Rapper Joey Bada$$ has reached a deal to settle the $1,500,000 lawsuit accusing him of injuring a Donald Trump impersonator and costing him thousands of dollars in medical bills after a show incident.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Bada$$ and the man who sued him have resolved all claims and the case will be closed. The docs note that case is officially settled and closed per their agreement.
Back in 2017, the impersonator, Phillip Wilburn, sued the rapper (real name Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott) accusing him of pushing him off a stage during an MTV event in Los Angeles.

The rapper denied any wrongdoing.
