Drake Sued For $250K Over Alleged Nightclub Assault
Back in 2018, a man by the name of Bennett Sipes accused the likes of Drake, Odell Beckham Jr, and Younes Bendjima of having him beat up by security guards outside of the Lady Delilah Nightclub in Los Angeles. As the story goes, Sipes was trying to enter the men’s VIP lounge at the nightclub, where he was then rejected. By his account, Drake and OBJ were the aggressors as they told their security to deal with him. Drake and OBJ even watched the alleged beating took place, according to Sipes. A video of the alleged incident can be found below, courtesy of TMZ.
Drake, OBJ, and Bendjima were reportedly quick to deny any wrongdoing, alleging that Sipes was actually the instigator and that he tried to follow them out of the club. Regardless of these testimonies, Sipes is now officially suing all three men, including the nightclub, for upwards of $250K. In the lawsuit’s documents, Sipes says he wants damages from the men as he allegedly suffered “traumatic brain injury, as well as injuries to his back, neck, shoulders, etc.” He also says this money will be to atone for “past and future pain and suffering, medical bills, lost future earnings, past and future emotional distress, and punitive damages.”

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
