Lil Uzi Vert and Floyd Mayweather are facing legal troubles after being sued by a man who claims he was assaulted by the duo and members of the boxing legend’s entourage.

The lawsuit, filed by Abdullah Ali, alleges that the incident occurred on June 27 last year, in New York while Ali was trying to catch a glimpse of Mayweather’s trailer.

Ali’s attorneys state that their client was recording the former world champion’s trailer unloading a Rolls-Royce when he was spotted by Lil Uzi Vert and members of Mayweather’s entourage.

According to Ali, he was then attacked by at least 10 men, who punched and kicked him for about a minute as he lay on the ground. The alleged assault left Ali with numerous injuries, including him missing front teeth, as evidenced by photos he provided.

Despite the severity of the allegations, Lil Uzi Vert’s legal team has vehemently denied the claims. They assert that the rapper does not know Floyd Mayweather and has no affiliation with Mayweather’s Money Team. Furthermore, they insist that Lil Uzi Vert was not present at the location of the alleged incident.

The lawsuit also names Floyd Mayweather, although Ali admits he is unsure whether the boxing legend witnessed the incident.

According to Ali, he reported the assault to the police, but no action was taken, prompting him to seek unspecified damages through the lawsuit.

This legal battle marks the second lawsuit against Lil Uzi Vert in a week. The rapper is also facing a lawsuit from production company M99 Studios, which claims that Lil Uzi Vert owes them over $500,000.

The complaint, filed in a US District Court in Atlanta, accuses the rapper, their company Uzivert LLC, and manager Amina Diop of failing to honor their contractual obligations. M99 Studios, a Los Angeles-based company, specializes in tour packages, creative direction, and production for concerts and live events.
