Drake Claims Producer Detail Has Gone MIA as Assault Trial Looms

If you're reading this, it's almost too late for music producer Detail in his upcoming assault case against Drake.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Drake claims Detail has gone off the radar as of late. He says the music producer was scheduled to be deposed in February, but failed to show up or communicate with Drake's team whatsoever.
Drake also says Detail skipped a medical exam and his lawyers haven't heard a peep from Detail's side in over a month. Detail's lawyers dropped him in December, so Drake's legal team was forced to email him directly — but never heard back.
The judge recently sanctioned Detail for his actions, but the case is proceeding as planned and the trial is scheduled to begin later this month ... assuming Detail shows.
Detail – real name Noel Fisher – sued Drake and his bodyguard Chubbs over an alleged 2014 assault at the rapper’s L.A. mansion. He claimed in the summer of 2014, Drake reached out to him to invite him over, claiming the rapper said he wanted to talk about the two working together again.
The producer says he showed up at Drake’s home and immediately ran into Chubbs, who he claims punched him in the face and allegedly broke his jaw.
The alleged injuries were so brutal, the producer says he was hospitalized for days and had to undergo several surgeries. He said he asked Drake to cover his medical bills, but Drake refused. He filed the lawsuit seeking unspecified damages.
Drake fired back saying his bodyguard only acted in self-defense and denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
