Offset Plays The Ignorant Card In An Attempt To Vacate Judgement Of A 2021 Lawsuit

Offset is insisting that a 2021 lawsuit against him did not follow due process!

The rapper has asked the court to dismiss the strip club assault lawsuit and judgment against him, noting that he was not duly served.

Offset and his estranged wife, Cardi B, were involved in an altercation at a Miami strip club in 2020. Offset reportedly physically attacked the guy who sprayed Cardi B with champagne.

Offset is now seeking to have a six-figure judgment against him overturned, arguing that he was unaware of the lawsuit filed by Leamsy Izquierdo and Humberto Crespo. According to court documents, Offset claims he was not correctly served with the legal papers.

The lawsuit, filed in October 2021, accused him of assaulting the two men at BT's On The River, a strip club in Florida. As a result of the case, Offset was ordered to pay a total of $232,000, which includes $123,000 to Leamsy and $109,000 to Humberto.

In his recent motion to trash the case, Offset dismissed the plaintiffs' assertion that he was served at a crowded nightclub. He noted that the loud music and throngs of fans made it impossible for him or anyone on his behalf to have received the documents. 

Offset also pointed out that he has no ties to Florida, where the lawsuit was filed. In Touch confirmed that a judge has not yet ruled on his request to vacate the default judgment and dismiss the lawsuit.

In January 2020, an incident occurred at the Booby Trap On The River strip club in Miami involving Offset and his then-wife, Cardi B. According to a report, tensions escalated when Cardi was sprayed with champagne by a concertgoer, leading Offset to confront the individual. 

Footage from the altercation showed Offset seemingly throwing punches into the crowd. Later, in October 2021, Offset was sued by Izquierdo and Crespo, both of whom claimed they were injured during the altercation. 

They alleged that while enjoying their time as paying customers in the club's VIP section, Offset' unprovoked' leaped from the elevated area to assault them. The plaintiffs accused Offset of intentionally targeting them, leading to significant injuries that required medical treatment.

Additionally, the lawsuit alleged that the strip club had a history of inadequate security, contributing to a dangerous environment for patrons. The plaintiffs also accused Offset of assault and battery, asserting that his actions were both harmful and offensive.

In the legal case, Izquierdo and Crespo claimed to have experienced emotional distress due to actions taken by Offset at the strip club. They filed the lawsuit seeking unspecified damages.

However, the club, which was mentioned as a defendant in the lawsuit, firmly denied any wrongdoing on its part. 

The strip club's management contended that the alleged victims contributed to the incident and their subsequent injuries by engaging in behavior such as spraying champagne inside the club.

Ultimately, all claims against the club were voluntarily dismissed months later, but by August 2024, the alleged victims received default judgments in their favor.

In more recent news, The Blast shared that the rapper found himself at the center of online drama after reacting to a video of his estranged wife enjoying a night out at a New York club with NFL star Stefon Diggs. 

The video showcased the two having a great time together and quickly went viral on social media. In the aftermath, Offset responded to a comment suggesting that Cardi's happiness was a source of pain for him.

Although he denied the implication, many fans began to troll him for his quick response, questioning his claim of being unaffected. The situation escalated when a celebrity news page shared the video compilation, highlighting Cardi and Diggs' chemistry.

An Instagram user poked fun at Offset, suggesting he was "punching air," while others noted how swiftly he replied, implying he was still invested in the situation.

Despite his attempt to convey indifference by stating he was "happy for her," his rapid engagement with the comments contradicted his message.

When the rapper is not battling court cases, he is getting intense with his estranged wife on social media, especially since she filed for divorce.

The former couple's December clash was no exception. The feud erupted when Offset suggested that his ex was distorting the narrative of their breakup to portray herself as the victim and him as the villain.

He accused the "Bodak Yellow" rapper of exaggerating their story for sympathy, describing her as a "fire woman" who creates great music yet is overly focused on her relationships with men.

In response, Cardi delivered a passionate rant, defending her lifestyle while criticizing Offset's views. She positioned him as the true manipulator in their relationship and held him responsible for the delays in their divorce. 

Cardi urged him to stop pushing a narrative and demanded he sign the divorce papers immediately, emphasizing her frustration with the situation.
