Drake is suing the woman who accused him of raping and impregnating her last year.
In April 2017, Layla Lace went on Sirius XM's Shade 45 and told the hosts Drake disappeared after she revealed her alleged pregnancy, reports E! News.
“It’s 100 percent sure. He knows it. I’m just going to leave it at that,” she said. “He pretty much was like, ‘I'mma call you back,’ and the phone calls just stopped.”
Lace also mentioned the rapper and repeated her claims in a post on her now-deleted Instagram account.
“So I guess still in this era this is the new thing that after you tell a dude you pregnant they stop answering they phone,” she wrote, according to People Magazine. “I feel so stupid … I never told this man ‘No’; I did everything he told me to do … ((NEVER)) asked him for a dime … But don’t worry; I'mma make sure I make a field day out of your f**king ass.”
The “In My Feelings” rapper filed a suit against Lace, whose real name is Laquana Morris, this week, according to People Magazine.
The lawsuit alleges Lace made up her claims a month after Drake stopped responding to her text messages and calls following "consensual, protected sex" in Manchester while he was on tour last year. The suit says Lace got upset when Drake wouldn’t allow her to continue to travel with him after their encounter.
The paper also cast doubt on Lace’s pregnancy. The document says the pair used protection during their sexual encounter and accuses Lace of refusing to take a paternity test.
“There is no credible evidence of pregnancy, nor any baby, which would have been born last fall,” the suit reads.
A month after their encounter, according to Drake's account, Lace told Manchester police she was raped. Drake was cleared of any wrongdoing by authorities, and it was then, he alleges, Lace asked him for money in exchange for silence.
"Enough is enough. With this action, Drake is refusing to allow Layla to get away with her malicious plot and scheme to extort millions of dollars from him by threatening to go public with salacious (and ever-changing) false accusations of conduct that simply did not happen," the lawsuit says.
"It would have been easy for Drake to pay for silence. However, Drake does not want to take the easy way out. Layla and her attorneys underestimated Drake's steadfast resolve not to pay hush money to avoid negative publicity arising from fabricated claims. He looks forward to holding Layla and those working in concert with her responsibly for he egregious misconduct."
