Judge Dismisses $4 Billion Lawsuit Against Drake Filed By Woman Who Broke Into His Home Years Ago
Drake takes another win. The rapper scored a legal victory against a woman who allegedly broke into his home in 2017.
As it was previously reported, the woman in question, Mesha Collins, was arrested and charged with breaking into the rapper’s Los Angeles home back in April 2017. She was later released from jail on $100,000 bail. Despite intruding, Drake ultimately decided not to press charges because he felt she was struggling with personal issues, according to reports.
However, in August 2021, she sued the “Laugh Now Cry Later” artist for $4 billion, claiming that he defamed her and invaded her privacy by sharing private information on social media. Now, just last month, Drake’s legal team denied those allegations and even called the lawsuit a “frivolous case” based on “delusional figments of her imagination.” According to Billboard, Drake no longer has to worry about this case as a Los Angeles Superior Court agreed and dismissed the defamation case permanently because nothing Drake posted could be remotely linked to Collins.
“Plaintiff Collins has not demonstrated any of defendant [Drake’s] statements were about plaintiff Collins or that he used her identity, name, or likeness in his Instagram posts or endorsements,” Judge Virginia Keeny wrote. “Even if plaintiff Collins could establish the statements were about her, she has failed to establish that such statements were of a private fact that is offensive and objectionable to the reasonable person.”
