Drake is one of those celebrities who seems to be showing up in our timelines every day. Recently, he’s been partying with the Toronto Raptors, since they clinched their first championship title. However, Drake’s time for celebrating may be coming to a halt very soon…if one accuser has her way.
Guess Who’s Back?
All right y’all, there’s a lot going on here, so let’s unpack it together. In 2017, Instagram model, Layla Lace (born Laquana Morris), alleged that Drake impregnated her after they hooked up, following his concert in Manchester, UK. She also claimed that when she attempted to reach out to him, after telling him she was expecting, Drake stopped all communication with her.
After hiring a lawyer, Lace then alleged that during their one-night stand, Drake had instead raped her. Drake countered her ‘suit with one of his own- suing Lace for civil extortion, fraud, emotional distress, abuse of process and defamation. He admitted the two of them had unprotected sex, but it was consensual. He also furnished text messages that painted Lace as an obsessed fan.
Things further fell apart when Lace refused to submit to a paternity test. Eventually, it was allegedly discovered that Lace wasn’t even pregnant! Once the smoke had cleared around the entire situation, both Drake and Lace settled their lawsuits privately. At the time, Drake’s lawyer told TMZ (via Rolling Stone):
“The filing made by Drake against Layla Lace has been resolved, with Layla avoiding going to trial by agreeing to a stipulated judgment which prohibits her from repeating past statements she made against Drake.”
The tale doesn’t end here. Lace is back once again, with a new claim about the night in Manchester. And she goes all the way in with the freaky details.
