Lil Uzi Vert’s Entourage Accused Of Assaulting Man For Looking At Their Rolls-Royce

Lil Uzi Vert has a sticky situation on their hands. The 29-year-old rapper is being sued for assault after their entourage allegedly attacked a man in New York for looking at their Rolls-Royce.

AllHipHop reports that Abdullah Ali filed a civil lawsuit in Philadelphia’s Common Pleas Court this week. Ali claims that Uzi and 10 of their associates violently attacked him in June 2023 in Manhattan. The alleged victim stated that he was “lawfully present” on a public sidewalk on Park Avenue, and simply stopped to look at a luxury vehicle parked in a trailer that had Money Team LLC branding.

“Defendants …. without provocation attacked, assaulted and/or battered plaintiff Abdullah Ali while he was observing a Rolls-Royce vehicle that was parked in a Money Team LLC labeled trailer,” the lawsuit reads. Ali claims that he suffered from a dislocated shoulder that required surgery and lost multiple teeth. He is suing Uzi and their entourage for assault, battery, negligence, and emotional distress.

Ali and his legal team originally tried to file this lawsuit in New York, but it was thrown out by U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton for jurisdictional issues. His lead attorneys, Corey Morgenstern and Michael Rose, hope that Philadelphia will be more receptive to the case. Notably, Floyd Mayweather has also been named as a co-defendant, along with his LLCs and 12 unnamed people; six of the unnamed individuals are allegedly tied to Mayweather’s Money Team.

“Contrary to popular belief the streets of New York City are not a boxing ring,” Matthew Blit, another one of Ali’s attorneys, said. “There are ramifications for laying your hands on a person. Our client was helpless that night, but he has chosen wisely to level the playing field and challenge the champ and musician in court with us in his corner.”

Atlantic Records, Uzi’s label, has denied their involvement in the alleged assault. They added that they do not know Mayweather personally, have no affiliation with Money Team, and were not even near where the alleged incident took place. Judge Stanton added that there was no evidence to place Uzi near where the alleged assault happened, though they were in the city for their Pink Prom event.
