Drake and Future

A woman who attended Drake and Future’s concert has sued them, claiming she was rape at the event.

In a court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the woman – identified only as Jane Doe – says she was sexually attacked at the Drake/Future concert on August 14, 2016 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Drake and Future are being sued for $25 million (£19.3m) by this woman.


She alleges she was approached by ‘a man associated with Bridgestone Arena’ who offered to take her backstage to meet the performers.

However, according to her lawsuit, he ‘suddenly … pushed Jane Doe to the ground and violently assaulted her, shattering her cell phone and causing severe physical and psychological injury.’

According to The Tennessean, Leavy Johnson, 38, was indicted on a rape charge in January, and is currently awaiting trial in Nashville.

He reportedly had outstanding warrants for his arrest at the time of the alleged attack and the woman argues that the arena, the touring companies, the security company and the rappers should have been aware that he ‘posed an unreasonable risk to others’.
