Kodak Black Faces $10M Lawsuit Over Super Bowl Party Shooting Even Though He Was a Victim

Kodak Black is once again caught up in legal drama. The rapper is being sued for a whopping $10.6 million by two men who say they were shot alongside him during a wild shooting outside a 2022 Super Bowl after-party hosted by Justin Bieber. But Kodak’s attorney says the lawsuit is baseless and borders on absurd.

Attorney Bradford Cohen is calling out the civil case filed by Mark Schaefer and Adam Rahman, who claim Kodak was responsible for the chaos outside The Nice Guy nightclub in West Hollywood after Super Bowl LVI. The shooting left multiple people injured, including Kodak himself.

“We are not paying them a thing, it’s us who are the victim of a legal assault by these two people,” Cohen told TMZ Hip Hop.

According to Cohen, not only was Kodak never properly served with legal papers, but the team only found out about the lawsuit because a media outlet contacted them. He says any court proceedings so far have moved without Kodak or his legal team being notified, making the current request for a default judgment completely unfair.

Cohen also questioned the plaintiffs’ version of events, pointing to surveillance footage that reportedly shows Kodak rushing toward a fight that had already started, trying to help, not harm.

“They allege Kodak initiated the altercation that led to the shooting?” Cohen said. “There is video evidence that shows Kodak running to the scene of a fight to help people getting beat up when the gunfire starts. Kodak gets shot, so they are suing the man who got shot? I don’t understand the lawsuit.”

Video footage from that night shows Kodak posing for pictures with Gunna outside the venue, before Gunna gets into a car with Chloe Bailey. Moments later, Kodak notices a commotion on the sidewalk and rushes to intervene. A physical altercation quickly turns chaotic as multiple gunshots are fired. Kodak is seen getting hit and staggering away from the crowd.

As for the lawsuit’s process, Cohen says the legal paperwork was misdelivered to an address that hasn’t belonged to Kodak’s mother in two years.

“They never served us,” Cohen said. “The documents were sent to Kodak’s mom’s former home, a property she sold two years ago.”

For now, Cohen is preparing to fight the case and push back on the $10.6 million default judgment. Whether the court will accept their challenge remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Kodak’s team is not planning to write any checks.
