Overview

  • Judge Tiana J. Murillo canceled the August 18 trial and ordered the plaintiffs to refile their default application by August 25.
  • Plaintiffs Adam Rahman and Mark Schaefer allege that Kodak Black initiated the altercation that led to gunfire outside a 2022 Super Bowl after-party at The Nice Guy.
  • Earlier bids for default judgments of $62 million and $10.6 million were rejected due to flawed proof of service and a lack of medical evidence substantiating damages.
  • Dieuson Octave, known as Kodak Black, remains the sole defendant after Justin Bieber and venue owners were dismissed in mid-2024.
  • Attorney Bradford Cohen insists Kodak Black was never properly served and points to video footage showing the rapper rushing to help during the fight rather than instigating it.
