black Over After-Party Shooting During Super Bowl Weekend Has Been Dropped
The $10 million lawsuit against Kodak Black over after-party shooting during Super Bowl weekend has been dropped, and this time, it’s final. According to reports, the case cannot be refiled. That means Kodak is officially clear in this legal battle stemming from the chaotic night outside The Nice Guy in Los Angeles.
Back in 2022, during Super Bowl LVI weekend, what was supposed to be a star-studded celebration turned into headlines for all the wrong reasons. And now, after years of back-and-forth, the lawsuit has come to an end.
What Happened During the Super Bowl LVI Weekend After-Party Shooting?
Let’s rewind. The incident happened on February 12, 2022, outside The Nice Guy restaurant in Los Angeles. The event was hosted by Justin Bieber during Super Bowl LVI weekend. Celebrities pulled up. Cameras flashed. The vibes were high. However, things shifted quickly.
A shooting broke out outside the venue. Kodak Black reportedly took a bullet to the leg during the chaos. Two bystanders, Mark Schaefer and Adam Rahman, were also allegedly shot during the incident. The scene turned frantic fast. Police responded, and videos from the night spread across social media within minutes.
According to reports, Schaefer and Rahman later filed a $10 million lawsuit against Kodak Black. They claimed he escalated the situation, which they say eventually led to someone else firing a weapon. That claim formed the foundation of their lawsuit.
Originally, Justin Bieber was also named as a defendant in the complaint. However, he was dismissed from the suit months after it was filed. That left Kodak as the primary focus of the legal action.
While many questioned how the case would unfold, others argued that placing blame in chaotic public incidents is rarely simple. Legal experts often explain that proving liability in third-party criminal acts requires clear evidence.
Still, the lawsuit moved forward for a period of time. And throughout it all, Kodak maintained his stance.
