Takeoff’s Father Files $1M Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Takeoff's Solo Album 'The Last Rocket' Set for November Release

According to news reports, the father of late rapper Takeoff of the famed ATL trio Migos, has joined the $1 million wrongful death civil lawsuit against Houston’s 810 Billiards & Bowling.

Brant J. Stogner, the attorney for Takopff’s dad Kenneth Ball, announced that Mr. Ball is an Intervenor in the case, seeking compensation from the business where his son lost his life last year. Ball is suing for funeral expenses, psychological and psychiatric expenses, loss of advice, counsel, services, care, maintenance, and support.

Takeoff’s $26 million estate has become the center of this legal battle between his father and mother, Titiana Davenport. She previously filed a lawsuit against the Houston bowling alley, citing inadequate security and the owners’ knowledge of the establishments history of violent crimes prior to Takeoff’s murder.

Takeoff was shot and killed outside of 810 Billiards & Bowling last November. Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, was arrested and charged on Dec. 2, 2022 with the rapper’s murder.

SOURCE SPORTS: Browns QB Deshaun Watson Settles 20 Out of 24 Lawsuits Against Him

deshaun watson lawsuits

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has settled 20 out of the 24 civil lawsuits against him. Southeast Texas attorney Tony Buzbee released a statement saying Watson settled all but four of the sexual misconduct suits. The terms and amounts of the settlements are confidential.

Attorney Buzbee announced the agreements on Tuesday, while praising every woman who sued Watson.  He plans to represent the four women, including Watson’s first accuser, Ashley Solis at trial who did not settle. Buzbee filed the lawsuits against Watson last year when he was with the Houston Texans.

The women who sued accused Watson of exposing himself and touching them inappropriately during massage appointments, along with harassment allegations. Earlier this year, two Southeast Texas grand juries no-billed and decided not to indict Watson after a police investigation of the claims.

Meantime, the troubles for the QB may not be over. An NFL spokesman said the settlements with 26-year-old Watson “has no impact on the collectively bargained disciplinary process.” The NFL could suspend him if it finds he violated the league’s personal conduct policy.

R. Kelly Sexual Abuse Accuser Reportedly Wins Civil Lawsuit

R. Kelly is finally facing legal defeat two months after being charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Judge Moira Johnson granted a default judgment after the singer failed to appear in court despite being served a summons to attend. Kelly can get the judgment overturned if he gets an attorney involved, but his funds are reportedly low. It would’ve been cheaper to just show up.

The attorney, who is identified as H.W., of the accuser, requested the default judgment.  H.W. alleges that the disgraced singer met the accuser during her 16th birthday celebration in 1998. He was aware of her age and still slipped her a business card. The then-16-year-old got in contact with R. Kelly despite her mother’s interception and alleges that the pair had sex once a month between May 26, 1998, to May 25, 1999.

The “Ignition” singer was just released from prison a month and a half ago after a friend paid the $160,000 in back child support that he owed his ex-wife, Andrea Kelly. Although Kells is a free man and getting paid to do club appearances in his hometown, he still has his sexual abuse case ahead of him. If convicted, he’s facing 70 years in the slammer.
