Canadian rapper, Drake has filed a lawsuit against a woman who made false rape allegations against him, claiming he got her pregnant in 2017, in other to extort money from him.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Drake claims he met the lady, Layla Lace, last year during his “Boy Meets World” Tour in Manchester, England.
He said after one of his concerts in February 2017, they hooked up at his hotel where they had “consensual” sex and “Layla also voluntarily and happily performed oral sex.”
The rapper is now suing Layla for civil extortion, emotional distress, fraud, defamation, and abuse of process.
The suit indicated that in May 2017, Layla hired a lawyer and demanded money for her alleged child and threatened the OVO rapper with defamation after TMZ posted a story where he claimed he had never even met her.
The suit claims Layla refused to take a paternity test and both herself and her lawyer went radio silent.
Drake says the whole thing was a scam “There is no credible evidence of pregnancy, nor any baby, which would have been born last Fall.”
According to the lawsuit, Layla switched tactics and went to authorities in New York and alleged Drake had raped her during their one-night stand. Drake says at that point Layla hired a new lawyer who demanded money or else they would make the rape complaint public.
When the case was referred to the Manchester police they cleared Drake of sexual assault accusations him.
