Roberto LeBron is suing Rhymes on claims that the singer and his nine bodyguards kicked him in the head after he spat on Rhymes’ car. The lawsuit was filed Monday at the New York State Supreme Court.
LeBron, 20, claims he sustained injuries including a concussions and a split lip. His lawyer, Mark Kressner, says they are seeking compensatory damages as well as punitive damages. “They proceeded to beat the hell out of him,” said Kressner of his client.
“Nothing has been proven yet,” said Rhymes’ lawyer Scott Leemon.
