The group alleged in the lawsuit that the negligence of concert promoters resulted in the rapper’s murder.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Devante alleged that concert promoters failed to keep the 28-year old rapper “safe.” He added, the ‘vicious mob attack’ which took place on Dec. 19, 2021 was due to the negligence of the event organizers.

In the documents, Caldwell referred to the security measures as ‘lackadaisical to totally absent,’ He is going after Live Nation, C3 Presents, Bobby Dee Presents and Snoop Dogg’s LLC, among others, for millions in damages. Caldwell claimed in the lawsuit, Drakeo was attacked by a mob of 50 to 100 people, some of whom had knives.

The attack which lasted up to 15 minutes left Drakeo’s escort fighting for their lives, without proper security.
