DaBaby may have to fork over a cool $4 million to the brother of his ex DaniLeigh over their infamous bowling alley brawl.
According to a report from In Touch Weekly, Brandon Bills (real name Brandon Curiel) has filed documents demanding $2 million in general damages and another $2 million in special damages for the February 2022 fight.

In footage of the ordeal, DaBaby could be seen throwing the first punch at Bills at a California bowling alley.
After Bills collapsed to the ground, the rapper’s crew surrounded him and began throwing punches, leaving him with several noticeable cuts and bruises on his face.

Police later investigated the incident and looked to charge DaBaby with assault with a deadly weapon, though he maintained that his actions were the result of self-defense. When Bills refused to cooperate with authorities, the investigation came to a halt.
Bills did, however, file a civil lawsuit against DaBaby, demanding “unspecified damages” for “physical and psychological damage” as well as coverage for his medical expenses.
In April of this year, DaniLeigh’s brother hired a public investigator to track down the “Suge” rapper to serve him the lawsuit, though his efforts were unsuccessful. Bills then proposed that the court allow him to publish the lawsuit in the local paper instead, which they approved.
He’s also suing the venue, a Los Angeles bowling alley named Corbin Bowl, but the company filed an answer denying any wrongdoing.

Bills claims that staff members present during the altercation had a duty to protect him from the assault, though the alley maintains that they were under no legal obligation to do so.
If a judge rules in Corbin Bowl’s favor, the legal responsibility for the lawsuit will fall squarely on DaBaby’s shoulders.

The altercation occurred months after Bills expressed that he was upset at the way things went down when DaBaby and DaniLeigh broke up. The tension between the former couple culminated in a heated argument following their split, due to which she was charged with assaulting the rapper back in 2021.
