‘s armed guards allegedly refused a subpoena issued to the rapper in relation to the murder of .
According to the , Mauricio Padilla, lawyer for Dedrick Williams, one of the three men accused of murdering XXXTentacion, issued a motion last week requiring Drake (real name Aubrey Graham) to deliver a deposition later this month.
Padilla alleged that when an attempt was made to deliver the subpoena outside Drake’s California home on February 14, guards not only closed the gates in the face of the servers, but also kicked the subpoena down the driveway.
The defence lawyer’s filing also included transcribed audio of the conversation said to have taken place between the process servers and Graham’s guards, reports .
According to the audio, security repeatedly allegedly insisted the process servers had to get off Graham’s property and maintained that they were neither expecting any deliveries, nor authorised to accept anything.
In trying to plead their case, one of the process server’s allegedly told the guards: “It is only a subpoena for a virtual deposition, it is not even like a lawsuit bro.”
After one final attempt to serve Graham, one of the process server’s apparently said: “By the way, I like Drake.” To which the guard replied, “I am not accepting anything.”
Along with trying to serve Drake, Padilla claimed a subpoena was also served to his lawyer Bradford Cohen, asking if he would “accept service on behalf of” the rapper which Cohen allegedly refused.
