Boxing icon Floyd Mayweather is currently embroiled in legal troubles as he faces allegations of leading a violent assault on rapper Lil Uzi Vert.
Recent court filings reveal that the incident took place on June 9, 2024, during a private event in Los Angeles. According to the documents, a confrontation that involved Mayweather and his group escalated into violence against Lil Uzi Vert.
An anonymous plaintiff, claiming to have seen the event first-hand, has initiated a lawsuit against Mayweather for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, alongside including accusations against other members of Mayweather’s circle.
This lawsuit contends that Mayweather, along with his crew, engaged in a severe attack on Lil Uzi Vert, leaving him with numerous injuries. It suggests that the actions were vicious, involving malice and deceit, and describes the attack as premeditated.
To date, Lil Uzi Vert has not publicly addressed the altercation or the lawsuit. Similarly, responses from Mayweather’s camp have yet to be provided following inquiries.
The demands of the lawsuit include compensation that covers medical bills, lost earnings, and punitive damages. The lawyer representing the plaintiff emphasized a zero-tolerance stance on bullying and violence, stating that they are committed to bringing those responsible to justice.
This lawsuit adds to a series of accusations against Mayweather, who has previously faced multiple allegations of assault and has been convicted of domestic violence.
With ongoing investigations, the full context and implications of this lawsuit are yet to be determined. Nevertheless, it brings to the forefront Floyd Mayweather’s controversial history, casting a shadow on his career once more.
